Outstanding lawyer

I have nothing but positive things to say about Leigha and everyone else I came in contact with at High&YounesLLC. I honestly don't know what I would have done without Leigha. She did such a great job on my custody case. She is professional, hard working, articulate. I really cannot thank her enough... for everything she has done for me I really appreciated what an attentive listener she was and I never felt judged when sensitive material was brought to the table in my long drawn out custody case. Ms Wichelt worked with me every step of the way and I felt as though she respected and took into consideration my feelings, thoughts and opinions. She always gave great legal advice and I commended her for being reasonable and realistic about potential outcomes. As one can imagine in certain cases, such as a custody case or divorce, emotions can become heightened and she was always a sound voice of reason yet remained focused on the goal. She was always a perfect balance of professional and also very approachable. She always got back to me in a timely manner which was important to me. Leigha exceeded my needs as an attorney and I'm very grateful to her for that. I would, and have, highly recomended her and her team for any of your legal needs.

Excellent representation!

I have been working with Leigha for approximately one year with some issues pertaining to my divorce. She is knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and responsive. She has negotiated with opposing counsel on my behalf and has helped me resolve several matters.
