I counsel and represent employees who want to know their rights concerning disciplinary issues, termination, hiring, promotion, contracts, or unemployment benefit matters. I represent public school employees, law enforcement personnel, nurses, doctors and other medical personnel, clerical staff and workers in many other fields, including chefs, truck drivers and customer service representatives.

I also counsel and represent small business owners who want to make sure they can make the best decisions for running their businesses without running afoul of the law, who need help dealing with government agencies and investigators, and, who want to protect their business interests from those who seek to take advantage of them.

MaryAnn represented me in a licensure matter. She was very thorough in preparing me for what was going to happen and was incredibly prepared and knowledgeable with the laws and statues and presented my case in a manner that was fair and based on the facts that had a very favorable outcome for me.

Ms. Leon provides very professional and personalized service. She took the time to get to know me and my specific circumstances which allowed her to craft a plan of action that best suited my needs. Ms. Leon was patient and willing to provide clarification to questions that I had. She maintained good communication from beginning to end. Thanks to Ms. Leon’s knowledge and expertise my situation had a favorable outcome.

Outstanding Legal Advice and Person
Dr. Leon worked with my wife on an employment matter. My wife was in extreme distress but after speaking with Dr. Leon her entire attitude changed and exuded a calmness that I had seen in moths. Dr. Leon just exudes knowledge and gives comfort of a fair and just resolution of a problem. God Bless her.

Prompt and clear assessment
Ms. Leon reviewed information provided about a potential discrimination complaint. Though the answer was disappointing, she was (gently) unequivocal, providing clear guidance for considering next steps.

Excellent employment attorney
I hired Ms. Leon to represent me in a EEOC federal law suit. She was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and responded to me quickly. She secured a large settlement for me and I am very pleased with her service. I recommend her without reservation..

The Best
I worked directly with Mary-Ann on a legal issue with a previous employer. She is very thourough and excellent at what she does. The case was a success. She definitely goes beyond to help, even with a personal matter that I asked her about. Outstanding lawyer, outstanding person.

Outstanding Attorney
I hired attorney Leon to represent me when I was denied unemployment benefits by a previous employer. She was both professional and kind in helping me to prepare for testimony. She demonstrated an impressive command of unemployment law and she went above and beyond to help me win my case. In my opinion, she is simply the best.

Knowledgeable and Compassionate
Ms. Leon represented me in an employment dispute, and performed wonderfully. Not only did she get me a favorable outcome in a short period of time, she salvaged my professional reputation.

Legal Assistant
I called yesterday to seek counsel for an employment issue. The legal assistant tone and mannerism was horrible. The assistant ask me to explain what I needed in a couple of words. The assistant told me that I dont think Ms. Leon can help you. I didn't understand how she came up with that conclusion when she limited me from explaining the best way possible for my call. Furthermore, you're an assistant and not the actual lawyer. I would think Ms. Leon should be telling me if she can help or not. Luckily, I contacted another lawyer and they just called to let me know they will take my case.

Run!!!!
Failed to look at proof. Failed at looking more into detail. Decided what her decision was going to be 5 minutes into our $200 “non refundable” discussion on my case. And returned 100 percent of my money back because of these facts.
