Took $2500.00 of a $3000.00 retainer and dropped me without warning for being anxious?

Regretfully utilized (using this word lightly as she didn’t do much) Leigh Lyons in December of 2025 for my divorce. She burned through $2500 of my $3000 retainer (not including the additional filing fees) and dropped me as a client with no warning siting I was too anxious. Did I email a lot? Sure..., but always respectfully! To me, a lawyer who gets frustrated about follow up on custody for a divorce or an “anxious client” feels like someone who shouldn’t be a divorce lawyer, but you can and will find that with Leigh Lyons! While my lawyer friends expressed they get calls, texts, and emails at all times and in succession without breaking from the pressure, do not expect this compassion or professionalism with Leigh. Outside of this shocking unprofessional conduct at the end, she was generally a poor lawyer. Failing to share correspondence from the opposing council for almost a month (Opposing Council’s response sent to her May 5th. She shared with me on June 1st) Poor communication and availability Presenting a condescending attitude Asking me to check her math on items all while charging $300/hour?? Leigh seems a lot more concerned with growing her pickle ball career (lol) than she is with doing her job. I’ve also noticed that any negative review posted, Leigh will respond saying they were not her clients. (e-mails attached in the comments so there is no confusion.) Literally the worst exchange in a service I have ever received across the board in my 33 years. Good riddance !

Great Divorce Attorney

Leigh was wonderful throughout my divorce. She explained the process well and made me feel supported. She set my expectations and kept me well informed, as well as provided context for all questions and advice.

Fierce!

Leigh is fierce in the courtroom and she doesn't back down! We have been up against some of the most arrogant attorneys and she didn't blink an eye. She will fight for you. Additionally, the rapport she builds with her clients is outstanding. She handles anxiety (from clients) with warmth and under...standing. She is never rushed , returns phone calls and emails promptly, and had never seemed preoccupied. Outstanding human, even better attorney.

Divorce

Leigh was a life savor. She took time to explain the divorce process with me and was supportive and always available when I needed her. Leigh was exactly what I needed and with her legal help she got me through a really difficult time. She is reliable and honest which are so important when you are g...oing through such an emotional change.

Excellent!

Leigh did exactly what she told me she would do and for the price she quoted. I never felt that she was trying to over charge me and she got results!!!! Very satisfied!
