Miracle Worker!

I am astonished by Mr. Leckie's work and would highly recommend anyone to be represented by him. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and made sure everything was under control in my case. While a funny guy, he also kept all of his work professional and seemed to have a way of getting things done right.... After it was all said and done, I am happy to say that I am extremely grateful for what he has done to help. Keep up the great work!

Almost Convicted

I myself and my cousin did a stupid thing at walmart one day and decided to steal, we got caught and was ended up with a court date and a petty larceny charge. This was our first offense and we have never done something so stupid like this ever in our life, we was so devastated. So we search up lawye...rs and found Mr Leckie. We both looked at his reviews and saw how much feedback he had, and there was nothing but positive reviews so we felt that he was the right lawyer for us. We gave him a call and he set a meeting with us as fast as possible. Soon as we set down with him he was very nice and friendly and knew what he was doing and how this case would work out. And that's when me and my cousin liked what we were hearing and felt very comfortable to have him as a lawyer. He worked with us financially as well which was a plus too. So soon as this whole court situation started at first we were almost convicted, but Mr Leckie worked so hard for us and didn't give up on us. We got a appeal and it went to circuit Court ,he kept in touch with us and told us what will happen next, that we will be okay and he was working hard for us. And let me tell you he did. On our next court date we got our case continued and was on good behavior for 6 months, we still kept in contact with Mr Leckie and kept up to date with our case. And when the new court date was finally here ,he gave us good information that we needed and he also talk to the prosecutor for us and said dont worry everything will be okay. And long behold it did, we was scared, but Mr leckie came through like he said and our case was dismissed. We were so happy and thrilled and was lost for words. We thank Mr Leckie so much ,he did a very outstanding job and we were so thankful that we picked a amazing lawyer. I will recommend him to anybody that needs a lawyer cause this man is incredible at what he does. Thank you again Mr Leckie we really honestly, truly appreciate it. :)

Extremely satisfied with Mr. Leckie's service

Mr. Leckie was very professional and knowledgeable in every aspect of the law concerning my case. I was very happy with the outcome, would absolutely retain him again if needed, and would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Mr. Leckie is not just a great lawyer but a good man. He knows what he is doing I was between a rock and a hard place and some how he was able to get everything straightened out. I would recommend Mr Leckie to anyone in need of legal services. He is also a veteran so he takes great care of military p...ersonnel.

Attorney Eric Leckie

A short time ago my daughter required legal services in Virginia Beach. She met Mr. Leckie and was immediately comforted by his professionalism and demeanor. I had occasion to speak with Mr. Leckie several times during the process and although I was five hundred miles away in Rhode Island, he kept ...me informed and in the loop with the steps he was taking to help my daughter. Through these conversations I became very confident in Mr. Leckie's knowledge of the law and in his ability to represent my daughter. We were both pleased with the outcome. As a police officer for twenty-five years, I've had both positive and negative interactions with attorneys but I can honestly say that our experience with Mr. Leckie was among the best. I would highly recommend Mr. Leckie to anyone who required legal services and I would not hesitate to utilize him again in the future.

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.
