Patrick Leary was hired by an associate of my now husband's, and he advised me to waive my preliminary hearing, stating that my codefendant waived his, which I figured out later was horrible advice. I'd heard he was the best. His motivation was money and nothing else. He did, however, get the judge t...

After battling with the "good ole boys club" for over a year, my nephew sat in jail on a non violent charge of "disrupting public service" due to calling the PD too many times for welfare checks on his child. No violence, no fire arms, just a simple charge concocted by the local PD. After being app...

Mr. Patrick Leary is as good as it gets in my honest opinion. He has litigated for me through the years a wide array of criminal cases. Everything from OVI and minor traffic violations too Posession and a serious firearms case. It's more than that though because he's very personal and a family man. H...

Being someone who has never been in trouble with the law I want to first say that Patrick is very thorough in explaining everything that comes with the process. He truly helps you understand how the system works. That's just a minute character trait of Mr. Leary however. He truly cares about you and ...
"Having worked with Mr. Leary on several matters and trying a case together I can truly say he serves his clients well. A combination of knowledge, skill, and experience allows him to represent clients in a manner that delivers results. Any individual in need of representation would be well served to have a conversation with Mr. Leary."
"I first met Patrick when I was a County Prosecutor. He was and continues to be a strong advocate for his clients in and out of the courtroom. It's been a pleasure to work with him and I imagine that his clients feel the same."
"I endorse this lawyer. I was a prosecuting attorney for Cuyahoga County and Patrick Leary was also an assistant prosecutor. His knowledge of criminal law is amazing. I am always happy to see his name as representing a co-defendant on a case. His previous employment as an assistant prosecutor allowed him to learn the system and gave him the knoweledge to win your case."
"This man is tireless. When other Attorneys are ready to call it a day, Pat Leary is still at it, fighting for his clients. I have been a Criminal Lawwyer for over Forty years and know that his best attribute is caring for people in the "period of the unknown". Whether it is your first trip or unfortunately you have been through the system before, Pat will exhaust every avenue. He is a relentless adversary and advocate. I have litigated with him and against him. He is a trusted colleague and I am proud to endoerse him."
