Amazing Attorney

Leah has helped my husband and I in two different custody cases with our ex-spouses. Leah is an incredible attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient in her work. She has sincere concern for each individual and also will be straightforward with how the law works and availabl...e options. She will give information to you straight and help to get you what you are seeking as well. I would highly recommend her and would only ever use her again if needed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
