AWESOME ATTORNEY

Leo was very thorough and explored every avenue in order to help my case in the end his persistence won throughand garnered beautiful results

Posted by Monique | May 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Wonderful Attorney for Family Law

Leo has been wonderful to work with thus far. He is hardworking, honest with all possible outcomes, takes the time to listen, very knowledgeable, and fairly priced. I don't think anyone enjoys enduring a custody dispute but its an unfortunate reality sometimes. Leo puts things in perspective and Help...s me feel at peace with all possibilities. He is great!

Expungement

I hired Leo to expunge my record, not knowing anything about him or his firm, and couldn't be happier with the results. He was friendly, very accommodating with my hectic schedule, and very reasonably priced. He took care of things from start to finish and my record was expunged earlier then anticipa...ted.

Got the Job done!!!

Couldn't be happier with the outcome. Leo kept me updated constantly on what was going on with my case. I had just gotten my first dui and was unsure about how to handle it. He was highly recommended and definitely lived up to his reputation. My BAC was dropped to the lowest tier and I got to keep ...my license so I can work. I do have to do the classes which is mandatory and my. Charges will be expunged after a few months. Thanks Leo your the best.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
