Fantastic Attorney and Person!

Leanne helped me resolve a debt collection matter. She was very professional, knowledgeable and looks out for her client’s best interest. I highly recommended Leanne Perez for legal representation in your debt collection matters.

Don't waste your money!!!

I never ever write reviews, but I am taking my time to do this because I now know the importance of reading reviews and informing myself before hiring an attorney. Sadly I didn't, I was desperate for help and she was desperate to take my money, im not really going to bore you with details about my ca...se but I am hoping you find a couple of these following details helpful, this lady not only took over $2,000 from me, she was never on my side, never gave me an advise NEVER, could never talk on the phone ONLY emails, I hired her almost a year ago, last month she took MORE MONEY from me, today after noticing my case was tooo complicated for her and since I didn't accept the offer from the state attorney she decided to EMAIL me to let me know she could not longer represent me due to "health issues" we all know that is a lie. $2,550 later I am sitting here wondering why I never looked at reviews before. Now I am looking for another attorney and hoping not to be disappointed again. Oh and by the way the ONLY suggestion she ever gave me was to agree on monthly payments that were TRIPLE of my monthly income!!!

Thank you for submitting your comments. It helps to have constructive criticism to ensure I am doing my job well. I believe it is important to point to certain inaccuracies in this client's review. Any delays that occurred in this client's case were due solely because certain documentation was not provided in a timely manner by the client. Because the case depended entirely on substantiating the client's income, the burden was on the client to provide the requested financial documents within a certain deadline. I always notified the client long before the deadline of what was being requested and several times, however, the client would ignore the deadlines and instead, would show up the day of his hearing with a huge stack of documents to be sorted and reviewed. This caused his case to be delayed and hearings to be continued several times. Every time a new hearing was scheduled that I had to attend, I had to charge for my time. I charge a flat rate so if the hearing would take more than the usual hour, I did not charge the client additional fees. For a case that was not resolved for more than a year because of delays caused by the client, my fee is more than fair and reasonable. Had I charged on an hourly basis the fee would have been much higher. A similar case would have taken half of the time and cost half of the price. Additionally, at no time did I ever suggest the client agree to an offer that he did not agree to. One of my roles as an attorney is to explain to a client what their legal options are and the legal ramifications of each option. I am always available to provide guidance and feedback but the client has the ultimate decision. I do apologize if you did not get what you expected, but I try to do my best. Best wishes, Leanne Perez

Information is her middle name

I looked around for attorneys to help me, some refused to answer questions until I paid a retainer. Some treated me condescendingly. Answers never came. One phone call to Ms. Perez and she told me everything I needed to know and more. She took care of my issue, did it expeditiously and I can not be... a more satisfied customer. I will recommend her to anyone seeking her advise.

Attorney Pérez: Efficient and professional.

Attorney Pérez is the best. She is extremely efficient, professional, and her broad knowledge of the legal system is uncommon. She will work diligently and meticulously in every single case, paying special attention to the necessities of each client and case. I admire Leanne's professionalism. MS. M...iami
