Magical attorney who cares

Leigh Ann is an amazing attorney and an even better person. She helped us beat a fraudulent CPS case within a matter of hours. She listens, she cares, she works her magic, and you can trust her! She kept my family together! Hire her and you will love her!

Awesome!!!

Mrs. Schenk was a God send for me in a dark time. My case was not easy and exceptionally complicated at times. She was very patient with me and my case through a very long process, but fought for me every step of the way. In the end she helped me win custody of my 3 year old daughter, and in the stat...e of Texas that isn’t common! I’m grateful for everything she has done for my little girl and I!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Just doing my job helping one more daddy get primary custody of his little girl!!! Clay, I've always lived by the motto that a hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child----YOUR CHILD and hopefully many others to come. Thank you for tooting my horn for me!!!

Thankful

I have had a great experience with Leigh Ann Schenk. She was there for us from the very beginning until the end. When I had questions or didn't understand certain things all I had to do was send a text or pick up the phone and call. Leigh Ann was very helpful and I appreciated everything she did. I w...as awarded Permanent Managing Conservatorship for my daughter. I would refer anyone who needed a very good lawyer. Thank you so much for everything Leigh Ann!!

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.
