Best lawyer
Troy and his team are outstanding! He did everything he could for me and I are extremely pleased with the outcome. He was compassionate during my worries and always answered any questions we had. He’s very affordable, hard working and worth every penny. Truly there for his clients. I have used him for custody over my son and to get a ticket off my record. My fiance has used him for 2 major custody battles and a few other things and has done a great job along with his whole team. Everyone is welcoming and truly cares. Cant thank them all enough!!

Great lawyer!! Amazing staff!!
My case was difficult from the start and my ex-husband refused to make any concessions. Troy worked hard to get me a settlement agreement in the middle of trial that I was very happy with.

Troy Leavitt-Best Lawyer in Missouri
One versital attorney... Personable and friendly to clients... But, a rockstar warrior in the arena! I was recommended, by an attorney, who said, he's the only person she'd use. You know he's awesome, when, other lawyers consider him a top pick! I'm a returning client and have recommended him to many friends. All who have were very pleased with their results and now recommend him to others. Opposing party will either, grimace or shutter, when you walk through the door with Mr. Leavitt.

Divorce
Last year my world was shattered when my husband left me. I was a stay at home mom and was terrified what would happen. I had no knowledge of the law or what my options were. Because of Troy my children and I were able to stay in our family home with a roof over our heads despite my husbands persistent attempts to throw my children and I into the streets with nothing. Troy was also very kind to me and my children, not like most rude and cold attorneys. Without his help I would have lost everything including my children. He got me everything I asked for in my divorce. I got a fresh start because of Mr. Leavitt. He's an amazing Attorney !

Will never go anywhere else!
Troy kept my record clean. I had been pulled over by the police. I was charged with a traffic violation and a drug possession. I walked away with no points on my driver's record and a dismissal on the drug charge! Thank you Troy!

Troy is absolutely the best lawyer ever.
Troy is absolutely the best lawyer ever. He is very professional and well worth every penny. This man saved my job and career. I would highly recommend him to anyone for civil or criminal matters.

Troy helped me get my son back.
Troy is a phenomenal lawyer, my case was a child custody case and he went above and beyond to help me get my little boy back. We spent 9 long months battling the paternal side where we dealt with many sideline issues along the way, he kept his cool, he genuinely cared about me getting my son back and he made it happen all the way. I most definitely would use him again for any further court proceedings in the area as well as recommend him to anyone in times of need. He is outstanding !

Troy Leavitt is a very fine lawyer. In addition to being skilled, intelligent, and personable, he is experienced and well connected. He actually cares about his clients and will go the extra mile to be sure you are completely satisfied with his legal representation.

He will answer your phone call or will return it promptly. He makes sure you understand the charges against you and advises the best course of action. You can trust Troy. He is not just a terrific lawyer, but a terrific individual. I will certainly use him again if I need services of an attorney.

Troy knows the law!
Troy was able to win my ex parte hearing against my ex-husband and right after the hearing he met me at the police department and helped me file a police report to have charges filed against my ex for violating the order. Troy went above and beyond for me. I would recommend Troy to anyone.

Troy did a great job for me
Troy was able to have my domestic assault charge dismissed. Troy was great to with and kept me informed. Facing charges is stressful. Troy helped me throughout the process. I am very happy with the results.

Troy Leavitt review
Troy takes care of my traffic tickets for me and my family. I have unfortunately had problems with speeding and traffic violations in the past. I have worked with many lawyers in the past, and he is by far the most reasonably priced and efficient attorney I have used. I wish I wouldn't have ever worked with any other attorney. He has been so great. I can't even stress how much I appreciate his services. Thanks Troy!!!

The Best. Did a great job for me.
I had a drug possession charge and Mr. Leavitt was able to have my charge reduced to a littering charge. Troy always kept me updated and his staff is helpful and easy to talk to.
Posted by Mark | September 4, 2014
Would recommend to anyone. Troy helped me through a really rough time.
I was facing my first ever criminal charge. Troy took the time to explain the process to me and tried to calm me as much as possible. Being a domestic violence charge a conviction would have cost me my job. Troy was able to get the charge dismissed. Thank you Troy.

Wonderful attorney that worked hard for me
Troy saved me from doing a lot of jail time. The prosecutor wanted 7 years and was not budging. Troy worked hard for me and finally before trial he was able to get me a 3 year probation without. I have been in trouble several times before and Troy took the time to talk to me and made me feel as comfortable as I could under the circumstances.

"I attended a Standardized Field Sobriety Test practitioner course with Troy. He knows what he's doing with DUI/DWI cases. This is who you want representing you if you've been arrested for DUI/DWI. Very few attorneys have been through the SFST practitioner class, and Troy is one of them."
