This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He's the best

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. LEKLEM!! I have been fighting a case for over 13 years. During the 13 years, I hired two attorneys to take the case because I knew something wasn't adding up. It was a waste of money. Speaking with Mr. Leklem, I knew immediately I have found an excellent attorney who cares abo...ut the case. He cares about my case, but most of all, he wants to ensure that I understand the process. Out of all the attorneys, I knew Mr. Leklem had my back and would do his best. His law knowledge is superb, which is why I am at ease for the first time in 13 years. The little information that I discovered on Google, I knew that I was taking by Plaintiff, but the law isn't my thing. I didn't have to say anything to Mr. Leklem; he begins to say something that I knew was correct concerning the Florida Statues. As soon as he begins to speak, I hired him on the spot. He is not afraid to challenge the opposing attorneys, and that's what I needed. For the first time in 13 years, I have hope, and I have Mr. Leklem to thank for that. Just from my experience, if you have an attorney that gives you a lot of excuses, give Mr. Leklem a chance to put your mind at ease. He is honest and will tell you the bad or the good. I will forever be grateful to him. He cares about his clients, and he listens. Not just listen, he actively listens and doesn't make you feel less by the questions you asked.
