DO NOT HIRE ROYAL LEA..... HORRIBLE ATTORNEY

Went to Royal Lea with a Real Estate Fraud case that I had done almost all of the evidence gathering. He even told me it was as close to a 'slam dunk' as it gets. He completely dropped the ball during mediation after talking privately with the other attorney and wanted me to take an agreed judge...ment (which took me 15 YEARS TO COLLECT). l fired him immediately and took on the collection of the judgment myself. By the time I actually collected the judgment, it wasn't even enough to cover the cost of repairing the building which the case was originally based on. FIND A DIFFERENT ATTORNEY IF YOU REALLY WANT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR STUFF.

Great Securities Lawyer -- Individual and Class

I first met Royal when he sued a client. He handled himself very well, demonstrated deep knowledge of securities law and litigation procedure, and was a worthy adversary. He is very comfortable in a class action or individual claim and as zealous in mediation as court. Top notch.

Royal Lea is in my opinion the best attorney in the country. My cases lasted approximately 18 months and I have never seen a more competent, professional, prepared attorney. As a result of his expertise, both of my cases settled with an outcome that was beyond our expectations. We would all prefer... to avoid legal circumstances in general, that being said, situations arise and when they do the attorney is absolutely the key to being successful. I would recommend Mr. Lea to anyone requirng legal advice/service and I would certainly use him again should I ever require legal assistance.

Royal Lea is the best of the best. He is the most thorough and intelligent person, much less attorney, I have ever known. He stepped into our case with just 30 days to prepare and was incredible. Do not be fooled by his soft spoken and quiet personality.... When the game starts he is a bulldog that y...ou want on your side. He was extremely fair on his fees and deserved every penny. I would recommend Royal to anyone that needs an attorney and he will be representing me and my business in any future legal battles.

  • 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.
