Best lawyer i have ever met

Incredible lawyer, outstanding man. This guy gets results. Knows the law. My outcome was much better that I ever ever expected. You will be well represented with him as a lawyer. Very easy to get along with.

Highest recommendation regarding Louis Leichter

A client-attorney relationship is a two-way street based on 1) the nature of the client's case including the client's willingness to be honest, 2) the ability and willingness of the attorney, and 3) the sum mutual respect and compassion borne from the above two conditions which develops over time. I ...am fortunate that when I needed representation I found Louis by recommendation from a number of different physicians in the Houston area where I live and practice. I am also fortunate that I did not need to win a case. Not only did Louis help me professionally and emotionally through a difficult Board investigation and agreed order, he to this day (now two years later) continues to counsel me both professionally and as a friend. It is important to add that Pinkie Henderson, his paralegal and right hand (wo) man is always kind, calm and patient. She not only relays messages and documents promptly, she listens and absorbs the fears that a client may on occasion transmit over the phone. After all your attorney sometimes has other clients and other cases which require his presence at other equally important hearings and trials. We are lucky to have the choice of the Leichter Law Firm.

Heartily endorse with NO reservations!

I am a physician client who had significant complex board-related issues. After a miserable experiece with a less experienced attorney out of Houston, Mr Liechter counseled me & represented my interests at a level that exceeded and continues to exceed my expectations. He has taken a personal interest... in me, his fees have been most reasonable and he has been highly professional. His knowledge base, judgment and experience are impressive, as is his understanding of the arcane mechanics of this branch of administrative law. My encounters withthe Board make it obvious that he is respected by the powers-that-be and in fact is more relied on as a resource than an adversary. I am aware of in excess of a dozen colleagues that have had similarly positive experiences with Mr. Leichter. I am aware of issues he had with his own Board which, presumably account for his rating on this site. He has been candid about this history and there is no doubt in my mind that it only contributes to hie effectiveness and insight.

Louis Leichter

Louis is a pit bull when it comes to results for his clients. He also has a keen understanding of the area of law in which he practices.

A review of Louis Leichter as my attorney

Mr. Leichter is an excellent attorney. I don't think there is a better lawyer when it comes to dealing with the Texas Board of Medical Examiners. I am very satisfied with the results of the litigation and feel that he is easy to work with and has a great personality. He is a great lawyer.
