The best!

I found her on the internet after trying for a year to get the firm I was with to do a divorce for me. I was nervous at first since I found her online and with the covid pandemic going on minimal in person contact but it was the best decision I have ever made!. If you are looking for a divorce lawyer... you will find the best with Leanne Perez! From the start she was quick and professional, knew what needed to be done and was on top of everything. Kept me updated and was considerate of my situation. She made sure I knew what to expect at the final judgment and had everything ready in the case for the judge to make a quick decision. I am forever grateful to her for help and thankful to have found someone who truly cares for her client and for justice.

Excellent Lawyer!

Leanne handled my divorce effectively and efficiently. She starting working on the paperwork immediately, answered all my questions (and trust me I had plenty!) and expedited what could have been a long drawn out process. Leanne made a difficult situation, manageable. Divorced start to finish in unde...r 90 days! I would definitely recommend her because of her expertise and professionalism.

Highly recommend!!

I cannot recommend Ms. Perez enough. She represented me through a very difficult period in my life - through a divorce and then bankruptcy. She always kept me informed of everything going on in my cases and I never felt like a number. She is very hands-on and made sure all my questions were answered.... She truly cares and I appreciated that.

Amazing Lawyer - Divorce

Mrs. Perez represented me in my divorce proceedings. She was amazing, very professional, committed and affordable. For over a year, Mrs. Perez answered to my questions or concerns, no matter what time of the day or what day of the week, within a few hours. I highly and without any hesitation recomm...end Mrs. Perez.

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
