One of the best attorney's I know

Ms. Mayersohn assisted me in a matter regarding my son. She did an amazing job in handling the situation before it escalated into a criminal matter. She is trustworthy, skilled, dedicated, knowledgeable and a compassionate attorney. I highly recommend Ms. Mayersohn and her superb staff. She is avail...able at all times no matter the hour.

Phenomenal attorney

There are many Law Firms out there but the question should be is there a Law Firm that would be right for me? The answer lies with The Mayersohn Law Group. When challenges are presented that can define or change someone's life that's where you'll find confidence and trust with this distinguished l...aw group. From a personal experience, I can honestly tell you that at times, I feel like I'm not discussing important matters with an attorney but rather a family member. Leah has always been there for me whenever I needed her assistance and I always would find solace knowing that she is on my side. During my time of adversity, I felt safe knowing that I not only had a competent lawyer on my side but also a person who at times I feel like treats me like a family member. Leah takes each and every matter seriously and with pride. I have witnessed her amazing work since the first day I set foot in her office not knowing what to expect. If there was a weakness in Leah then it would be the fact that she personally cares too much about her client. Leah has a proven phenomenal track record and don't take my word for it but take the first step in setting up a consultation with her and then experience it for yourself.

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.
