Best Time of My Life!

I turned to the Law Offices of Jeffery Leving and Michael Ochoa after eight years of litigation where my previous attorneys were unable to give me my fathers’ rights that I was so desperately sought. Before hiring Leving and Ochoa, the mother of my children was violating our court orders and agreemen...ts the way I saw it. During this time my ex-wife was not being held accountable for her violations. It seemed like she was getting away with everything. Also, the mother was making false allegations against me about my children, which disrupted my visitation rights with them. In the Summer of 2015 I met with Ochoa and within two months my nightmare was over. Everything was resolved, and I finally got custody. It was incredible with that the Leving Firm did this in 2 months, what others could not do in almost a decade! Mr. Ochoa would always return my calls and was always in communication with me. He was always looking after me. The other attorneys I had were never like this. When you are a client here, they treat you like family.

A true advocate

I hired The Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd. after being smeared by numerous false allegations. Mr. Ochoa was assigned and has been a true advocate to move the case forward to protect the kids from the "Dad is Bad" campaign that my wife is touting. Mr. Ochoa is very experienced and presses fo...rward in a pragmatic and thoughtful way to protect the Father and the kids. Thank you Mr. Ochoa!!

Great Trial Lawyer

Michael is from the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd, and is currently my lawyer in a very complicated battle for this father's parental rights. My case has been ongoing for four years and I've had numerous lawyers. Michael Ochoa is by far the most knowledgeable, competent, and professional coun...sel I've had the pleasure of being by my side every step of the way. For anyone involved with a difficult child custody dispute on multiple levels, I highly recommend Michael Ochoa as an upmost, honest attorney. We just won at a trial, and am very pleased with his performance!
