This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The BEST attorney in Baltimore!

Alex Leikus is the BEST attorney in Baltimore. He was able to get my husband off of a DUI in Harford County, and he was able to keep his CDL which is an automatic 1 year loss with a dui. He also represented him at his MVA hearing and his fee was 50% less than every other attorney I spoke with. He ...is fantastic, very humble, and will work hard for you.

He knows how to work the system for you.

Alex worked hard and beat my case. Then he got my mother big money for a car accident. Always called me back. He will be our family lawyer forever! Thanks Alex

Got me out of real mess!

I was in a real messy criminal case. Alex took my case and beat it at trial. Not guilty on 8 counts. Walked me out of there and back to my family. He's the man! Funny guy too.
