Leigh Carson

Leigh did a very good job on my domestic matter. She knew the law well and was effective in dealing with the opposing counsel. I enthusiastically recommend her to others with similar issues.

Experienced, Professional, Trustworthy

I was referred to Leigh Joy through a business associate who had previously engaged her services for his divorce. I found her to be very professional, always answered my questions in a timely manner, was easy to get in touch with, and told me the straight scoop regarding what I could expect.... I would recommend her as well as her associates (Pam and Nikki) to anyone needing no nonsense professional divorce representation.

Awesome lawyer

I have been represented by Leigh for my divorce and now mediation. She is an amazing lawyer and person. We have became like family. She pulls no punches. If she needs to say something to me she doesn't sugar coat it. She will step up to the plate for you and you can trust her at all times. If you ret...ain her just remember don't lie or hide anything. She will tell you as it is and do the same! It will benefit you both. I also have four children that love to visit her. But so you know it's not just Leigh. You will also get Pam aka Pammy her office manager. Very sweet lady and such a pleasure to have when you can't get Leigh. My experience has been a good one. I would recommend this firm to anyone. If I could post a picture I would. My 4 kids and Leigh on her scooter. Don't let her scooter fool you she is still a bulldog in the court room. She has a record for me this a big winner. Thanks Carson law firm

she's a shark!

This is my second divorce. I have interviewed 4 attorneys before choosing Leigh to represent me. And boy , was it the right choice!! To tell you the truth, she scared me slightly at first interview, because she wasn't blowing smoke up my ..., like the other 3 attorneys did. She told me what could hap...pen realistically, and i went with my gut instinct. She got me WAY more than I expected! She protected me and treated me very kindly and with alot of empathy! I will absolutely use Leigh Joy Carson's services in the future!
