Heed caution.....

I would not hire Leonard again or recommend him to anyone else. It's my opinion that rather than to defend me(when there was clear video/audio/medical evidence in my favor), Leonard strung my case along rather than to simply display the ROYAL FLUSH of evidence that he had from the start to end my cas...e. Leonard kept saying he didn't present evidence of my innocence to the prosecutor because he "didn't want to show all the cards". Well, Leonard, if in the future you ever again have a Royal Flush as far as evidence; I hope that you show those cards and end the circus rather than keep collecting money. I get it, you have a 'business' to run. But if you prioritize taking steps to ensure that you can keep your doors open BEFORE you expeditiously string innocent people along who paid you large sums of money to defend them; my opinion stands that you're not doing the right thing........ I understand that there are cases where Leonard has done great things and received positive reviews; my case is not that way...I hope that Leonard successfully handles many more cases in the future that result in his clients waking up the next day without worry on their backs. Unfortunately that was not the case for me. For me, I experienced a lot of talk from Leonard and only walk from him when I unfortunately feel it was necessary to apply pressure........I really wish him the best, but after all the money he received for my case with such minimal follow-through; he can't get more than a single star from me........ Leonard, please do better.
