Posted by Carrie | November 18, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

True expert and professional in her field!

Last Fall Leigh helped me with my estate plan. She was extremely thorough and very well versed in all aspects of the planning process. Prior to meeting with Leigh I thought I was fairly well prepared, but she was able to ask questions and bring up "what if" situations that helped drive through a mo...re detailed final product. Not only did she execute a well drawn Will, POA & Medical Directive but she also provided an extremely comprehensive binder where I can store and add to all my final wishes. I have referred Leigh to several other friends and clients and will continue to do so as I know she's one of the best in her business. I highly recommend Leigh for any & all of your estate plan needs!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
