Dui

I hired attorney David Leake, for a DUI case,He was very knowledgeable and very professional. He returned phone calls quickly,and answered all my questions. I consider him the best lawyer in Somerset county,and very great in the courtroom. He will definitely be my new attorney for anything in the fut...ure.. He also treated me as an equal,and puts his full attention to your case. To do the absolute best for YOU!! Great Lawyer!!

Recomend to anyone

I consulted Attorney Leak because of concerns about firearms law and possible loss of my carry permit after a dui. I couldn't have made a better choice! David was very knowledgeable about the subject , as well as a very nice friendly guy! He even went so far as to call the sheriff for additional info...rmation. David will be my attorney from now on.

Awsome attorney

I just left my final court appearance,David Leake was my attorney on a criminal aggravated assault case.he answered every question I had at any time,he would return my phone calls very fast and was very friendly to my family.long story short I walked in court expecting to do jail time and walked out ...with nothing,no probation,no time at ALL behind bars since day one of the case that lasted just under a year. If you choose to seek counsel you will NOT BE DISSAPOINTED..

Affordable, personable, effective

Attorney Leake is by far the most effective and personable lawyer in the Somerset/Cambria county area in my opinion. He worked hard on my custody case and always kept in constant communication. I told him my concerns and my ideal outcome, and he made it happen, while also being realistic about oth...er possible outcomes. I would definitely recommend attorney Leake!
