Do Not Hire

Leah promises that she will do it all. Then takes your money and does NOTHING. She missed court dates and lied. Family members always sick and in the hospital, lies. Doesn’t file documents, then lies. Run!

Another attorney

I have practiced with Leah for years. She is a wonderful person. She always has her clients best interest at heart. I am proud to refer clients to her and she works hard for everyone I work with her on. You should be happy having her as your counsel.

Leah Austin

I found d Leah who represented me in several child custody cases and other affairs to be extremely pleasant, very forward coming of your out come and has been my lawyer for over 15 years. Also met my kids and took out of her own time, to draw them pictures and make them feel as if she was family. I... would, and will continue to use her if ever needed again.

Evil, liar!!

Leah had 4 family members die in the 8 months she was my attorney. It caused so many problems with my case I had to fire her and get a new one. She never keeps other attorneys in her office long. They all realize what a liar and greedy con artist she is and leave. They are the smart ones. She don’t... ever return calls and can’t ever get paperwork right. She should lose her right to practice. I’ve worked with other lawyers before for other things but she is the kind of person that gives them bad raps! Hire her if you want lose your case.

Worst experience ever!

I retained Leah for my divorce and custody proceedings. Living out of state it was extremely difficult to communicate with her. Several missed calls with excuses of “unexpected deaths”, to unexpected “illness” seemed to be the common responses from her secretary. Every case before the judge was gran...ted to the other party to include custody. Leah is quite convincing and took my money fast but wasn’t worth a quarter of it. Very unfortunate I’m having to retain another attorney that is competent. Please retire and stop stealing people’s hard earned money!
