This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

So grateful for Leigh and her team!

Leigh takes a personal interest in her clients and knows how to get the best possible outcome in any of her cases.  I came to Leigh during one of the darkest times in my life, I had a very difficult and trying divorce/custody case.  I too, was also a very difficult client at times.  Leigh stood by me... no matter what, she never gave up on me or my case, she fought right alongside me and always believed in me. Leigh's strong character, tenacity and commitment to do the right thing gave me the best case scenario. I highly recommend Leigh and her team for any of your legal needs!

Outstanding attorney!

When I first called Touchstone Family Law, I was nervous, anxious, and had a thousand questions. I knew I called the right office after speaking to the receptionist, Erica, who was kind and patient. I met with Leigh Sellers, who I knew after that first meeting, she was going to be my advocate during ...my separation along with guide me in the right direction that would be appropriate for my children and I. She is knowledgeable, efficient, straight-forward, and patiently answered all my questions. Her staff is calm, kind, and patient. When Leigh was not available, her paralegal, Johnnathan, listened to my problems or questions assuring me he would relay my message to Leigh and I would receive a response. I was always informed of the status of my case either through e-mail or a phone call. I never felt "out of the dark" during the entire process. I cannot thank Leigh and the members of her staff enough for taking such good care of me and my case. My children and I are in a better place because of her and Touchstone Family Law.

Best decision I made in a very difficult time.

Leigh put me at ease right from the start. She advised me what to expect and what I needed to do to get a fair settlement. She handled my case respectfully and advocated for me above and beyond the norm. She guided me every step of the way and I knew I was in good hands. This lady is the expert !... Working with Leigh was the best decision I made. She achieved the best possible outcome for me.

Divorce Client

Leigh created a pre-nuptual agreement for me and then executed this pre-nup in the subsequent divorce. She was very thorough and without her assistance, I would have suffered financial consequences. Also, she stood behind me in the divorce to make sure that other issues were handled promptly and prop...erly. She is a good advocate and excellant attorney.

Great experience with Leigh Sellers and her team

Ms. Sellers took on my divorce case after my first attorney did nothing on my file for months and I had to cut ties with him. No complaints though, because Ms. Sellers and her assistant Maria dove right in and gave me top notch representation that ended up getting me a settlement that I was very ha...ppy with. It was especially comforting that during a trying time in my life Ms. Sellers was easy to work with and normally responded to my questions within hours. I have already recommended her to others seeking a divorce in South Carolina.
