Caring

I am so thankful for Attorney Leech, in dealing with a fraudulent dealership. He made this tolerable and what I appreciate the most is that in every step of this process. I was involved he explained everything and was always there to answer my many questions. There was not one moment in this process... that I did not know what was going on. He showed my husband with limited english his concern in making sure he understood. He is an awesome lawyer, a people person and a very caring individual. Because he made us feel that he was concerned at all time about our best interest. Gracias!!

Job Well Done

I purchased a used vehicle (2014) in September, 2016 from a dealership which sells the same brand vehicle as I had purchased. A week later I was told by a different dealership that the car had been in an accident and was worth considerably less than I had paid a week earlier, a fact I had not been t...old by the original dealership. Online I was fortunate to find the Consumer and Employment Law Center of Wisconsin and to speak with Gordon Leech. After my initial consultation I was sure I had found the correct attorney to handle my case. Gordon guided me through all the steps of the process in an efficient and always professional manner. From the outset Gordon was incredibly up front and honest about his fee schedule and made sure I understood all the various outcomes. I appreciated this immensely as I had never been involved in a lawsuit before. Whenever we spoke, I was impressed with the fact that Gordon always had my best interests in mind, without a doubt. The case was settled in a vey timely fashion out of court and to my advantage I might add. I highly recommend Gordon Leech of the Consumer Employment Law Center of Wisconsin as a very knowledgeable and impeccably honest attorney. Robert

Outstanding attorney

Attorney Leech is honest and I couldn’t have won my case with HoneyCreek Homes (Todd and Kim Prudlow) without him. He is thorough and understands the law completely. Gordon Leech responds quickly to all emails and telephone calls. He makes you feel at ease and explains all of the details of the case.... I was highly satisfied. Thank you again for your service.

Honest and Helpful

My personal injury attorney suggested that I hire Gordon Leech for a completely different matter regarding my past employer and I'm really thankful that I did. While we haven't settled our case yet, I'm extremely confident in Gordon and that he will bring some sort of justice and light to the situati...on. He's definitely reassuring and takes the time to explain things that wouldn't make sense to someone who doesn't know much about this area of law.

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Gordon is an outstanding lawyer and is highly skilled in credit related litigation.

Gordon is a warrior that has spent the time to become among the best of those who fight for consumers in credit related litigation."
