Not a good choice!

He fails to return calls and gets all your information wrong! Wrote down our information atleast 3 times yet final day it was still incorrect. It was a big mistake hiring him. Spend your money on someone that will get the job done!!

Posted by Cody | January 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Stay far away

Do not use this lawyer. Paid money in July for an UNCONTESTED divorce that was just finalized in December. He told me once I paid that he could have divorce final in a week. Any time I tried to contact him he was out of the office or his secretary just took my number down with no return call. He even... mixed up my case with my cousin who had the same last name. Leon is not client friendly. He will tell you your case is being taken care of then you don't hear anything for weeks until you take initiative and hound his office. 2 or 3 times I had to give him all my info again and the terms of the divorce. It seems he lost them as well as our certificates for the parenting class. The final dissolution papers had our address misspelled and my child's name wrong. The spouse and I agreed on everything so he was paid just to file paperwork and that could not even be accomplished in a timely manner or without clerical errors. Divorce was final in December and I'm STILL waiting for him to draw up a quit claim deed and child support arrangements. Luckily my ex and I get along enough to have our own agreement in place until he decides to do his job. On court day he arrived approximately 2 min before the hearing unprepared and yelled for me to come outside like a dog to go over documents which of course had my address wrong. Do yourself a favor and hire someone more competent to complete the task. His only good reviews are from the same day and say the same thing which leads me to believe they are fake. I could go on and on but thinking about this raises my blood pressure and Doc says it's not good for me. Seriously do not hire this guy.

very unreliable

He took my money and made promises that all fell threw, he failed to appear in court on an important custody issue and backed out of my case without warning, further more I paid him the full retainer and even after pursing him diligently I didn't get any of it back. He likes to dictate things and wil...l cost you a lot of money, I regret hiring him and wasting my money..more reputable lawyers in the nearby county. STAY FAR AWAY FROM LEON.

Not Client Friendly

Leon is so full of himself that he will make your choices for you without getting your input or informing you prior to committing you to an obligation. Even though I was present and waiting at the Court Room, Leon made my decision on a different floor and proceeded to go before a Judge with the Plai...ntiff’s Council in a chamber other than where we were scheduled without calling me down and advising me of the options. This behavior got Leon Terminated from my case the next business Day. It has been nearly a month and I have not been refunded any portion of the retainer.
