Excellence in Family Law

I interviewed several attorneys before I hired Frank and Leavitt Law Firm. This attorney and his office far exceeded any expectation that I could have had, putting the future well-being of my kids and I before any other priority. Frank has a unique and special talent of explaining very difficult le...gal situations in an very logical way. He addressed every concern I had going into my case with calm assurance, and handled my family court case with bold but tactful prowess. Frank receives my highest possible recommendation.

I initially consulted with Frank but had another Lawyer on retainer. As my case was underway and not going well, i soon realized i had chosen the wrong Attorney. I made a phone call to Frank and retained him as my Attorney. After that Attorney change, my case was now heading in a good direction for m...e. There were multiple reasons for this as follows: 1. Great communication and expert advice at all times. 2. Frank understands your finance numbers when it comes to Property, Pensions, IRA's and Annuities and how the law applies to them. 3. Makes sound suggestions, gives great advise on how to prepare your day in court. Choosing Frank and the Leavitt law firm was the best choice i made. and strongly suggest you give him a call and get him on your team !

An Attorney You Can Depend On!

I contacted Leavitt Law Firm in early 2020 in order to review my options regarding post-divorce child custody issues. I met with Frank Leavitt and was extremely impressed right away. I retained Frank, and he quickly went to work for me. He addressed both of my immediate issues and reached an acceptab...le settlement in little time without even needing to step into the court room. This year (2021), when it became necessary for me to move across the country for work, I didn't hesitate to return to Frank, asking him to represent me in a child relocation request. He worked hard to ensure that the best interests of my children were met. He ensured the facts were clearly presented to the judge during the trial, and his work ultimately resulted in my relocation request being granted. Frank is extremely professional, and my confidence in him grew each time I met with him. He knows the law, remembered every detail of my case along the way, and was very prepared for our day in court. The rest of his team at Leavitt Law Firm was also amazing. If you're looking for someone you can trust to represent you in a family law matter, look no further than Frank Leavitt!

Amazing

Frank helped us with a tricky non parent visitation case. He is incredibly smart, honest, and he has no issues speaking up for his client. We had met with several lawyers and he was by far the best. He knew the law and fought hard following the law.

"Although Frank and I are related, this endorsement has nothing to do with that fact. I am vouching for Frank Leavitt due to his impressive working knowledge of Nevada Family and Domestic statutes and case law. I have personally witnessed him in Court and can attest that he is a natural-born litigator with more raw talent than most."
