Highly recommend!

I contacted Louis via an online request through his website, and within minutes I received a phone call fom him (this was on a Saturday, no less!). I had been struggling by myself with a veterinary board case and decided it was time for a lawyer. I am so thankful I went with Louis and his team! He ...worked with my unusual situation, and was able to get my case dismissed very quickly! I never would have been able to do that on my own, and wish I would have found him much sooner. I highly recommend Louis Leichter and his team!

Hire Louis if you have licensing issues!

I hired Louis for some licensing issues with the Texas Medical Board. He spent the day before my hearing from literally 3:30 pm to 11 pm just preparing me. He and his associate attorney, Darrin prepped me for every possible scenario. The hearing went just as expected and it was smooth sailing. He... knew exactly what questions they would ask. Plus, while I was there waiting for my turn, 2 separate attorneys approached him for advice which is a testament to his abilities. There was even a FORMER client of his there who was unrepresented and Louis went in the hearing with him. When I queried him, he simply said, "It was the right thing to do." Louis is frank, friendly, and down to earth. High Praises. K.S., MD

Security Clearance Hearing

Louis Leichter represented me at a security clearance hearing. Preparation was first rate! More importantly, Mr. Leichter controlled the atmosphere in the court room, keeping it positive. Mr. Leichter presented my personal history in such a way, when he was finished, I wanted to meet the person he... was talking about - me! Hopefully I'll never face any kind of litigation again, but if I do, the Leichter Law Firm will be my go-to counsel.

Licensing and the Texas Medical Board

On our initial conversation, Mr. Leichter demonstrated significant knowledge about the physician training process (residency, fellowship, etc) as well as experienence dealing with the Texas Medical Board regarding licensing issues. Initially, the board asked for a range of documents and explanations... relating to a criminal arrest that occurred several years earlier, however, I doubted the validity of several of the explanations/documents they asked for. I contacted Mr. Leichter regarding my license application and he acted very quickly (within 3 business days) and prepared a document to the board outlining and highlighting why several of the requests were not valid. The board responded and the request for several of the documents was withdrawn. He further responded to my emails very quickly and sent several letters on my behalf to the board pressing them to process my application in timely manner as there had been significant time lost due to their requests . Overall, I was very satisfied with the job he did, and was extremely happy I used his services. I would certainly recommend him to another physician who was experiencing licensing problems with the Texas Medical Board.

Excellent Lawyer

Louis represented me in front of the Texas Board of Law Examiners. Louis got me licensed and I am now an attorney in Texas. Louis did an excellent job and stayed positive throughout the entire ordeal. Louis is well liked and has relationships with staff attorneys at the Texas BLE. I would recomme...nd Louis to anyone in the same circumstances I was in.
