Mike Leahy

Mike has an extensive real estate background and advised us in waterfront permit appeals and processing. Mike has also helped us with family matters involving defense of our juvenile son. He speaks in understandable language with a knack for simplifying complex legal concerns. In each case our dec...isions were favorable, and more importantly, the decisions were exactly what Michael told us to expect.

Posted by Johannes | February 18, 2011 | Lemon Law

MD Attorney for many instances

Have worked with Mr. Leahy on quite a few instances. From dealing with MD lemon law, to MD law enforcement (speeding tickets) to MD real estate questions/issues. In any of these instances has Michael Leahy managed to exceed expectations. I always look forward working with him on (m)any instanc...es..

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
