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.

Malik best family attorney

I found Malik from legal aid. And instantly he was very helpful from the beginning I told him my problem and immediately he started getting down to business. From day one of my conversation I never had dought in my mind that he was the one to do what needed to be done. This was a family law case ...and it was based out of Indiana he called found out what needed to be done handled the situation in a timely manor. Mr. Malik kept me informed on what was going on and what to expect and never once did I have ay doughts about the decisions he made for me. He represented me in court with professionalization, receptacle, an was very well prepared for each and every issue that did come up and may have came up. Each time their was a time that we needed to meet he made if convent for both me and him no matter the hour, day or location. I tell everyone about Mr. Malik and I would defiantly recommended him to everyone I meet whom are in need of his specialty. I love him, I have dealt with other attorneys and he is 200% the best.
