A Keen Eye For Details

I hired Counselor Inns to defend me against a specious and malicious; Stalking/No Contact order. After assessing the information and police reports, she was ready for court in a very short, tight time frame. Her preparation was thorough and her courtroom skills were very effective, as the temporary o...rder was vacated, and the attempt to obtain a permanant order was denied. I would gladly use her again in the future.

Client Review

Laura B. Inns with the Law Offices of Jeffery Leving made me feel protected. My last " attorney" took my money and turned out not to a valid law license. I only found out because I had a consultation with Jeffery Leving's office. I had no idea something like this could happen, but I'm glad I was able... to work with Laura because she got my case back on track. My case was very difficult because my ex husband refused to cooperate with the legal process of getting a divorce. He caused so many delays, but Laura never gave up. She kept pushing, and eventually we were able to settle my case. She works very hard to get things done. I truly admire her for being so professional and stern. Thank you So Much!

A Lawyer on the strong side of Justice and Father's Rights.

Laura has worked with me on a very unique and difficult case. From Day one that she was on my case she seemed to understand the intricacies of the assistance that I needed. And every day since she continues to be able to pull specific details of my case almost out of thin air. She constantly provid...es me with feedback and information and is not afraid to let me know if I did something wrong as she is dedicated to making sure I get what I want and deserve. I cannot even begin to address the unique touches that she used and information she researched for my case in particular. Most importantly however as this was a custody issue, I know firmly in my heart that above all Laura was as strong advocate for my children as well as me. Throughout my case I can feel the passion with which Laura was giving to insuring that the issues would be resolved

OUTSTANDING!

I contacted the law firm of Jeffrey Levin desperate and overwhelmed dealing with the courts regarding my daughter having visitation with her father. I represented myself initially and soon realized I was way in over my head. From the first day I met Laura she was knowledgeable, and professional. I wa...s a mess emotionally, but laura was always very upfront and honest with me while being empathetic and supportive. She kept in constant contact with me by phone and email and always took time to answer any questions I had. Laura's hard work, and diligience gave me the peace of mind I needed to hold it together during this very difficult process. Not only is she an incredible attorney but she made me feel supported and not just another case. She picked up on the distress I was in and and asked if it was alright for her to reached out to a therapist on my behalf. She did what she said she would, when she said she would and I received a call from the therapist the same day. I had lost so much respect and trust for lawyers and the legal system but working with laura and the team at jeffrey levin has restored my faith in the legal system and humanity.
