Joe Milner, Family Attorney on Nov 22, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Lea has the experience, as well as excellent legal ability and trial skills necessary to handle the most complex of cases. He is a pleasure to work with when he represents the other side. He doesn't let the children get lost in the process of getting the parents disentangled, which is a trait I very much admire.
