This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

we recommend Leone

It was a blessing to work with Leone. Indeed, knowledgeable and always made us feel important. Leone was always available when we needed him, and his staff showed us compassion and respect throughout my daughter's case. No one wants to need a defense attorney in their life, but if such a need arises,... we recommend Leone.

Really a big help!

I needed help with some legal issues. Andrew was recommended to me by a friend, and I hired him to represent me. He did what he promised and got me cleared of the offense. If you need help call him.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr Leone is fantastic.

I was falsely accused of a Major 11 Felony. My first attorney told me that my case was hopeless and I should just accept my terrible path. I almost lost hope not until I met Mr Leone- all he did is to work on process and have progress. During my trial, he made sure I was heard, allowed me to share th...e truth, held the police accountable for their lies with direct evidence, and EVERYTHING he knew that would help me. Because of him, I received a NOT GUILTY verdict. You know how grateful I am to you, Mr Leone!! I would recommend him to anyone. He's an attorney you can trust to care and fight for you.

Thank God I found this firm!

Attorney Andrew and his team helped me get my life back. I know, it is hard to find an attorney you can trust. However, I can freely say that Attorney Andrew was not only my attorney but he was my friend throughout these uncertain times. I 100% recommend it!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
