Highly recommend

Malik was recommended to me by a friend to help me navigate my divorce, and I’m so thankful. Malik spent extra time with me on the phone to explain all the options and details. The path he recommended was seamless and ended with everything working out as desired. He handled all the paperwork processi...ng and follow-up and was incredibly communicative throughout the process.

Strongly recommend

Malik Leigh is a very passionate attorney. Mr. Leigh went above and beyond for my son. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and brutally honest with his clients. When other attorneys were telling me that they can't do anything for me Mr. Leigh was able to find a way. Malik Leigh is not only a go...od attorney he is a great man with solid morals. I cannot say enough about the respect I have for this man and his service to my family. If you need results this is your guy.

Finally Someone Fought for us!!

My wife and I have been fighting for visitation for my 5 year old son from someone else, For some odd Reason (so we though at the time) she would not allow the "father" to be in this child's life. For the first time, Malik Leigh got my story out there in front of the judge and taken care of. ...If you are just starting your Child Custody agreement or if you’re feeling beaten and you’re ready to give up, you need to hire this guy. Having already experienced several attorneys who tell you what you want to hear, yet ultimately do nothing for you—except take your money, we gave Malik a try. He has been an honest open real human being who genuinely cares. Rather than someone who just wants to collect our money. He fought for us endlessly to find out if my son was even mine or not, and went out of his way to get proper information and paperwork for our case and well as termination. After a tough fight- The Truth was finally revealed and everyone's stress and problems were put to rest. Thank You so much Malik for helping Me and my wife open a new chapter to life. Without you, I would have never known! The only thing I REGRET is not hiring you SOONER!!

Shared time sharing issues.

Malik Leigh was an excellent choice for having him represent me. He helped my achieve all that I was asking for, which was a huge benefit to my son. I have shared custody and with his help my son is now able to take the medication he needs so he can thrive to his potential. Malik also was able to ...get the back child support that was owed. Even though my case has a ruling, he still keeps in contact to make sure everything is going good and still on track. I would most definitely recommend him for services.

Great service and excellent personality! He is easy to communicate with ...thanks a lot!

This man is what you would refer to as an outstanding attorney!!! He is not in it for money, but he loves helping people and knows the law. He is always willing to answer your questions and is very professional and exceptional. Awesome is not good enough, but he certainly cares and goes well above an...d beyond the call of duty to give exceptional service! He is the best of the best!!
