Leigh Straker Taylor Higgins

Leigh is a brilliant attorney. She absolutely knows and understands tenant’s rights law in great detail. She’s an extremely good listener and knows how convey her client’s issues in a very clear manner. I was in a situation where my health was being adversely affected in my apartment. For over s...ix months my landlord would not listen to my complaints nor my requests. I met with Leigh about my case. She took time to explain to me the different options and possible outcomes. Throughout the process she was caring, direct and never over promised anything. But she delivered much needed help! The same day Leigh intervened on my behalf with my landlord, I was released from my lease and able to move. My health has improved tremendously because of her help. I’m forever grateful to her. I highly recommend Leigh to any tenant in need of assistance with housing and landlord issues. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

I don't usually trust lawyers, but Leigh is different. She was an excellent resource and a trustworthy partner in my battle against an absolutely terrible landlord. She helped me stay at my rented house until I was finally able to buy my own place (about a year). Leigh is extremely profession...al, helpful, attentive, and responsive. And one thing I particularly appreciated is that she always checked with me before sending anything to my landlord or his lawyer. Can't recommend Leigh enough.

My partner and I had to break our lease due to a difficult landlord that was making our lives miserable. We found Leigh through a referral service. She provided excellent legal services and was there for us when we needed her no matter the time. She was able to successfully break our lease with o...ur landlord with minimal pain and cost. I would highly recommend Leigh to any firend.

My landlord was threatening to saddle me with cleaning/maintenance bills if I didn't dust the entire house and do the yardwork whenever he asked......Seemed like a normal person when I rented the room and moved in. Anyway, Leigh calmly explained to me what my rights are as a tenant and that I was in ...the right in this dispute. I went back to my landlord with the info I got from Leigh during the consultation I booked with DC Tenant Rights Center and he stopped harassing me. I'm very happy with the $70 I spent on consultation because my landlord backed off when I got a well reasoned legal opinion.

Landlord disputes are so stressful. I had no idea where to begin. Leigh knew exactly what was going on and had the exact legal language printed out to show me my rights. I went back to my landlord and got what I was supposed to have. A small investment in a legal fee saved me thousands of dollars. Th...ank you!!
