Judith Ann Leecraft

I entrusted Judy and her team to help me when another lawyer in town lost a temporary orders hearing and I lost custody of my four year old son to my girlfriend. My girlfriend had been using dangerous drugs. CPS was called because my son had drugs in his system when he was born. My girlfriend kept... using drugs after he was born and one day she left me a note, took the baby, and moved to Mississippi. Even after this, my former attorney lost the hearing and the judge gave my son's mother Sole Custody. I called Judy. She jumped into action right away. After she sent out some very tough questions in discovery to my ex, my ex stabbed my son at a public park, when I was there to pick him up. She stabbed herself, too, in the stomach, then blamed me, saying I stabbed her and my son in a fit of anger. We had hearing after hearing, which I couldn't afford, for which Judy reduced my fees and fought like a mother bear. She won custody for me in another hearing, and my ex had to be supervised. We had a final hearing when the grandparents got involved and asked for custody of my son - her parents - and in a two week trial, Judy and Melissa got me custody of my son for good. My ex is supposed to be tried for her criminal behavior in January. She has been in jail for violating her probation. I think Judy had something to do with that, too. If you want a team that is willing and able to fight hard, someone who really cares about children, and someone who can see that sometimes the person who has been accused is not the perpetrator - can see through the BS - hire Judy and her team. You cannot go wrong with them. I used to say sometimes that "all was lost" but then my father would remind me "You've got Judy" and I would remember that she always had my back. Judy, Joe and the paralegals and the firm are the best, not only in Austin, but in Georgetown and I suspect in San Antonio. When I would mention Judy's name to anyone, guardians, other attorneys, sheriffs, police officers, or other legal type people, I always heard that she had the reputation of winning, fighting for your rights, and being ethical at the same time. Great attorneys, great firm.

I hired Judy for my divorce in 2002. I was successfully divorced in a matter of months. Unfortunately, I had some serious consequences from the marriage which I found out later regarding sexual abuse of my children by my ex, and I hired a series of other lawyers in Austin to litigate a modification.... After over $200,000 in lawyers' fees and a terrible outcome for me and for my children, I went back to Judy. I was sorry I hadn't hired her again for the modification in the first place. Judy was great and took my case back. I wanted an "exit strategy" to get rid of the litigation (my case had taken on a life of its own). Judy got to work and finished my case with a GREAT OUTCOME. (We even had fun in the meantime winning each little hearing against an attorney who thought he had my case "in the bag!") I have recommended Judy to all my friends. If you want a lawyer to charge you a fortune, not get you the best outcome, and you want to endure months or years of setting your nerves on edge through endless litigation, hire someone else. If you want the best outcome, want to work with a person who understands you and the challenges of litigation, and who listens to you, HIRE JUDY.

Judy, Joe and the staff are wonderful! My case has been going on for over a year and a half and is now coming to a close. It has been a very difficult and emotional time, yet Judy and Joe were by our sides every step of the way guiding us through the best and worst of times. They transferred my divo...rce case to Texas and relentlessly fought for the safety of my children and their well-being. During my custody dispute, we have learned so much about the legal system that without the aid of Judy and Joe, I would not have my children with me today. Judy and Joe truly care and we are so very thankful we went with Judy Leecraft Law and Associates . If you are looking for a great attorney, then I highly reccommend Judy Leecraft Law. They will take care of you and your rights.

Judy along with all the other lawyers that work in that office all work together as a team and are like a big family. They are very knowledgeable and trustworthy. You are not seen as just a client because they really do care and try to help you. Judy Leecraft and her associates took my child custody ...case and faught to get me a temporary emergency jurisdiction here in Texas since my case is in Ohio and I hadn't been a resident of Texas for a six month period, fighting to make this case a Texas case. They even got an emergency protective order issued for my children and I. They really care about you as a person and especially care about the children involved. They took my case when no one else would and really faught for my children and I. I was kept informed about everything that was happening in my case, someone always returned my calles and e-mails. I know that i can still call their offices and ask questions or get their opinions on something and they will be there to help even though they are no longer my lawyers.They even still to this day send me e-mails to see how the children and I are doing. So for anyone who is looking for lawyers who really care and fight for you call the offices of Judy Leecraft and associates, they are very knowledgeable and trustworthy.

I highly recommend Judy Leecraft and her staff. I was initially represented by another attorney when I met Judy and her staff in the courtroom during proceedings in another case. I was so impressed that I switched attorneys...hiring Judy to represent me. It was the best decision I ever made. Judy... has exceptional listening skills, she is non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate. Judy and her staff continue to take time to answer my questions and concerns even though my case has been finalized. I had some unique circumstances in my custody and visitation case and Judy was able to help me explore all my options. She is extremely knowledgeable, yet easy to talk to. I always received prompt responses to emails, faxes, and phone calls. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Judy and her staff and would recommend them to anyone who needs divorce or family law representation. She is the best!
