Best firm for the not so ordinary custody case

Retained Leo and firm as grandparents seeking custody of an infant grandchild. CPS was involved, rehabs were involved. Needless to say from our perspective it was a mess. After our first consultation with his firm there was no going back. We were in good hands. Even when the rehab provided an att...orney for the mother and I got a knot in the pit of my stomach, this firm stood their ground on what was in the best interest of the child. We may be grandparents but Leo saw that this child had his only chance of survival with us. It’s been almost 5 years now. The mother has never reached out to inquire as to the well being of her son. Leo and his very qualified team are not in this for mom, dad, grandparents..... they do this because every child deserves to be loved, nurtured, protected and to have a life of opportunity. I waited to post this as I didn’t want it to come from a place of relief in my heart. I wanted it to come from my heart at a time where all the emotions of a custody case have been far removed. If you are going through a tough time and you need a divorce or child custody attorney look no further than Leo and his team

Divorce Case

It's unfortunate to have to secure his services, and the services of his firm, but he and his staff has made my experience pleasant. Both attorneys visited with me right away, and filed my divorce within 24 hours. Their staff have kept me up to date, and have answered all of my questions. I am still... going through the process (60 days not up), and both attorneys continue to guide and advice how to best handle every unfortunate incident that continues to happen. I highly recommend their services.

Leo Farias II

I want to recommend Leo Farias and his teammate Karleana Lahens-Abner. The guided me trough the tough emotional journey of my divorce keeping my case attached to important facts, the only that matters at the end. Mrs Karleana Lahens-Abner was my trial lawyer. Smart, passionate, perfect Spanish, gr...eat capacity of reaction and focusing even against the oddest challenges from the opponent lawyer. Great team. Thank you.
