also known as Tori
I’m Tori! Lion Legal Services is my baby, starting as Leigh Law in a one room walk-up office with little more than a dream and crossed fingers. Our success is a mix of trial and error, sheer grit, and cultivating the right team. Today we are Lion Legal Services – a North Little Rock staple, living our purpose to evolve the way Arkansans feel about lawyers by resolving life’s problems with affordable, transparent, reasonable, no-nonsense legal solutions.
My commitment to reasonableness and practicality is off the charts and my meter for emotions is far below the average human being. I’m the friend that gives smart, realistic advice to actually solve the problem, not just cry about it! My desire to be well-liked is not outweighed by my willingness to defend, persuade, and argue my position, whether in my cases, in business, or my personal life. Opportunity is not given; it’s taken.
I’m a certified mediator and handle many of our mediations, obviously because of my commitment to practicality.
I’m a great trial lawyer and thoroughly enjoy taking cases to court – I thrive on the competition. Winning is my favorite thing, no matter what it is I’m winning! In my ten years as a lawyer, I’ve handled many real estate, business, contract, and other civil transactions and litigation.
Today, all of my time is spent on administration & management of the firm, including client acquisition, billing, HR, that sort of thing. Although, I’m sometimes still brought in to conduct with clients thorough emotion-less cost/benefit analyses of time, money, and stress, compared to likely results of given legal strategies.
Mount Saint Mary, Ball State, and Indiana Universities are my alma maters. My commitment to student organizations was strong in high school – I can’t even remember all of them. I’m a Girl Scout Gold Award Recipient, led a Girl Scout troop for several years in college and law school, took a long break and am back to leading a Girl Scout troop today for my own daughters! You think I’m a good lawyer? You should see me peddle some Cookies.
I was boring, nerdy, and predictable in high school (math parties, anyone?) I bloomed in college, pledging a sorority (Sigma Kappa for life!) and law school was the most fun I’ve ever had – joining, like, no student organizations, drinking a lot, and steadfastly refusing to apply for law review (waaay too much nauseating research of ridiculous & impractical things like “how water law is affected by the rise in popularity of poodle ownership” or other such nonsense). Do not even get me started on the citations! As young as I was in law school, I was lucky in my self-awareness, recognizing the torture of forcing myself into a detailed round box when I’m a big-picture square peg.
I managed to graduate in the top quarter of my class and escape the snow and big city life of Indianapolis to come home where I met and married a Levy boy, who is currently the director of Education at the Civilian Student Training Program on Camp Robinson. My husband is very funny and very laid back. We are literally living the American Dream of a happy, healthy family, seeing a great work ethic and community commitment paying off. I love him more today than the day we married, mostly because he always laughs at my jokes and never makes me do the laundry; and, despite the fact he cried when he found out he was having two daughters. He says a third baby is out of the question because “he doesn’t want a boy bad enough to risk having three girls!”
Today I sit on the Board of Governors of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association, the Board of Rock City Rescue (an animal non-profit), and am a member of the House of Delegates of the Arkansas Bar Association. I’ve completed several Leadership Academies, including the ABA in 2013, ATLA in 2019, and Arkansas Business in 2020.

Highly Recommend
My wife and I highly recommend Tori Leigh and the Lion Legal Team! Tori is knowledgeable, professional, quick to respond and gave us thorough step by step solutions to our concerns surrounding our rental agreements/contracts.

Responsive and kind
It is a true gift to be able to message an attorney, set up a consult, explain things as clearly as you can as a non attorney, and be treated the way Tori treats her clients. I have discussed with other people in my profession, as well as other attorneys, and Tori solved my problem in 40 minutes. S...

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...
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.

Happy with consultation
Victoria completed a phone consultation for us and we appreciated her honesty in informing us that we actually did not require an attorney for our circumstances. I felt that was very ethical of her as some attorneys may have attempted to convince us otherwise.

She helped us set up a Trust. We had no idea this was such complex decision. She helped us tailor our Trust to our needs. You will also need an accountant for all the tax issues. She listened to us and didn't try to force us into something that did not meet our personal needs. All around, it was...
"I endorse this lawyer. She has a great business that allows people of any income level to get the legal help they need."
"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."
