DWI Dismissal

Leigh Gonnet was absolutely amazing. She got my DWI dismissed without any probation. I simply had to take a few classes and do community service. She believed in my case and cared about my rights. Was always sweet and considerate. She responded to missed calls quickly and kept me well informed throug...h out the process.

SUPERIOR CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Leigh is a superior criminal defense attorney. She represented me in a professional manner and is always available to answer any questions I might have as well providing excellent representation. I have known her for several years and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal representati...on for a legal criminal matter. I recommended her to several of my friends and when their cases were resolved they all thanked me for the referral.

Knowlegeable and compassionate attorney

I have known Leigh for over 20 years and she has represented me on several cases. She is always responsive when needed. She has good rapport with judges. Her fee is much more reasonable than other attorneys. Leigh worked for several years at the Department of Public Safety and is very knowledgeable o...f the law. Leigh is a compassionate attorney and has a genuine concern for the well being of her clients.

Incompetent and Unprofessional - Save Your Life & Hire A Better Lawyer

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I hired this lawyer mainly because of the low price. Like they say, Cheap is not always good. Leigh was always late, and unresponsive most of the time. In court, she spoke very submissively under her breathe rather than strong willed as I would expect a d...efense attorney to. Such responses as, "I suppose that's what it means". Seriously, that's how you are going to answer the judge? In court she was not even attentive during our session, rather chatting with others. I was appalled. If I had money to sue this lawyer for her lack of effort I would! My advise to anyone thinking about using this lawyer is DON'T. Spend a little more money and get a competent lawyer who has your best interest in mind. Leigh Gonnet is not one of those.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Not only have I known Leigh for more than 15 years, but I have consulted her on DWI cases and I have read some of her legal briefs and I have watched her in court. She knows the law, she does the research, and she presents it effectively in the courtroom. Eloquence is great, and we all wish we had it, but knowing the law and being prepared is what wins cases, and Leigh is excellent in those regards. I would not hesitate to ask her legal advice or to refer someone to her. Come to think of it, I have referred people to her, and she has done excellent work for them. I will continue to refer people to her because her legal scholarship is superior, and that's what wins."
