We help good people facing difficult circumstances. Together, my brother and I bring over 30 years of combined experience handling Criminal, Traffic, and Driver’s License matters. Each year, we represent thousands of clients across South Florida, appearing in court almost daily and working closely with Criminal Justice professionals throughout the region. Let our knowledge and experience work for you.
I am a former Florida State Prosecutor in Palm Beach County and now dedicate my practice exclusively to defending the accused in all Criminal, Traffic, and Driver’s License cases. My brother and law partner, Brian Leifert, is also a former Prosecutor who served in Broward County. Since being admitted to practice in 1990—and entering private practice in 1995—I have worked alongside Brian to represent thousands of individuals during their most challenging times.
We offer free consultations on most matters and are committed to helping our clients achieve the best possible outcome under their circumstances.

Way beyond my expectations
Unbelievable professional who knows his stuff and will do anything and everything to provide legal support. Mr. Leifert is honest and upfront and I couldn't ask for a better set of attorneys for all legal matters. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone!

Helped me avoid a 5 year suspension
I'm grateful for Mr. Leifert and everyone at the firm. The staff was very friendly, professional and honest. I was set to lose my driver's license for 5 years as a habitual traffic offender but Mr. Leifert helped me avoid that and my license is now valid. I would highly recommend.
