Alicia Oliver Leonard

I literally had one of the most difficult cases known to family court with a bitter ex that made up lies and dragged me into court yearly for 16years of false allegations and manipulation to the point I almost lost my son. After 2 years of no contact I thankfully found Ali and with a few months I was... able to see my son and a short time later gained full custody. The 16 year nightmare is finally over Thank you Ali from the deepest part of my heart for everything you done Highly recommend x100000000

Ali didn't only fight hard for me, she was always there when I needed her. It was never about the money. She genuinely cared about me. I failed to do my part as a client and I could still count on her. Even though the outcome wasn't in my favor that wasn't her fault. That was mine. She faught hard ...and honest. She was there for me. She did what I wanted. I recommend Ali to everyone. She is amazing.

I had to deal with a situation that existed in both family court as well as criminal court. Right away Ali was both informative and empathetic. As a professional, she knows how the legal system works. Ali spent time 'on the other side' as a prosecutor, which I felt gave her an inside understanding of... not only how the prosecution operates, but of what judges want and look for in a case. Ali informed myself and my wife right away to initiate things like counseling and parenting classes and not to wait for that to be ordered. 1) Because you don't want to get MONTHS into your case and then have the system spring something on you that you could have been doing all that time and 2) It shows that you're pro-active in your case. She never painted a picture of unrealistic expectations and yet, at the same time, she managed to stoke the fires of hope and resolve. The above mentioned advice alone probably shaved 3-4 months off of my family court case. It's little things like that that become big things that Ali has an inside understanding of. As a person, Ali took a personal interest in me and my family. She readily viewed pictures of my kids and even helped my eldest with a few decisions about college. Ali is a genuine person and she really does care. To be frank, the court system is hell. Pick one reason or pick several, it's a sea of hell. Ali acted as a legal compass through it all. I don't give this review with any amount of light heartedness. DCFS came and took my youngest son into state custody for over 1 year. In my heart I truly feel that if it had not been for Ali Leonard, that time would have been excruciatingly longer or worse, they may not have returned him at all. It's via her strength, her knowledge and her determination that I have my son today and my family is whole. Even when my monetary debt reads zero, I will never be able to truly pay her back. Thank you Ali.

I have all good things to say about Attorney Leonard! She's a fantastic lawyer! She's extremely knowledgeable, very personable, she's very well educated and is on top of everything. She answers any questions you have promptly and will definitely find the answer if she doesn't have it. She is very com...passionate and mindful of situations, however she also knows what's right and will stand up for you and represent you to the best of her ability. Ali is a wonderful person and she truly believes in and cares about people, and that is what really stuck out with me. She made a HUGE difference in my situation and I wouldn't want any other lawyer other than her representing me!! A++++++++++++

She was good in the beginning of my case. But after the first 4-5 months things started to go down hill. I asked her to put in an appeal and she didnt, she didnt set a foundation in my case, she put me in a worse spot at the end when I switched attorney's. I would never recommend her to anyone or use... her for any kind of case again. And now shes wanting the rest of the payment of $2000.00 that she didnt even earn. We didnt even get a bill for her in almost a year. Talk about misattorney representation.
