Great communication and patience.

Before I hired Leigh and her firm, I interviewed a couple of other lawyers. Lucky for me that one of my best friends recommended Leigh. She was kind and understanding and helped me understand what I should expect throughout the process. By my own choice, I slowed the divorce down and it took app...rox two years. Leigh's attention to detail and memory of my situation continued to amaze me. Through the entire process, I was aware and felt prepared to make decisions before they came up. Lehigh and her entire staff are great communicators. That helped alleviate the stressful situations that inevitably come up during a divorce. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a divorce lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

When I was in search of a divorce attorney, I asked our corporate attorney for a recommendation. He had recently divorced and highly recommend his ex-wife’s attorney. He said she was fair, intelligent and one of the best attorney’s he’s worked with. That’s when I contacted Leigh! She’s also att...entive, professional, and has a way of making you feel completely at ease while discussing sensitive issues. She helped guide me through a very difficult time and I highly recommend her to anyone who may need a family law attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
