Leno P. Thomas

I can't say enough in praise and recommendation regarding Leno Thomas' capability and command as a defense lawyer! In late 2019 as I was in my vehicle, stopped along with heavy freeway traffic when my girlfriend and I were plowed into very hard and fast from behind by a drunk driver. To make matters ...worse the police charged me with a DUI that night too. This would've been my second DUI, with increased ramifications, and permanent loss of certain rights, should I be found guilty of the highest tier charge. Devastated, I began shopping around for representation. I called a friend of mine, (an award winning injury lawyer in her own right) and she highly recommended that I contact Leno to take on the case. Leno was extremely thorough in calmly interviewing me, gaining a holistic overview along with the minute details of the arrest. He offered sage advice before even retaining his services, and after retaining Leno as my advocate he genuinely empathized with my situation soon after getting to know me. By 2020, it became apparent that the case would become a drawn out affair due to court administrative inefficacy during lockdowns, restrictions and Covid concerns. Leno was able to quell my fears and bring me down to earth as I would envision worst case scenarios playing out with my case. Early on, he gave me very specific instructions to prepare myself for the trial, and actions I could take in the meantime that would ensure that I was in the best position possible before my day in court. While this meant some drastic lifestyle changes, I followed his suggestions. Leno was always available to answer any and all questions. He quickly got in contact with me regarding any developments throughout the 2 and ½ year process. He would work diligently behind the scenes and update me on the specifics of pretrial affairs. We were given the run around by the courts in Philadelphia multiple times, told to appear and then told to leave empty handed. Each occasion was a tense and grinding experience for me personally. However, Leno was always there to reassure me that I'd be okay if I kept doing well for myself, and following his recommendations. The reassurance vocalized from his years of successful experience was incredibly helpful for me on a logical and an emotional level. I was incredibly grateful. Finally on the day of my trial, well into 2022, Leno walked up to the stand on my behalf, with the confidence and poise or a hardened professional. There was no question that he was going to give it his all as my advocate. I felt a calm wash over, surprisingly. After some formal proceedings and deliberations, my case was dismissed! Not only was I able to move on from a painful period of legal limbo, but I could now navigate new chapters with a fresh outlook on life. 2 ½ years later, without a drink, and a bright future ahead, I have the sincerest, most heartfelt thanks for Leno. He played a crucial role in getting my life into a better spot in more than one way!

It is a rare combination to be one of the best lawyers and great human being. Leno is one of them. He just doesn't see you as another case. He tries to know you, see through your eyes, become you. That is the how he treated me, and that is why I was able to get a deal that was better I was even hopp...ing for. He is very knowledgeable and he will explain to you everything in detail, in plain language so you will understand. He will almost always will pick up his phone, and when he cannot he will call you back in less than an hour. How many lawyers do that? With the last lawyer before him, would take me several calls and only after a week he would call back. If you are in trouble as I was or you need a lawyer for any of your issues He should be the first and your only choice.
