No Response

First submitted message for consultation to Mr. Leeman, on the 21st, a follow-up request on the 24th. Today's the 29th and I've retained another attorney. This lack of response would make me skeptical of the level of service to expect.

Because of the amount of spam and scammers that attempt to contact attorneys through Avvo, I do not accept messages via this site and am unaware of any requests submitted by you. If you would like to reach me to discuss a matter, please call my office. (And kindly remove your negative review, as it is not deserved.)

"I got stumped on a procedural question as plaintiff's counsel on an attorney malpractice case. Other attorneys I had talked to were equally stumped. Alex took the time to speak with me and was able to answer my question by using his experience to put the entire situation in perspective. He was a big help."

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.
