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 fo...r 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!!

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 persiste...nt 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 !

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 !

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jul 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
