A leach. Don't hire.

Knew nothing about my case. Paralegal did everything. Financial secretary harassed for money. Did not even follow through after court date as instructed by judge. Overcharged. I lost more money then I got in alimony, child support and from house sale. Ruined my life in MANY ways.

Without intending to sound insensitive, this does not sound like me or my firm. Will you please call me or Patti so we can try to be more helpful.

Long Term Divorce Lawyer

Larry has been my divorce attorney since 2003 and has represented me over the past 12 years through my high conflict divorce and years of custody and contempt hearings. Larry and his team are professional and personable. Larry listened to my issues and worked hard for my case. One year I made a huge... mistake of signing papers with my ex without consulting with Larry or his team - that was a hard lesson learned and I vowed to always use Larry and his team before making legal decisions regarding my ex. Even though there was a lot of paperwork and documenting on my side to keep track of it helped me gain insight to the reasons we have lawyers. Larry was instrumental in communicating with the therapists and advocates and when positioned in court was very knowledgeable, attentive and relaxed. There were times I wanted Larry to be aggressive like my ex's lawyers however Larry knows darn well what he is doing. Overall, I will continue to depend on Larry and his team.

Hire one of the best

Larry has been a true professional and has shown his knowledge and expertise in my lengthy divorce. He came highly recommended and I will also refer Larry to anyone that wants solid representation with an objective no nonsense approach.

The office of Larry Leach is quick to take your retainer, but to get what is left of it is like pulling teeth. I saw an itemized bill. I spoke with him all of 10-15 minutes. I emailed him, he told me he didn't respond to emails, yet I was charged for that all. I was told by the accounting departm...ent I wouldn't be charged to talk to the office manager, Patty, yet I was. He recommended a friend to help with Health Insurance, I was charged more each time he talked with his friend. Mr. Leach was very good with the beginning of separation (in 2001) but seems to be getting lax over the years. Go for a younger Attorney.

I am very disappointed in reading the above review not only because of the negative and disparaging comments made about me and my staff but more importantly because it is obvious from the comments that our former client still does not understand the circumstances surrounding her re-contacting my firm. There is no doubt in my mind which former client posted the above comment. My office manager spent just over 4 hours with our former client to try and help her understand the 2001 case and the circumstances to date. My office manager never charged for her time. I too spent several hours with our client in an effort to accomplish the same thing and never charged for my time. I also contacted a gentleman who is recogized as an expert in Social Security and I asked that he speak with our former client. This expert agreed and met with out former client and neither we nor he charged our former client for time or services. This was not a friend of mine; simply a recognized expert. After much time and effort, we explained that in order to continue with what our former client requested us to do, we would need to be retained. With a small retainer our former client moved forward and after approximately three weeks, much to my surprise, advised that she had retained another attorney. Any balance remaining in our retainer account is refunded to a cilent at the end of the month following the last full month following withdrawal. This is done because filing fees with the court are always billed in arrears and a withdrawal in June for example would not be invoiced by the courts until July and therefore would not be billed to the client until August. This review saddens me greatly.

The best divorce attorney in Colorado!

Larry Leach is outstanding! I went through a long, horrible divorce. After two pathetic lawyers someone recommended Leach Law to me. Larry is knowledgeable, passionate, experienced, and an all around great guy! The whole team/ staff impressed me after using unprofessional law offices in the past.... The paralegal, accounting office manager, office manager are all quality people who you can trust. I wouldn't use anyone else and recommend Larry Leach to anyone needing a solid team behind you in your divorce.
