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.

Top Notch and Level Headed

I came to Leigh at a time in my life when the rug was pulled out from under me, and I was in a state of confusion and fear about my family’s future. From the first consultation, I knew she was focused on the right aspects of my divorce, and I could see that her advice was the perfect merger of legal ...interpretation, practicality, and fairness. Divorce is a miserable process by any standard, but Leigh made me feel completely protected both in her words and her actions.

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.

Recommendation of Leigh Cummings

Leigh represented me in my divorce case which was finalized in early 2015. I was somewhat clueless going into the divorce process and got referred to Leigh by an acquaintance that spoke highly of her. I basically 'cold called' her to set up an appointment to meet her & discuss my situation. It was a ...great move on my part. From the outset, I felt completely comfortable w/ her & her way of doing things; this was very important me as I was going into a process where I was extremely uncomfortable. She & her staff were professional, responsive, competent and really provided mental comfort throughout the process. While protecting my interests, she worked well w/ my ex-wife's attorney allowing us to come to a conclusion that I thought was fair for both parties. To me, that's what I wanted and she did a fantastic job at what I considered to be a very fair cost. My experience w/ Leigh was great & I would highly recommend her to anyone.
