Luanne C. Leeds

Luanne is an excellent, knowledgeable, and easily approachable lawyer. My experience with her was in healthcare, and she has extensive knowledge and expertise to help guide you along the way. Her prices are reasonable, as compared to other lawyers. She responds very quickly, and her paralegal, Kendra..., is also very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Luanne as your lawyer, especially in regards to healthcare!

Ms. Leeds represented me at an institutional hearing at a large public university in Feb 2014. She and her assistant had at least two months to familiarize themselves with my case, relevant AAUP policies adopted by the university, AND specific university handbook policies and procedural rules related... to the hearing, only failing to do so. They didn't notice illicit tactics and gross procedural violations of the procedures committed by the university administration and/or by themselves prior to and during the hearing. Ms. Leeds acted unprofessional and seemed lost during the two-day hearing. She failed to use the second day in full (only 3 hours, versus 8-9 hours used by the administration on the first day) and effectively to make a case and point out the administration's illegitimate maneuvers and discriminative practices perpetrated on me over the course of the years leading up to my dismissal. She neglected to use the visual evidence and didn't utilize expert witnesses and implement her own strategies competently. When her fatal error was pointed out (she didn't know who was supposed to be doing the questioning of witnesses), she felt offended and threatened me and my faculty advocate to quit immediately, in the middle of the hearing, in a hostile manner. She also blamed the people who helped her understand the internal workings of the higher educational institution, after the hearing board dismissed my case; and, to everyone's surprise, she claimed she had an ample experience with institutional hearings on college campuses, contradicting her own confession. She did not give me clear instructions or advice regarding the next steps, immediately or in a timely manner, following the conclusion of the hearing. Ms. Leeds made me lose faith in the legal practitioners almost entirely. This review illustrates just a few things related to her professional malpractice and incompetence.
