Review for Paul R. Leake, attorney-at-law

My sister and I love Mr. Leake. He has done a great job for us, and is still working toward an end to this family mess. He allowed us to join him and his clients as plaintiffs, at the last minute, before the trial, essentially, CHANGING SIDES, that the defendants did not want brought out in court. ... If he had not, we would not have had any representation, and would have been left on our own. Because we were considered "pro se" before we hired him, we learned more about the actual problems and reasons for the suit than our siblings had ever told us, and how they conspired to leave us out of the total assets, as per stated by the will of our step-father. Mr. Leake is still working with us, and trying to obtain what the jury and Appeals Court awarded to us and the other plaintiffs. Even though we do not live close to him, he would be our choice over any other attorney for all legal matters.

Probate & Litigation

My mother passed last year (three months after my dad) - Paul Leake was helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I live out of state and not only had to probate my mother's estate - but also complete my dad's estate as sub-executor. In addition, my mother had pending litigation with a distant "fam...ily member" that required Mr. Leake's guidance and expertise to settle in a favorable manner for us. I would recommend this attorney to anyone in need of a simple or complex probate - and certainly if any litigation is a possibility.

Paul R. Leake

Paul and his staff were very professional and very helpful. I contacted Paul after locating him on the internet. It was a relief to find an attorney who took the time to fully understand my legal status. I would highly recommend Paul for an legal work.

Satisfied Probate Client

Our experience with Leake & Blair was outstanding. They were personable, professional, and made our experience of drafting wills and medical power of attorneys as simple as could be. My wife and I had put this very important legal necessity off far too long and after working with Leake & Blair I re...ally questioned myself for the procrastination. If you are doing the same I can't encourage you enough to draft your will and you will find that working with Leake & Blair will make this important life endeavor very simple.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known him for almost 35 years and have referred many of my family members, friends and clients to him. I have complete confidence in his legal knowledge and trial skills. I first saw him in a jury trial in the early 1980's and even then he had that something special ability to persuade a jury to see it his way. He's the lawyer I would call first on a legal matter. If he cannot help you in that area of law, he will know who you should call."
