      I hired Jose and his firm to draft a revocable trust. He was able to draft the trust very quickly and for a reasonable fee and also helped me organize my LLCs to work together with my estate plan. I highly recommend Jose and his firm to anyone looking to do their Estate Planning.

      I’ve solicited Mr. Leon’s advice on a number of occasions and have found him to be one of the most knowledgeable and hard working attorneys in the field. He has always been diligent in assisting me or any client I’ve sent his way and I wouldn’t hesitate to continue to do so in the future. For even if Mr. Leon was unable to handle a matter personally, I’m confident he would be able to point me in the direction of someone one who could. Having a trustworthy attorney is an absolute must for any individual, the search should start and end with Mr. Jose Leon, Esq.
