Ethical, Trust Worthy, Remarkable Character

Mr. Feuer is an exceptional lawyer, I was in a difficult situation and in need of help from an ethical attorney who would actually advocate on my behalf. Choosing the wrong attorney previously was costly in all areas, financially, emotionally, and the experienced diminished my faith in humanity, unt...il Leonard Scott Feuer, Esq. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe this attorney. I will be forever grateful, he’s one of the few honest, descent attorneys in FL. I’ve relocated back to a state where true justice is served, my experience with FL.’s legal system was corrupt at best, with the exception of the incredible lawyer who I was Blessed to find.

DUI Representation

I was recommended by Mr Feuer by an Attorney that I highly respect. I was not disappointed. Despite his hectic schedule, Mr Feuer took the time to fully understand and address my major concerns. He was not only highly competent, but he displayed kindness and empathy for me. Mr Feuer clearly expla...ined the options in my very complex case, and he guided me to making the best decision for me and for my family, which ended up being acceptance of a Plea Deal. Next to my Divorce, the DUI experience was the most traumatic and humbling experience I have ever encountered. It would have been much worse without Mr Feuer. Mr Feuer's fees are extremely reasonable and fair....and he saw me through the entire process without ever asking for additional fees, despite the complications! In the end, Mr Feuer's experience and skills in the courthouse enabled me to be released from probation 4 months early. I'd highly recommend Mr Feuer. He is a man of great skills, integrity, experience, and compassion.

The best experience I could have hoped for, after my DUI arrest

After getting arrested for DUI, I emailed and called nearly every criminal defense attorney in the area (probably around 25 different lawyers). Leonard was the first to call me back (literally minutes after I emailed him, on a weekend). He took the time to personally explain the situation, listen t...o all the details on my case, and overall make me feel more comfortable with exactly how all this works. After finishing our talk, he gave me a quote (which was very reasonable), and I told him I'd call him back. After that I spoke with all the other lawyers I contacted, and was shocked by the difference. The majority quoted 5-10x what Leonard did, and overall acted like they didn't care about me or the case. So I hired Leonard in the end, and couldn't be more happy with the decision. Although my case didn't qualify for the DUI diversion program, he was able to talk with the prosecutor and get the penalties reduced (even though another person, with an identical case that day ended up with much worse). After attending court with him, and getting a sentence less than I was anticipating, I couldn't have been more relieved. After the case was over, I mentioned to him that I might need to travel out of country at sometime during the probation. He explained how that works, and that if I needed his help in front of the judge ever, he'd do it and wouldn't charge me any more. Well that day came, and he kept true to his word. Not only that, but the prosecutor and judge knew him, and it was approved much easier than I could have expected. Overall, it was a relief having him as my attorney. And I can say with 100% confidence that he is better than any of those attorneys asking for a small fortune. Honestly if you're unsure, just give Leonard a call yourself, and I'm pretty sure you'll see what I mean.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED wish I could go back in time I would have NEVER hired him!!!!!!!

First i thought by doing my research i snagged an awesome lawyer, rated a perfect score and "flawless". Well it was the worst decision i have ever made. Horrible communication, lack of interest in my case and always seemed like he was to good for my case! Never kept in touch with me about anything at... all, i was basically fighting the battle myself. He seemed like he just wanted to get the case over and done with and convinced me to take a discustingly poor plea deal just so it would be over!! Looking back now and seeing the outcome of my case, he screwed everything up for me. What "he got me" was unfair and makes me sick to think without a doubt he could have gotten me a deal that was 100X better and fair...,for example some of his previous cases with WAY MORE serious charges (that make my case look petty!) got off with barely anything! I wish I would have gone with another lawyer...GUYS if you want a lawyer that actually CARES ad SPENDS THE TIME on your case, does it with PRIDE and not DESPISE it. Leonard was supposed to help my life instead, he ruined it. I could have just saved my money because what i got sentenced to with him fighting for me is something i could have gotten out of a Public Defender (Public pretender). He didnt even put up a fight just told me to take the quickest and easiest plea deal. Save your money and your life, im telling you. Go for a lawyer that is not so "popular" and "rated a 10.0" because maybe at least a lawyer less popular will spend the time on you. As if you are a human and not just a number.

The comment above was posted by someone who was likely never my client, but is instead someone just trying to tarnish my name. The person who negatively commented should have the decency to contact me directly. I have never received a complaint from a former client as to my advocacy on the client's behalf or regarding me professionalism, and have NEVER done what the anonymous person alleges.

"I endorse this lawyer. Leonard is a quick study. In this instance, he was more akin to a prosecutor, trying to close down the angles, than a defense attorney. The family issues were sensitive. The extended alternate representation complicated both our tasks. In the end, each side recovered and compromised, justice is served..."

His attention to detail, and knowledge of the most up-to-date case law makes him an excellent choice."

He has a way of spotting issues and creatively advocating for clients in ways that most lawyers would envy. He is deserving of the highest ranking, as I know his clients and colleagues would agree."
