Great upfront Lawyer

Steve was very professional and very knowledgeable on the law and helped me through my divorce. He has a very good plan of attack and helps in any way he can.

Excellent Experience

Working with Steve Leitman was such a positive experience. His professionalism and kind but deliberate approach helped make my divorce a bit less painful. He was an excellent choice for my highly toxic divorce case. He managed to keep our case out of court and help direct things in the direction and ...with the general outcome we were hoping for. He no longer works in litigation cases or I would continue to hire him for my future family law legal needs. Thank you Steve!

One of the Best!

Divorce is never easy and after nearly 25 years of marriage that was coming to an end, I needed sound advice and a friend to help guide me - I got both of these in spades! Stephen's advice was spot on and his guidance through this traumatic event was caring and thoughtful. What I didn't expect was hi...m being like an old friend, soft spoken, trusting and a genuinely great guy! I can't recommend him firm enough.

Excellent Experience During a Difficult Time

I found Steven while doing an internet search for a Collaborative or Uncontested Divorce. From the moment I reached out to him, I knew I was in excellent hands. Steven is responsive, concise, and clear in his explanations of legal matters. I never felt as though I was waiting for long periods of time... for a response or a court date- I felt as though my timeline was Steven's timeline. In addition, Steven has called me to check in, genuinely concerned for the state of the divorce, the safety of my child, and keeping me aware of my legal rights and limitations. I am grateful for his guidance and his services. Steven and his paralegal, Joy, have been a pleasure to work with and together they made a stressful time FAR less stressful. I would recommend (and have already) their services to others.

Outstanding!

Several months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Leitman concerning a prenuptial agreement. He came highly recommended by others so I was excited about meeting him and seeing what his view was on my issue. I was beyond impressed with his professionalism and his knowledge. He made me feel ...100% comfortable with the process and even my husband-to-be felt like Mr. Leitman was a top-notch attorney. He took what could be a very stressful event and made it a positive experience. Both Greg and I couldn't be more happy with the outcome of our prenuptial agreement and the superb service we received. I have already recommended several friends to Mr. Leitman and I will continue to recommend him to anyone I know who is looking for an experienced family law attorney.

"Steve is a gentleman. He and I had a case where we represented different sides. The issue was easily resolved, due to his reasonable approach. With another lawyer on the other side, this could have turned into an unnecessary, expensive fiasco. Instead the matter was resolved exactly as each of our clients wanted it to be, peacefully and efficiently."
