Timothy Patrick Leahy

When you are dealing with a divorce as a plaintiff and have a difficult, unstable and unpredictable defendant as I did, you want someone by your side who deals with what is happening as opposed to a bunch of hypotheticals. I say that having had a very different idea of what an attorney does in a divo...rce, an idea derived largely from my honorary law degree from Law and Order University. I was internally awash in what if's and how can we's, because I was frankly scared for my child's safety and the direction things would take generally. Mr. Leahy guided me on how to keep my end of business by the book, consistently allowing and documenting access and visitation, while maintaining my own need for guaranteeing safety as much as possible. I had to know what my limits were and what I was not going to compromise on. Thankfully all those were well in line with what family court likes to see happen or not happen. For the entire process, we played by the books and just let the court process generate the next steps to take. I found Mr Leahy to not be excessive with motions and in fact only did what was truly necessary. Where I really came to appreciate him was when defendants attorney treated me with some hostility in a conversational setting where that was not at all expected. He did not even remotely play into the drama. This is very useful when you as the client are trying to keep your emotions in check. His treatment of defendants counsel was always respectful, friendly and very matter of fact. He never strayed from this, no matter how strange things got, and they got pretty strange due to defendants non participation in the process. His overall vibe is calm, steady and drama free. I would encourage anyone going through a divorce with a difficult person to always stick with what is most important in your goals and get yourself an attorney like Mr. Leahy who will maintain consistent strategies to accomplish them.

I want to say that I had great support from Mr. Byrd from Tim Leahy and from Valerie Anias, especially from Tim. Tim would listen to me give me advise, when I was down or happy he would try to get my spirits up. The office of Byrd and Byrd has now have my total respect on what they do to help their... clients. They treated my family with respect and treated them like they were friends. Tim great job and thanks for being there for me when I needed your help.

Divorce is never easy, but Mr. Leahy made the process as easy as possible. From almost immediate repsonses via email to actually hand filing court documents, you can tell Mr. Leahy really cares about his clients. He explained every detail of each step, and was patient with every question or concern... that I had.

For the past several month's, i've been going back in forth with my rental community for faulty (and recently discovered hazardous/illegal installations) water heater issues. I spoke to Mr. Leahy and he explained what my options were and the benefit of each one. The tone and conversation with him d...efinitely let me know that I wasn't "stuck between a rock and a hard place" with trying to see what my legal options were when it comes to resolving my issues.
