Larry M Leach

If you are a single parent trying to get custody or child support DO NOT use Larry he is extremely expensive and while nickle and dime you! He originally quoted me at most $3000 and in the end it has cost me almost double. The communication with him and his paralegal's is almost none existant, they d...o not describe or explain anything to the client. You're better off doing the paperwork yourself!

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.

I hired Larry Leach to assist me with a Child Custody case, and all this lawyer did was show up in court introduce himself and charge me $270.00 every court date. He took every penny I had and after all is said and done, I am back to square one and my $3,000.00 is gone. He never returned my calls; h...e never made any suggestions, or shows any emotion, he just attends and collects. He never advised or suggested a deferred plan so when the time came, and I was in the ring, he could fight for me, but literally nothing was accomplished, nothing at all! He even forgot to file the form that should have been filed in the beginning. I was charged for so many petty things, I could have done myself, and the paralegal I worked with was no help at all. I am so disappointed and sick because I did not research or educate myself on “how to hire” a lawyer. I was discouraged on calling and seeking assistance in fear of getting billed. This was a case of “take the candy from the baby” it was sly and quick and I am so disappointed.

I hired Larry Leach to help me get full custody for my there children and the case turned to be a child support case. I was told my case would cap out to 5000 dollars and it turned to be 16000 dollars. On top of that im now getting charged interest because i didnt pay in full.When we went to court he... was very unorganized and didn't know what was going on at times. His paralegal is very rude. Now my case is over and my case remains the same. What I hired him for was to win full custody which still remains joint custody. The results in child support still remain the same as well. Not getting anything. Also he won't release my records to me.Larry did not change my case one bit and I am very disappointed in this attorney. I won't not recommend this attorney.
