Fantastic Attorney!!

Mr. Leckie and his staff are exceptional! Very competent, quickly responsive and most compassionate. Mr. Leckie was able to have my son’s charges reduced on a difficult case. We were extremely pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Invictus Law!

Outstanding representation

Posted by

Through 18 months pre-trial preparation, Eric Leckie consistently demonstrated his knowledge of Virginia law and thoroughly researched the many nuances of my particular case. He skillfully coordinated his defense by meeting with many people in the various offices instrumental in ensuring a fair trial for a very unusual and difficult case. He worked tirelessly and effectively with the Sheriff’s office, doctors and medical specialists, and prosecutor ‘s office to make the outcome of our situation as good as it could possibly be. Both he and the entire Invictus Law staff were supportive, responsive and understanding during this difficult time. I can unconditionally recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

I am a former retired vet who was facing criminal charges that were unjust . I retained Mr. Leckie with the intention to go to trial. When he saw the charges filed against me he immediately knew I was innocent and that they were reaching. When I presented paperwork for who my lawyer representation was (Mr. Leckie) all charges were dropped immediately ! I didn't even have to go to trial. I paid the deposit fee to retain and that was it. Mr. Leckie knew what he was doing when he did it. He didn't want me to waste a lot of money for something he knew was ridiculous, and the way he went about proceeding got everything dismissed before it started. He is an amazing lawyer HE DOES NOT PLAY. Retain him!

Eric leckie is a fantastic lawyer. After my free consultation I quickly made the decision to hire him. It was the best decision I ever made. He was very thorough and told me exactly what to expect and how it would all turn out, and he was correct. He will respond to any questions you have in a timely manner and is very professional. I am stress free and can finally sleep again.

The outcome blew my mind.

Posted by

Mr. Leckie was on point from the very 1st phone call. Obviously just after anything happening that would make you need an attorney I was nervous and scared. Eric was awesome on the phone to help me get a calm feeling and he was very professional. I unknowingly left my pistol in my carry on and was ticketed by TSA. Mr. Leckie was able to get the charges dropped before going to trial. I credit his humble attitude and the fact that I was very cooperative with the officers at the airport.

Incredibly professional and personally dedicated.

Mr. Leckie and his team at Invictus Law are the pinnacle of professionalism. Every interaction with him and his staff throughout the legal process was handled with incredible confidence and skill that took the anxiety out of a serious situation. They worked with me to get through a 7.5 month deployment by handling all the technicalities. Mr. Leckie gave personal time and attention to my case. He did specific research to find similar cases to build my case. I recommend Invictus Law to everyone. He knows exactly what he’s doing and he is the best.
