Leah R. Thomas

We can’t thank Leah enough for her intervention in my son’s case. Her and assistant Jada’s experience was evident in understanding of the part his mental condition and substance abuse played in the crime and the outcome. She was always respectful but firm, showed good insight in presenting options, ...always clear and concise. Her experience and good relationship with the court system in Milwaukee County also was a factor in the quick and reasonable resolution we received. Working with the flat fee method was great; we never felt the pressure of being on a “time-clock”, and yet always felt she and Jada were timely and thorough in response.

I have hired a number of very good attorneys in the past for various issues, and I can say with absolute certainty that Leah Thomas is the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with and to represent me. Beginning with our initial meeting, Attorney Thomas was professional, compassionate, ...non-judgmental, honest, well prepared, encouraging, committed and proactive. In addition, it was clearly evident that she had a thorough understanding of the Waukesha County Court System/Procedures, as well as the Judges and District Attorneys with whom we would be working, based on her direct experience. She began by respectfully, openly and actively listening to gain a complete understanding of my case/situation from my perspective. She then explained the legal details and interpretation of my citation as well as my options and the realistic outcome of each. Attorney Thomas shared her specific recommendations and strategy for proactively and effectively representing me and we then collaboratively developed our plan of action. Within four days of our initial meeting, Attorney Thomas had already reached out to the DA in order to influence his decision prior to issuing the formal charge. When the DA rigidly persisted, she validated my frustration and remained realistically encouraging and undeterred. Throughout the entire process, Attorney Thomas was active and engaged on my behalf, always accessible and constantly kept me fully informed. Ultimately, she succeeded in securing the best outcome I had hoped for from the beginning. Specifically, she reduced a criminal charge, which may have included jail time, to a non-criminal traffic violation carrying zero points and only a very modest fine. Attorney Thomas was a pleasure and comfort to work with throughout the entire stressful legal process. I wholeheartedly recommend her with no reservations and will absolutely hire her to represent me or any of my loved ones if ever needed. Finally, her rate is very reasonable and fair.

I hired Leah to be my attorney for my first OWI offense based off a referral from someone else, and it was a fantastic referral. Leah was incredibly professional, engaging and personable when I first met with her about my case, which gave me full confidence that I could trust her to lead me in the ri...ght direction, regardless of outcome. I was, maybe rightfully so, intimidated heading into her office for the first time, as I had never been in this kind of trouble before; but, from the minute we began talking, all intimidation had gone out the door and it was nothing but comfort because she gave off a conversational and friendly persona. Leah made no promises to me about whether she envisioned my case being dropped or not, but she did guarantee that she would gather as much information as possible to give me the best chance of winning my case. She kept me informed throughout the entire process, whether it was minor hearings, new information she had gathered or the next direction she thought we should pursue. There was never a moment of doubt for me that my case was absolutely in the best hands, and that regardless of the outcome it was time/money well invested in hiring Leah. I would highly recommend Leah to anyone who is looking to exhaust all options and know that they are involved every step of the way but the responsibility is taken out of her hands. Working with Leah was a huge burden lifted off my shoulders knowing that she was taking care of everything and working her hardest to get me the best possible result. I would have nothing but good to say about working with Leah for anyone who asked, and she is certainly the one you should be reaching out to if in a similar situation.

Leah kept communication with me through my entire ordeal. There were quite a few curve balls thrown at us during the lead up to my disorderly conduct trial. She made sure to keep me informed, and defended me above and beyond. She made clear the risks and expenses upfront. She answered ALL my calls an...d emails. She made my small case feel like a top priority. It would have been less expensive to pay the fine and get it over it, and she made me aware of that fact. But, she understood my need for justice. My case was dismissed minutes before trial. In my opinion,she is worth every penny!

In 2013, police accused my family member of an offense. The allegations were false and malicious. Although "paying the fines" would have been far less expensive we were not willing to concede. We met with Leah and she gave us an honest (and accurate) forecast of the possible outcomes and fees.... Leah filed several motions on our behalf and made it clear during several hearings that she was prepared to defend our constitutional rights at trial. On the day of trial, the prosecutor dismissed the charges. We appreciate Leah's near immediate communication and her grounded approach.
