Quality attorney that gets the job done

I have used several other lawyers in the past due to ongoing custody issues. Rebecca stands out above the rest; she is very knowledgeable in her field and is up front with what to expect and what options there are. She is extremely professional, responsive and gets the job done. During depositions... and trial, she is thorough and focused. In the courtroom she’s sharp and quick. I have recommended her to other people in the past and will continue to going forward. I trust her and she is worth her price, especially with complicated legal matters. When it comes to family matters, I feel confident with her as my representative.

The Best of the Best

Rebecca knows Family Law backwards and forwards. She is very thorough, very knowledgable, and very business-like. She does not sugarcoat anything; simply states the facts and lets you know what your chances of winning are. She asks the right questions of her clients, and because of her reputation, ma...kes opposing attorneys cower in her presence. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any divorce, child support or child custody disputes. She is truly the best of the best. Hiring her is money well spent.

Exceeded my expectations!

Attorney Rebecca Leonard is very knowledgeable about family law and very competent of her representation of me in court. She has always made sure I am kept updated on the case as soon as there are any changes. She truly has a heart for this field and the clients she is representing and works overtime... ensuring their success.

Interviewed many. Chose her.

Hired her in 2007. She is very professional. If you need your hand held, she's not for you. She knows her stuff, tells you what you need to do, and expects you to do it. She is not completely emotionless. She listened to me cry over the phone more than once. I felt very confident that all I need...ed would taken care of. The opposing attorney, Jack Cochran, said competent attorneys like her made the process much less expensive and painful. I believe her fierceness had a part in eventually moving my spouse and I to effective communication and lasting reconciliation.
