This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Definitely railroaded my cousin

She was hired to represent my cousin only to have him convinced for a life sentence. Honestly we all thought she didn't believe in him during the case in the first place which is why if so she shouldn't have represented him.

Caught between a rock and a hard place

We were referred to Ms Lynch when our son was in a hard spot. Ms Lynch met with us and gave us her honest opinion. That’s what we were looking for, not someone to candy coat things. She got to work for us and got results that we prayed for. She’s very thorough, hard working and honest. In hopes we do...n’t need her again but if we do we’ll call her in a heartbeat.

LeeAnne Lynch Helped Me in a Pinch!

While I was in a state of panic over potentially going to jail, LeeAnne Lynch dropped what she was doing in order to see my case and walk me through my options. She was an incredibly insightful and calming presence throughout the process, and even managed to handle my case without me needing to spend... time behind bars. I truly don't believe I would have come out of my situation unscathed if I had not hired her. I don't plan on getting into any more situations which may necessitate a lawyer, but if I ever do she will be the first person I call !

Case Handled Brilliantly

I was referred to Ms. Lynch by my previous Attorney. This was a Traffic Case. The result was outstanding. Ms. Lynch saw to it that the matter was Handled by Insurance only. It did not become a police Matter and nothing went on my Driving Record. Mrs. Leeanne Lynch is an Outstanding Attorney. I... would recommend her to Anyone seeking assistance!!

Criminal Defense

I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. LeeAnne Lynch. She represented me in a Shoplifting by Theft case in Dekalb County, Georgia. She was amazing and honestly handled my case like no other. She was very organized and responsive. Mrs. Lynch’s personality was extremely inviting. She was easy to talk ...to and very kind. We closed my case within 5 months, which is pretty fast if you’re familiar with the court system. I appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone! She is worth every penny you spend, I promise! Thank You again Mrs. Lynch!
