This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I like Mayersohn Law

Denise did a fantastic job with my divorce. When I had a concern, she addressed it. When I was wondering what they were doing, they were always beyond what I expected. When I was treating something as major and she thought it was minor, she got me past it. Denise is a strong negotiator and a good lis...tener and got me a settlement I could live with. I generally do not write reviews, but I am so grateful for the job Denise and the staff did for me that I had to. I assume all of the lawyers at Mayersohn are of a similar high quality.

Our experience with Attorney Leah Mayersohn

My son was charged with a felony for a controlled substance. These charges would have wreck havoc on my son's life, job and family. We immediately called Atty Leah Mayersohn. Leah exudes knowledge, compassion, responsiveness, patience and communication. Leah is an expert criminal defense attorney who... will stand up for you to make sure you are protected to the fullest extent possible. Leah brings extraordinary dedication and professionalism to your relationship. Fast forward.....after months of hard work Leah was able to resolve the charges against my son, all charges were dismissed. We can't thank Leah enough for what she accomplished for my son's case. Leah and her firm has earned our most fervent and enthusiatic recommendation.

Top-notch criminal attorney

Leah is one of the best attorneys in the state of Florida, and probably the best criminal attorney in the whole Ft. Lauderdale area. She is incredibly talented and doggeed in her determination to obtain the very best results, oftentimes getting not guilty verdicts following trial.

My go-to for criminal defense in FL

I run a law firm in NC and whenever we have a client charged with a crime in FL, we send them to MLG. They respond faster than other firms I've dealt with, and I've been impressed with the results they've obtained.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
