Best attorney

I hired his office to represent me in an accident case some time back. He was recommended to me by a friend. They were very accommodating & made sure that I understood the procedure. The office atmosphere was very warm & his office staff were very knowledgeable. I had a great experience. I went back ...to have them handle my traffic tickets. I will continue to have him represent me should the time arise. I have also recommended him to friends, family & strangers alike & will continue to do so. As my grandfather always said "If you do good work people will tell others who need you about you. If you do bad work then EVERYBODY will hear about you.". He & his staff are great!!!!!

Always there for me

David Leon has always been there for me; both in business and personal, even when I simply needed some advice, or the handling of selling a business. He will always be my first and only call!

An attorney you can actually talk to

David Leon has been my attorney for over 10 years. I first met David in 1998 when I was forming my first company. At the time I was very young and David provided me the knowledge and expertise that I was seeking. Since then, I have started several other businesses and would not be as successful as... I am today without the guidance of David.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
