Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

I would highly recommend Tori and Lion Legal to those seeking legal help in their areas of practice! I had excellent service and was given great rates, definitely lower than the other firms quoted. Tori was able to resolve my case at the arraignment and work out a dismissal, which was exactly what I ...was hoping for! Communication was easy and she answered my many questions promptly.

Just another waste of breath

In her own words, the legal system let me down. Not only did it let me down, but the ripped fabric between the last words I said during my intake call and where we went were vast and deep. (If I were Victoria, I would have checked for a recording of the call to verify my statements when I brought th...is to her attention, but then again, I’m not an attorney.) I was left with less cash than i started, nothing accomplished and a stop sign at every turn when a family member was literally transferring real property without even so much as a “this is what we are going to do”. Frustrating. Irritating. More professional than the last attorney, but somehow I don’t think these folks need to subsidize their income with a separate line of work….or something.

Reddy Now, (that’s his username) Your dispute is over the disposition of family-owned property, as you mentioned in the review. We understand that a previous attorney did not perform for you, and your complaint to the professional conduct committee did not provide the results you felt you deserved. Those events, especially with family and money involved, leave you in a hurtful place. You came to us with a small budget, having spent most of what you could afford on the previous attorney, and asked us to help resolve the case. You tasked us to reasonably and logically determine your best options to preserve as much as possible of what's left of family assets, and put the matter to bed once and for all. We can do that for you and do it very well, even on a small budget, if we’re allowed to focus on unemotional analysis and decision-making. What we can’t do is repair the emotional harm you’ve experienced, and we can’t force state agencies to take action, even when we agree with you that something should be done. Your feelings about the situation are valid, but to resolve the legal problems we need you to put those feelings on hold, communicate with us about matters that deal with facts and the law, and follow our legal advice.

Posted by anonymous | August 14, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

One of the worst law firms ever

She doesn’t care about what’s best for your child. She Has absolutely no integrity an will lie to you an say whatever she needs to just get your money. Once they have your money she will threaten you every chance to quit if you don’t do what she says instead of explaining options. They never once al...lowed me to see the communication between opposing counsel as if they had something to hide. Filed a motion without my approval making accusations that was one of many reasons causing me to lose the case. Because of her mistakes I lost my case an then after losing my case filed a false collection of 200$ With out even saying I even had a balance. I had paid over 20k for a custody case. I have asked for my file an they have refused to give it to me saying it’s in storage. There is so much more I could say but if this is not enough to warn you then I wish you good luck. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use her or Rebecca or anyone in her law firm. You will be highly disappointed. I have every intentions of filing a complaint to the board an hopefully I can stop her from doing this to anyone else.

1. This is anonymous because none of it is true. You post it on my AVVO account because I'm the one who had to deal with you constantly about paying your bill as agreed. 2. You spent 20k, but only 5k was with our firm. The other 15k was with previous attorneys who fired you as a client for not following legal advice. 3. All motions are approved by clients - either by signature or by email confirmation. You insisted we file it and you regretted it as we advised you would. 4. We allowed you to set up a payment plan on the balance after your final hearing and you refused to pay it after we sent it to you numerous times and you ignored us. 5. Your bill was estimated to be $3000. It was $5000 because you would send 10+ emails a day. 6. Your case has been closed for over 2 years; you're posting this now because we sent your bill to collections. Any reasonable person would admit that we got you the best possible result. You were very happy and surprised with the result Rebecca achieved at trial. You just don't want to pay your attorney's fees.

Supervised Visitation

For almost two years now, I’ve utilized supervised visitation services with Leigh Law on a weekly basis. Despite even dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, Victoria and her team still manage to find a way to get supervisors for visits— and sometimes with little advance notice. In fact, Victoria herself... has supervised visits. She’s responsive to emails and keeps her phone handy, which is very helpful in family law. We had a complex situation, and she worked hard to create many options for solutions. She offers many different rooms at her office for onsite supervised visits with varying levels of supervision, even including offsite visits. She even worked with us on pricing, and she isn't greedy or petty in her billing. I have very high expectations, and some other option would have my business and recommendation if those expectations weren’t being met. I’m not even the kind of person who leaves reviews, and I’m not some random friend, family member, or acquaintance— just a normal customer.

Family lawyer

I have known Miss Leigh for over 20 years. Miss Leigh is my family lawyer but also has consulted on business issues that I have had.When consulting on family issues Miss Leigh puts the concern of all family members first and foremost even in domestic disputes. She is able to break down legal options... into very simple and understandable language. She is also very patient in domestic matters and does not push her clients into making decisions that they may regret later. She offers a flat rate on her fees which makes it very simple to understand what your cost for her services will be. I highly recommend Miss Leigh for family or business matters.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Tori is one of the most knowledgable lawyers I know in the area of protecting clients from unlawful debt collection, which is not an area of practice that I handle very often. When I have a question in this area, I always call her, because she can always answer my questions or point me in the right direction. She runs a busy practice in North Little Rock, but she always makes herself available to those in need, and especially clients. If you're in need of help, especially in Pulaski County courts, let Tori roar to your rescue."
