Do not hire this guy!!

He is all about money and will convince you to plea for something that you could do yourself. For some reason he believes that a sovereign citizen exist and will use that term against you. He did not work for me but my son and and I did better than he ever offered. On one occasion for $6000 dollars a...ll he did was stand at the podium and listen to the judge dismiss my sons case! At the next case he threatened my son to take the plea or he would quit and keep the $7500 already paid. Look at his face... He is a scam artist. He is soon to face a lawsuit for fraud!

Best attorney this side of the Mississippi

Bruce Leach is an amazing attorney! I was approved for a loan for my business. I'm just an average guy and wasn't comfortable agreeing to the terms without understanding them fully. Bruce reviewed the documents with his legal eye for any red flags and explained the terms in "regular guy" speak so I f...ully understood what I signing before I moved forward in the process. A request so small might not be worth the time for some lawyers out there but he gladly took on my request and gave me the confidence to make the right decision. From now on any time I need legal advice or representation Bruce Leach will be the first call I make

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly endorse Bruce Leach. Bruce Leach is an incredible lawyer and a great person as well. Bruce recently helped a family member of mine with some complicated matters relating to medical marijuana law, and I am convinced there is no lawyer that knows this area of practice better. As a lawyer myself, it is hard to choose the right lawyer when facing a legal issue. I can say without a doubt Bruce is the best. I will not hesitate to send future clients his way. He works hard and tirelessly for his clients and he gets incredible results. Now that I have personally worked with Bruce when someone in my own family needed help, I also know without a doubt that he is simply the best."
