DUI

I hired Nathan D Leonardo to defend me for my DUI case back in Nov 7, 2017 from the moment we spoke he Instantly made me feel better especially since I had never been in any kind of trouble with the law. He answer all my questions all the time plus he was easy to get ahold of. Nathan was able to find... evidence and good arguments which made my decision easier to take my case to trial, Which I was found NOT GUILTY. He's an outstanding lawyer and very professional I highly recommend him.

BEST CHOICE - Hands Down!

I hired Nathan Leonardo to help out with a pretty scary issue. Nathan was a beacon of hope to me and my family at a time when our options appeared very limited, and the likelihood of an even close to satisfactory resolution seemed unlikely. His calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor. N...athan always answered, or returned my calls. He also utilizes a very neat, easy to use, online system for communication and storage of the important components pertaining to your case. I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Nathan Leonardo without reservation. He IS a great guy and a BETTER attorney! -CdeC

Fabulous resource wiling to share advice.

I received 2 DIUS. I have never had a situation I have 2 anything at one time. I explained the situation and was asking what are my chances to win against the state. He was soooo helpful. Answered all my questions concerns I live in a different city and am an SSDI recipient but I don't often meet ...someone who gives away advice. I'm grateful to him as sure no garentees what a judge or jury will do he said but with the medical and certain circumstances I have going for me I have a good way to beat this. Mine involved proscription meds not alcohol. Same rules apply.. Fines are riculous and I was capable and wiling to do whatever the officers wanted. He was so helpful it places my fears of the Court. If I could pay him I would. I have to get a pd.

Grateful

I am a professional who found myself in the middle of a scary situation and needed help. The only thing that I have ever experienced was a speeding ticket and now I was having to prove my innocence. The whole court process was overwhelming and confusing but Nathan helped me to understand and to stay ...calm. His advice was always right on and in the end my case was dismissed with prejudice. I am so grateful to him and his caring demeanor. Also, he was always available to talk or would call me back in a very timely manner. Great guy and a great attorney.

Nathan Leonardo is an EXCELLENT LAWYER!!!

"I was arrested for DUI in November 2013. My BAC was .124/.126, the legal limit is .08. I thought I was never going be able to prove my innocence, so I contemplated pleading guilty, but the penalties for a DUI is worse than the crime itself. Nathan Leonardo was recommended to me by another att...orney. I am VERY pleased with Nathan Leonardo. Nathan Leonardo's fees were reasonable, he was extremely professional and compassionate about my defense. He was responsive to all my inquiries (and I had plenty). He communicated with me and included me in the entire process. To prepare for trial, he conducted research, hired an expert witness and requested maintenance/calibration results from the breathalyzer machine in an effort to better my position during the trial. And, during the jury selection, before the trial, Nathan included me in the process. BOTTOM LINE...When a defendant is completely confident in their lawyer (like I was with Nathan Leonardo), the jury sees a confident team working together. I was found "NOT GUILTY". I recommend Nathan Leonardo highly. Your rights will be protected by a competent professional.
