Awesome Attorney!!!

I wish I can rate LeAnne higher than 5 stars. But LeAnne have been nothing short of amazing when working on my divorce case. She is very smart, organized and pay attention to details to the many stacks of documents sent or receive on my behalf. It may appears sometimes nothing have been done on my ca...se. But when it is all said done when my final hearing came around. She was well prepared and represented me very well. It was like someone released a Tiger in the court room. We all left the court room almost speechless after being overwhelmed with joy from the judge ruling EVERYTHING in my favor. Thanks LeAnne for a job well done!

Step-Child Adoption & Wills

LeAnne handled both issues (listed in the title) with professionalism. She is also very personable as well as approachable. I NEVER had her not return a phone call. She may not have been available at the time of the call, but she always called back. Amanda and Shannon are great too (her staff). ...Sometimes they could answer my questions. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and competent lawyer.

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.

The best!

She handled my VERY difficult, contested divorce. She did an amazing job and became a very dear friend in the process. I wouldn't let anyone else handle my legal work!

Wonderful help in more than one situation

Our family has used LeAnne 3 times now. Everytime has always been a great success and blessing. She is great at what she does and keeps you in the loop all the way through. One of the first lawyers I have ever known to conact me herself more than once. I cannot say enough about the great things she h...as helped me and my family through!!

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."

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."
