Leah fought for me.

I appreciate her direct yet caring approach. I first contacted her a couple months before deciding to formally divorce. Once lies were exposed and facts came forward, it was apparent our 38 yr marriage was over. She knew from our first meeting , but it took time for me to catch up, Leah dove right i...n, handed ne Kleenex and walked me through the painful process with compassion while strongly dealing with an uncooperative "other side." Thank you Leah for your expert guidance during this difficult time. Its been a year since it was finalized and I'm at peace!

A Fierce Advocate

I’m forever grateful to Leah for her deft handling of my divorce. She is exceptionally knowledgeable in her field. My divorce was complex, and she didn’t hesitate to consult experts as needed. She is professional, patient and kind, and was tireless in explaining the process repeatedly to me while to...lerating my ups and downs. She was intent upon getting a fair settlement for me and concerned about custody arrangements and our parenting plan. Leah is conscientious and judicious in billing her time. I knew exactly where my money was going. Hiring Leah was the best decision I could have made while going through this difficult process. I have already referred several people to her, knowing they will get the same high level of care that I received.

Highly Recommended

A friend referred me to Leah for representation during a pending divorce. She proved to be an excellent listener and encouraging voice and always remained my advocate, even at times when I was in my own way. Leah continues to be my first call whenever I'm in need of legal advice or assistance. I gi...ve her my highest recommendation.

Attorney

Leah is a zealous advocate for her clients. She is detail-oriented and always prepared. She works hard to ensure that her clients' best interests are served, whether that is through the negotiation process, or the trial process.

EXCEPTIONAL

Words cannot express how grateful I still am to have had Leah guiding me through the nightmare that is divorce. Her expertise in navigating the process from start to finish, and even beyond, was exceptional. She followed up and followed through no matter how big or small the task and patiently answ...ered any and all of my questions in a way that was relatable and made sense to someone who had no knowledge of this legal process. She will always have my support and be my first recommendation.
