Great Lawyer

Through the 2 year process of my husband case, Mr Leckie kept us informed, very professional, and great customer service. I would definitely recommend his law firm. Awesome!!!!

The outcome blew my mind.

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 w...as 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.

Experienced, Dedicated, Driven

If you want nothing less than the best outcome, I highly recommend Eric Leckie. Mr Leckie will put in the necessary work and keep you informed every step of the way. My son faced serious charges and without Mr Leckie the results could have been disastrous . He was prepared, honest, engaged and ...made sure we received the best outcome possible. This is not just a job for him it’s a mission. I highly recommend Eric Leckie

Military and Criminal defense. Phenominal attorney.

Eric Leckie by far has been one of the utmost professional and dedicated people I've met in life. His criminal defense resulted in the Nolle Presqui and of a serious felony offense however, as a client, I've walked away confidently knowing this was the best possible outcome. The quality representat...ion and knowledge of military law helped my case tremendously. The Invictus' law firm staff have all been very welcoming and resourceful throughout further inquiry of the case, They've kept me informed of any updates in a timely manner. I'm sure they're all happy my case has concluded, I was a headache at times Lol. Toni, Tori, Cheri, Kristine your services were greatly appreciated. Mr. Leckie wears an S on a red and blue suite under the shirt and tie. Highly recommended attorney!

Automobile Accident Case. SUPERB LAWYERING! INVICTUS LAW GETS RESULTS!

We can't say enough about the resoundingly successful outcome of the court hearing for my wife's accident. Invictus Law championed our cause against a recalcitrant insurance company and got my wife much-needed compensation for the injuries, trauma and damage she sustained. My wife, who was pregna...nt at the time of the accident, was hit by another driver who failed to see her at a four way stop. Although the damage to the car was minor, the event traumatized my wife who was greatly concerned about potential injury to our unborn son. The other driver's insurance company made light of her injuries, her trauma and the damage to her vehicle by refusing my wife any compensation even though their client (the other driver) was clearly at fault. We were at a loss as to how to proceed until we were introduced to Invictus Law. The legal team at Invictus Law provided us with the counsel and support we needed to take on the insurance company. The staff at Invictus Law professionally managed the scheduling of the various appointments, maintained communication with other driver's insurance and kept us informed of developments within the court. Invictus Law met with opposing counsel to talk about a possible settlement. When they refused to make a settlement, our lawyer, Eric Leckie, began the process of preparing my wife for court. My wife was very nervous, but he allayed her concerns and bolstered her confidence for her court appearance. He skillfully handled the court proceedings and the judge ruled in our favor! We can't thank Invictus Law enough for their determined professionalism and concern for our welfare. They took our seemingly hopeless situation and turned it into a very positive outcome!

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.
