Larry M Leach

I obtained Larry Leach to gain joint physical and legal custody of my child. During the consultation Larry Leach was positive that due to the circumstances of the case joint custody would be easily obtained. However after the initial retaining fees were paid he seemed to be almost dis-interested i...n the case. The fees charged by him and his paralegal were outrageous based on the small amount of time he actually dedicated to the case. After three retainer payments he seemed ill prepared and convinced me to settle for less than joint custody even though I had told him on numerous prior occasions that the minimum settlement I would agree to was joint legal custody. To make a long story short the day of the hearing Larry appeared unprepared and I was so nervous I settled for the original deal the opposing attorney offered which I had previously declined multiple occasions. I agreed to this at Larry Leach recommendation. In the end after approximately $6500.00 in attorney fees I gained nothing but two extra days a month visitation and I still have no joint legal or joint physical custody. Buyer beware Larry Leach portrays the appearance of being on your side during initial consultation, but once he receives your payments he appears to lose interest and charges you right down to the staples used to bind the legal paperwork.

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.

On June 15, 2013, my wife walked away from our marriage. when it became apparent that I needed to make a decision to protect myself, several friends suggested Larry Leach. I did not want a divorce; I did not want to be separated; but when I sat down in his office, Larry asked the questions I needed t...o hear so that I could make a rational decision. He didn't push divorce nor did he suggest there was a way around the Separation. Larry gave me honest knowledgeable advice and then supported the decision I made. He and his office were there for me every step of the way in availability by phone or email. They explained every step of the process and stuck with me right up to my final decision and divorce decree. Thank You Larry M Leach and Assoc.

Larry asked briefly for my side and concerns, ONCE, others arose, the children were being badmouthed and caught in the middle (very young 2 and 1) he did nothing to work with the other attorney to stop this. My ex wife applied for a restraining order and got it because Mr. Leach advised that we shou...ld not contest it as it might make her mad, that hearing was held as a status conference. in our four way conference we were given no true financials for my ex and now three years later her actual financials were never received although we had to agree to something on the Sworn Financial Statement and we did. He filled a response to my ex wife's petition for separation but I did not find out about that filing until a year and half later and from my new attorney. He did not help prepare me for court, I had NO IDEA that I would be taking the stand for anything, he had had me prepare financial exhibits and I thought we were there only to separate our assets but then found out that we were there primarily to discuss custody which I tried to do but wasn't prepared for, my ex lied about our relationship and everything in it and Larry did not redirect me on the stand to address her statements or redirect me so I could completely answer questions posed by opposing counsel, we lost. Three years after the fact and hundreds of thousands of dollars later I am still in court, even post divorce, fighting for things Mr. Leach should have addressed while he represented me but did not. Our children have been forced to not see their father for over 8 months now and this is our current struggle post divorce and thankfully without Mr. Leach we are winning.
