I highly recommend

When my insurance company did not want to pay our claim for hurricane damage, I hired Leonard to handle my case. He was informative and always followed up quickly with my calls and questions. After a few months of negotiations, Leonard help us settle our case. We were happy to close this out and move... forward. Thanks Leonard.

Insurance claim denied

Mr. Desire helped my wife and I with a claim that was denied by my home owners Insurance company. The last storm we had my roof and some areas of my home suffered lots of damage, I had to replace the roof costing a lot of money. I hired Mr. Desire and he was able to have the insurance company come ...to an agreement and pay a conciderable amount of money. We recommend Mr. Desire very highly, very professional, easy to talk to, and a person that cares for your case and gets results.

Totally Satisfied Client

Mr. Leonard Desir defended me against my Insurance Company who after many years of being their client did not want to fairly compensate for damages done to my roof and other places of my home during a hail storm. Mr. Leonard was very thorough explaining each step of the process and making certain... that I understood clearly. His patience is exceptional. It was much appreciated. He was excellent in preparing me for the deposition and throughout it, it was punctuated by his assuring calm demeanor. This enabled me to navigate through this successfully without the fear that usually accompanies unfamiliar territories. His youthful appearance heavily cloaks his knowledge and the quiet storm that he is in enforcing the legal arm of the law and guaranteeing that his client is justly defended. He has the remarkable knack – specialty - of ensuring that every encounter with him whether in person, via phone, email or text that you walk away with the sense that you are his “Only Client”. This is a rarity and a diamond in the ruff in his field. .Mr. Desir is not a deserter but knows how to start and most importantly close the deal and be there for you to the end, to ensure total satisfaction. You will never regret hiring him as your Attorney!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am an appellate attorney, and recently had the opportunity to work with Leonard Desir on a first party property damage case, after being retained to assist with trial preparation. In working on this case, I reviewed all of Mr. Desir's legal work, including his written filings with the court and deposition transcripts. His work was very impressive. After I was retained, Mr. Desir's legal skills continued to impress me, and I also found him to be ethical, considerate, and an excellent communicator. Mr. Desir ended up settling the case for a full recovery too. Based on my experience with and observation of Mr. Desir's work, I highly recommend him."

"Lenny Desir is a tenacious attorney who I have personally observed go to bat for his clients time and time again. He is exceptional at getting insurance companies who deny or underpay claims to pay his top dollar and pay his attorney fees as well because they do not want to face him at trial."
