Extraordinary

Leta restores my faith in humanity. I've never encountered anyone with so much passion and pure love for the human condition, let alone in an attorney! She is incredibly professional and fights for you every step of the way. I highly recommend Leta and am eternally grateful for her. My sister was inv...olved in an abusive marriage for over 20 years. We tried and tried to get help for her and the two children, and failed. Leta became involved in the case and was unwavering in her dedication to helping the children get the care and protection they so needed and deserved. Her compassion, honesty, guidance, and knowledge are tremendous and my family is eternally grateful.

Highly Recommended

It was agonizing trying to find a lawyer to help us on the most important thing in our lives; our children. I was always thankful we chose Leta Brandes. Her knowledge of the law was impressive as well as her genuine concern for children's welfare. Our case was a very difficult one. Leta continu...ed to fight for our family with professionalism and determination. I am eternally thankful that we chose her firm to represent us, and highly recommend her for advocating what is in children's best interest.

Leta Brandes is a wonderful lawyer and has excellent knowledge.

I first acquired Leta, through a child's rights advocate and lobbyist. I must say at first I thought man this woman is tough. She is hard, but she knew what was needed for my case. As a single father I knew it was going to be tough to get custody of my children, none-the-less get them to be able t...o move with me to California. She put her foot down and did not budge, she gave me all insights of the hearings and what was to come. In court, it was an interesting process that went just how she said it would and the judge even stopped with my ex's witness'. I was like wow. The end result was I got custody of my kids, sole decision making, and relocation rights to take my kids to California. I have a great respect for Leta and her team. I could never thank them enough. Now two and a half years later my ex wife is trying to get the kids for some false allegations and again I turned to Leta and her team. This time Leta is busy so I am working with Andrea Rickles-Jordan. She has been a firecracker just like Leta and I look forward to seeing how this one plays out. Believe me, no matter the turn out there will be a follow up review and a new review on Andrea. Thank you Leta and your team.
