Criminal Defence

Leigh has handled two different felony cases for me. Both cases ended in my favor. She was aggressive and reassuring along the way. Leigh kept me informed of all pertinent information. She allowed me to make well informed decisions. My favorite quote from her was " What are you worried about? That's ...what you pay me for and I'm not worried". I have recommended Leigh friends and family with no regrets. Remember you get what you pay for. Thank You Leigh!

You can trust her to represent you vigorously

I hired Mrs. DeMasi for a criminal case in Dallas County last June. I had used her services before on a criminal case in Denton County. This attorney kept me informed, she returned all of my calls and even called me at times when I had notcalled her. She fought for me on my two cases and relayed my ...positions and defenses to the prosecutors assigned to me case. She did not lie to me about the possible outcomes of my cases in advance in order to get her fees - she was honest with me about the possible outcomes/dispositions of my cases and did not sugat coat anything. On the other hand I was very satisifed with her representation. She knows the law. She is a former prosecutor herself and she knows how the sytem works. Unfortunately Justice is not blind and it costs - you cant be poor and get good representation. You must hire an attoney you can trust. YOu can trust her.

Great legal service!

Leigh represented me and I have referred multiple clients to her because of her responsive service. She really cares about her clients and puts forth the extra effort to represent you in the best light. She's very trustworthy and knows the system well since she was a prosecutor for many years as well.... I'd trust her with any legal matter!
