GREAT-HONEST-TENACIOUS-VERY GOOD ATTORNEY

I'm a grandma who intervened on a cps case regarding my grandchildren and won! Leo Farias II, has represented me in the most professional manner, his ethics are of the highest standards. Honest, trustworthy and very straight forward. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and ...what direction you should go. Leo Farias II has provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, very knowledgeable and honest. While working with Leo, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and he did not steer me wrong. Never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his clients. His friendship, courtesy, knowledge and honesty have become very important to me during the time he represented me in my case. He is well respected in the community and has earned this respect following the values of his faith and commitment to his vocation He will not run up a bill with chit chat or unnecessary communication. Very fair in what he charges for his services. I also would like to comment on his staff. Throughout my case, I have never encountered an attorney or there staff who are like Leo’s. They don’t take messages and make you wait days for answers or help and I’m so grateful to have them to answer all my questions in a very timely manner. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Leo Farias II and his staff to anyone seeking legal representation. They are fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Leo Farias II again. He is always on top of the game and never misses a deadline. Don’t hire him if you are not going to trust him and let him do his job.
