"Jennifer Leffler continues the family tradition of exemplary legal practice started by her father, noted attorney Rodney Leffler. She began her legal career by distinguished herself in public service first as a Law Clerk in the Fairfax Circuit Court and then as a well-respected prosecutor in the Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney's office, gaining valuable experience that she applies to her legal practice. She has a highly pleasant and professional demeanor that have earned her much respect in the legal community. She is a smart, creative and very able attorney, whose skills well-serve her clients."
"I clerked with Ms. Leffler and have handled cases on the other side of the table from her when she was a prosecutor. She is an intelligent, hardworking lawyer who always put her client first. I would highly recommend her."
"Ms. Leffler is a well-respected attorney in our legal community. She is caring and compassionate with her clients and works hard to ensure that they fully understand what is going on with their respective legal matters. I highly recommend this attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jennifer is a great trial lawyer. She gained valuable experience clerking for a Judge in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, then serving as a prosecutor in Fairfax County. I have, and will continue to recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs a top notch criminal defense attorney in Northern VA."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Jennifer from back when she was a prosecutor. She did an excellent job in that position, she knew how to try a case, and she was very respectful to deal with. Now that she's transitioned to the defense side, she's in the unique perspective of having first-hand knowledge of how the prosecutor's office works. That gives her a significant leg up when defending her clients. She's got a great reputation in the community, and anyone would be lucky to have her on their side."
"Ms. Leffler has demonstrated her abilities in the courtroom as both a prosecutor and general practitioner. Her understanding of the court system and her rapport with other attorneys, prosecutors, judges and courthouse staff is unmatched. I recommend her services in all forms of legal disputes."
