Unprofessional

Leah has been entirely unprofessional and inappropriate in her dealings with our family. Does not even seem to understand the basics. I would run to any other lawyer.

Leah Morabito

Having a special needs child who reached the age of 18 became a complex time in our lives. Leah was consulted and hired to represent the family in obtaining Legal Guardianship that allowed me to once again be a voice in making decisions for my child well being. Leah was very professional, compass...ionate, knowledgeable and always available to address questions and/or concerns in a timely manner. Leah turned a very difficult situation around for the better.

Highly recommend

Leah Morabito is a kind and compassionate lawyer who worked with our family to make a difficult situation much, much easier. She was available to help us when we needed her, and answered our questions promptly and precisely. She obviously knows Maryland estate law, which made it much less confusing... for us. Since we were not Maryland residents dealing with a relative who had died in Maryland, it could have been confusing and time consuming to settle this estate, but Leah made it as easy as was possible with the circumstances. Not only was she technically a good lawyer, but she was obviously concerned about us as people which made it much easier to ask questions and deal with the situation. She is an excellent lawyer.
