I found Leonard Higdon on the recommendation of a friend, and am so glad I did. Part attorney, part therapist and part guide, Leonard helped me navigate my legal issue with competence, humanity and integrity. He is careful and conservative, and was a natural, not only at providing excellent and well-researched legal advice, but at keeping me focused on success when I might have otherwise become an obstacle to myself. I should also mention that even the party who technically opposed me, was able to agree to solve the issue without expensive litigation, thanks to Leonard’s competence and drive to solve the problem and win with integrity. My gratitude for having a competent friend in my corner,
So thankful Mr. Higdon was able to walk me through the legal process in the situation I was facing. Not only knowledgeable very personable as well. I was very please with the job he did and the results I got, definitely would recommend to anyone else seeking legal help. Thank you again

Great Lawyer
The ex-wife wanted to take full custody of my child after coming home one day to grab her belonging and leave with someone else. Leonard found diligently and was able to win the case with hardly any major modifications of the divorce decree. I would highly recommend Leonard to fight for you in your time of need. Without him I don't think I would have won the accusations and retain my daughter. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Higdon is exceptional, professional, honest, and upfront.
I hired on Mr. Leonard Higdon and his firm due to a divorce I’m currently going through. Needless to say, he is an outstanding attorney. He has been very patient, helpful, upfront, honest, and diligent with my case. I would recommend Leonard and his firm to anyone going through this process. Even though divorce is a difficult process, Leonard is extremely professional and helps make the process less complicated.

Attorney with a conscience!
I can't believe how quickly and with such efficiency my matter was handled. Leonard was referred to me by a friend, and I'm so happy with the results of the transaction he completed for me. I got an education in business and tax law in the process! I felt totally informed every step of the way.

I worked with Leonard on an issue a few years ago. I found him to be professional and compassionate at that time. I spoke with him again today on a related issue and he was patient and gave me great advice. I highly recommend Leonard to anyone looking for representation.

Listen to Mr. Higdon
Leonard is a great lawyer and always has your best interest in mind. When you disagree, he does know what works, so just listen. He saved me lots of problems and is a really good sounding board. He does listen and assist, always. His focus is what is truth and reality. He actually wants the "issue" to end, and he makes that obvious while helping.
I would never want his profession and I'm really happy to say Leonard does care and is professional; and I am recommending him always.
I've had other lawyers, Leonard is to the point; but always honest and respectful.
Been there, done that, he cares and listens and will fight for you. He will also council and just listen on rambling. Great lawyer. Better person.

Amazing Experience!
Leonard and his team worked with us from the beginning to the end of a very emotional custody issue. The gentleness of all the staff and excellent communication with them kept the process flowing smoothly. Although I hope no one has to go through what we had to, having Leonard and his team on our side to navigate the legal process and deal with the other party involved made the situation a lot easier to handle. We highly recommend Leonard and his firm!

Very professional and thoughtful
Mr. Leonard was always very competent and made me feel safe about a traffic accident. I'm an immigrant, and I've had a car accident that I've had to go to several times to court, and also I had some problems with insurance. I lost many nights of sleep until I found Mr. Leonard who from the beginning told me not to worry. He solved all the problems and did the best for me. I really recommend him! He will do a great job in your case.

Review from Trevor Pruett
I was completely lost before I talked to Leonard Higdon. Both he and his team were compassionate, thoughtful, and competent. I was very satisfied with my outcome as well. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Leonard and his team again.

Difficult Divorce
Leonard and his staff were relentless in helping me navigate a very difficult divorce. He provided the correct mix of empathy and legal experience to reach the best possible settlement. He never quit. His staff were supportive and timely in their responses to my questions and concerns. If you want legal representation that is squarely in your corner, hire Leonard.

I would (and have) refer my friends
Leonard was extremely knowledgeable in my divorce, and I never felt like he was talking down to me. He was thorough and detailed, and he had an uncanny ability to communicate with my ex in a way that didn’t alienate him and assured a positive outcome for me. After working with Leonard, I knew I was in good hands.

Great Counsel
Leonard Higdon went above and beyond to make sure that my case was taken care of in the best way possible and I was covered in the divorce case the way I should have been from the beginning (my work with Leonard took place 3 years after the fact). The minor hiccups that occurred on an administrative level were taken care of quickly and graciously. I would definitely recommend working with Leonard.

Fantastic
I would like to start off saying putting your trust in a lawyer can be scary, and a little uneasy. I hired Leonard to get my son in my life.
Leonard not only had my back from day one he got me 50/50 of my son at a year and a half old. Today my son is 7 and thanks to Leonard and how excellent he does in court I get to see my son every other week. I believe that if I didn't hire Leonard I would have been a part time father. Instead I am with my son 50%. I recommend Leonard and his team and would use him again and again if I had to. Thank you Leonard for all you have done for me and my son.

Amazing Lawyer!
I was referred to Leonard when my mother passed away early 2021 and I needed legal advice with her estate.
When I met Leonard I immediately felt his sincere compassion and concern. I connected with him and immediately trusted him with this delicate matter. Throughout this process (several months) Leonard has responded quickly to my questions as they came up and given me sound advice. I really appreciate Leonard's insight to the events around my family's dynamics and getting me through this difficult time.
I would highly recommend Leonard. He's amazing!

I hired Leonard about three years ago to help me with an issue that I was having with my children's father. Leonard and his team did a great job and are very knowledgeable. It is very clear that they care about their clients. Leonard is very honest and hard working. My children and I are very grateful for all of his help over the past three years.
