LEANNE COOPER IS A BULLDOG

LeAnne knows her stuff & it shows where it's most important, THE COURT ROOM! She's confident, SMART, compassionate & witty! When I came to LeAnne, I was in a very dark place & barley hanging on. She didn't just help w/my legal issues, she also poured her heart in my case & gave me strength when I nee...ded it most (I'm tearing up just thinking about it). My divorced was nasty (a 1 of a kind!) & it was a nightmare! She was passionate about fighting for my children's best interest. She's realistic & honest & she doesn't sugarcoat. I will never be able to express my gratitude for everything she's done for us. Because of her, I'm free & those days are over! She is extremely busy (for a good reason), but LeAnne handles it well. Also she's lil' more expensive than the newer lawyers in HC, but I learned the lesson "you get what you pay for". I made a BIG MISTAKE by using a different attorney for another legal matter w/my ex because his prices were lower. It ended up costing more in the long run, caused more heartache for my children & a big mess that she's now cleaning it up. LEANNE COOPER IS A BULLDOG (just ask my ex) & SHE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! Thank you for everything, LeAnne P Cooper!!

Step Children Adoption

I have worked with a few different attorneys for my divorce, and my husband's custody case in CA in the recent past. I quickly learned from my experience with our attorney in CA how an attorney can attain financial success. My husband's custody case in CA took 18 months total, and once complete cos...t us $60k in attorney's fees. Our attorney sent us itemized bills each month, listing 10-minute 'thoughts' on the case...no joke. Every time our attorney thought about our case, or had a 5 minute conversation with her paralegal about our case, we were charged. After that experience I assumed that was common practice. That was absolutely NOT the case with LeAnne. She was amazing from the beginning. I met with LeAnne several times, and she answered all my questions, alleviated my concerns, provided me with knowledge about the system that gave me confidence in my course of action...all without rushing me, or charging me for every little question, phone call, etc. My adoption took one year from the time we paid LeAnne. During that time LeAnne and her staff were very responsive, communicative and helpful in moving my case along, even though the system seemed to desparately wanted to slow my case down. LeAnne brought passion, concern, and care to my case, as well as expertise and confidence, providing reassurance to me in my fight, even while the adoption was being contested. This attitude and client relationsip was completely different than my previous experiences. LeAnne absolutely will fight for her clients (extremely important in our case...our attorney in CA portrayed herself as a fighter until it came down to actually fighting...she was more concerned with her reputation in that particular county and did not want to put herself out there in the way we needed her to. We were our own supporters and fighters in our case in CA, and our attorney there was a reluctant participant). I absolutely recommend LeAnne, to the point I wish she was available to help friends with issues in other states. I will use LeAnne for any future legal needs or issues that may occur.

Excellent Choice!!

Going thru a divorce and child custody fight was the hardest thing I have ever done. LeAnne was there with me every step of the way. She let me know what to expect and was very professional in dealing with my case. When we went to court I saw first hand that I had made the right choice. She was p...repared and ready to fight for me. She was tough as nails. I was glad to have LeAnne in my corner. She presented my case in a strong compelling manner and I have no doubt that she is a big reason why I won primary custody of my children. I would not hesitate at all in recommending her.

Child Custody and Support

LeAnne is very professional, knowledgable, and courteous. She was very prompt at keeping me informed and answering any questions or concerns I had during the case. She went above and beyond to help me with a difficult situation. She did a great job, and her efforts were successful in helping me ga...in custody of my kids.

You Can't Go Wrong!

I paid a substantial retainer fee for an attorney when I initially filed for divorce. That retainer fee had quickly dissolved in a matter of a couple of months. Unfortunately, very little had been accomplished, and I felt disconnected with my attorney. That is when I decided a change was needed,... and I hired Ms. LeAnne Cooper. I found Ms. Cooper to be empathetic with my situation. She listened to what I had to say. She understood all of my concerns: child custodial arrangements, property division, retirement, and the biggest of all … the financial windfall that follows divorce. Ms. Cooper was upfront and easy to communicate with regarding all of my concerns. I felt comfortable with her in my corner. When my divorce was settled, I felt that I had truly been represented in a professional and accommodating manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Cooper to anyone going through a divorce as their legal counsel. Chip (Last name removed)

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"LeAnne, along with another lawyer, provided me with my first opportunity as a lawyer out of law school. I learned, in a short time, everything there is to know about a domestic law practice. She is a kind and caring person when dealing with clients and absolutely resolute advocate in the courtroom. She has high expectations of herself and her staff and I would recommend her for any possible domestic issue that you might face."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Mar 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have handled numerous cases during the past 15 years with LeAnne as opposing counsel, and she has also worked with me as co-counsel on at least one matter. LeAnne always represented her clients zealously. She takes the time to develop a thorough understanding of the issues and facts related to her clients' cases. This might seem to be a "given" when you hire any attorney, but I can assure you that it is not. I must say that what most impresses me about LeAnne is her confidence in the courtroom and her thorough knowledge of the law. I endorse LeAnne for any family law matter."
