Leonard is a knowledgeable professional. He strongly advocates for his client while maintaining a professional relationship with opposing counsel and others involved in the matter. If litigation is necessary, Leonard will be a strong and reasonable voice in the courtroom for his client. However he is savvy enough to look for reasonable settlements that will benefit his client. Leonard is a true professional.

I worked against Mr. Higdon in a very difficult, high and complex asset case, which also had significant parenting issues. He was ethical, timely, and competent. He treated my client with respect. Mr. Higdon has a strong knowledge of the law. I have since referred multiple clients to Mr. Higdon when they have cases outside my areas of practice. I strongly endorse Mr. Higdon.

I have known Leonard for almost 20 years. We have had the opportunity to work together a few times on family law and business litigation matters. Leonard is an intelligent, articulate and skilled attorney. He cares deeply about his clients and works tirelessly to advance and protect their interests. If I personally needed representation and were looking to hire a lawyer Leonard would be at the top of my list.
