This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

W. Blake Edwards

I set up an appointment with Leigh to help me on a custody case. She took the time to answer all my questions. She even went into great detail of what chances we have to win versus what we most likely wouldn't receive. I feel very confident that Leigh took this case with the best intent to help me a...nd my son. I would highly recommend.

More than just a divorce attorney

Getting my divorce was one of the loneliest and most difficult periods of my life. Having Leigh as my attorney was the saving grace. With her knowledge, her compassion, and her commitment to me as a client, I was able to go through the process and start my life over. Leigh also has an amazing way ...to help you understand that you are strong and able to not only get through any experience but to find joy and happiness again. Thank you Leigh for being there for me.

Highly Effective and Exceptionally Professional.

Leigh Daniel and her staff were amazing to work with and kept me informed throughout the process. They were caring and compassionate which was a huge help during one of the most difficult times of my life. Ms. Daniel is extraordinary in her negotiating skills and was able to win a very satisfying set...tlement. She worked hard for me, was tough when needed but maintained a high level of integrity which kept things dignified. I highly recommend this attorney. She and her staff work so hard to bring forth satisfying results.

Knowledgeable and caring

I consulted with Leigh for my divorce early last year. She was extremely knowledgeable and intuitive. She also had a lot of understanding regarding narcissistic abuse in relationships and was able to quickly assist me in getting the divorce finalized in a much shorter time than I had expected. ...Ms. Daniel is not only skilled in what she does, she also is a person who truly cares about each and every client and works as hard for them as she would for her own family.

Professional, skilled and compassionate legal counsel

Attorney Leigh Daniels is not only proficient in her knowledge of the law and legal strategy, but she also genially cares about her clients and the aspect of their lives that their case involves. She was very professional but also treated you as a human and looked at the totality of circumstances in...volved in your case to determine the best outcome to help navigate you through the process of what was a very emotional traumatic process especially where children are involved. She was straight forward and realistic with regard to expectations. She was one of the few lawyers I’ve dealt with that took on her role of representation out of a passion for advocacy and not simply a pay day. You won’t regret hiring her and getting genuine professional legal counsel skilled in the law without all the BS. She’s had actual experiences in life that make her a better lawyer than those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and have no earthly idea what it’s like to experience the difficulty and pains that come in life. Highly recommended.

I appreciate this review so much. Helping clients with complex issues and abusive narcissistic spouses and partners has become a passion of mine. It takes much more than legal expertise to navigate when personalities of that nature are involved.

Experience

Rating:  10.0 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Reprimand issued in AL, 2006

updated on 03/02/2017

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the State did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Angela’s comment:

“The reprimand was due, in large part, to my marketing efforts at the time. I cooperated with the bar in taking steps to tighten up my marketing efforts and in doing so was given the opportunity to work directly with the Alabama State Bar to review procedures in my office to insure I delivered consistently. The domestic area of law is one that lends itself to high emotion and upset but working with the professionals at the bar gave me knowledge that greatly has enhanced my practice.”
