Martin H. Leaf's Lawyer Endorsements
"I give Martin my highest endorsement. As an assistant prosecuting attorney I tried a homicide trial where Martin represented the defendant and, subsequently, we have worked on criminal appeals and civil litigation as co-counsel. Martin is exceptionally knowledgeable of criminal law, evidence and trial tactics. He is very professional and is committed to the pursuit of justice on behalf of his clients. I’ve worked with him on briefs and observed him address the court in oral argument. His legal reasoning and analysis of issues is excellent and clearly articulated."
"I endorse this lawyer, whom I've known professionally for over twenty years, in all areas of criminal law, including appellate work, and in various other matters of the general practice of law. Mr. Leaf has the ability to effectively deal with the basic issues, getting to the heart of a matter quickly, so as to keep a jurist's attention, while also raising and arguing often-unique parts of a case that other attorneys would not notice. He is capable of handling complex matters as he lends the same incisive reasoning to them, just as he does the more routine cases. I, also, do not feel he would be limited to criminal matters, only, as he seems to have the focus and concentration to understand many areas of the law and would effectively handle them. He also often co-counsel's with attorneys in this regard.."

His skillset in criminal defense is also superlative and goes hand in hand with his appellate and expungement practice. If you need any kind of appeal, Martin Leaf is your man!"
