      Review Brandon Leavitt

      Amazing lawyer!

      Posted by

      Brandon is an outstanding, family-centered, person of integrity. I am happy to recommend him. I hired Brandon in 2017, completely nervous and carrying "baggage" from a highly abusive, complicated 15 year marriage. I started my divorce process slightly mistrusting and likely difficult to work with, in some ways. Through it all, Brandon stayed calm, focused, helpful, aware, knowledgable, supportive, kind, trustworthy and respectful. Brandon helped me get every single thing I had hoped for, and more, in the end--- safety for me and my children, financial stability and a positive future.

      Trusted Attorney

      Brandon Leavitt is a top level attorney in his field. I refer those that I want to receive ethical and professional representation to his office with regularity.

      Thank You

      Posted by

      My Divorce started in Oct. 2014 with another Attorney. Dec. 2014 met with Attorney Leavitt , felt so relaxed that he was thd right Attorney to represent me. Attorney Leavitt filed for substitution of Attorney and took on my case keeping me informed all the way and always keeping me aware of all possible outcomes. He was able to have my case settled by mid February 2015. We had one court date and I completely admired how tenacious he was with opposing counsel before we even entered the Judges chambers. Divorce is a truly nasty business and I am forever grateful that Attorney Leavitt represented me.

      The right lawyer for the high conflict or potentially high conflict divorce

      Posted by

      I turned to Attorney Leavitt when my case changed course from what I thought was going to be an amicable divorce to a high conflict divorce. He immediately displayed complete understanding of Nevada divorce law and advised me appropriately on all aspects, both my strengths and weaknesses, of the case. He immediately implemented his strategy changing the course in which my case had initially been headed. Through it all he displayed the utmost professionalism and ethics using both my time and resources (money) in ways that would only benefit my case. I highly recommend him to anyone. He is a straight shooter who will listen, work hard, and most importantly look out for your best interests legally. A big thank you to him and his team.

      Was up front, honest and friendly. Excellent

      Posted by

      Much like everyone else, I was at a point in my life where my world was changing and I needed to look out for the best interest of my family, Brandon K. Leavitt was referred to me by a lawyer not in family law. Brandon was the third lawyer that I met with and right away I knew that he was the right person for my divorce. He was up front, honest and friendly. He asked me what I wanted and let me know what would most likely happen. He informed me of my rights and helped me through the rollercoaster of emotions that came with making this change. I have referred Brandon to my friends and they all appreciate him as well. I know that I went with the right person and received the best deal possible. In closing I feel that part of the reason my EX and I get along so well is because of how fair and honest Brandon was with both of us.

      This guy knows his stuff!

      I was stuck in a marriage I knew was going no where fast. I wanted out and didn't know what to do. I was given Brandon K. Leavitt's name by a friend of mine who told me I had to call him for help. I thought I would give him a try and I set an appointment just to talk. I showed up for the meeting and was surprised how friendly and knowledge Mr. Leavitt was. He actually looks really young but he has was quoting the law by chapter and verse. His level of knowledge and expertise was impressive. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and helped me understand the law regarding my case. I ended up going with Mr. Leavitt because I could tell he was really aggressive, which was really important to me. Mr. Leavitt did a great job for me and was able to settle my case out of Court. I am really pleased with Mr. Leavitt's professionalism and ability to navigate my situation with ease. If I ever get married and divorced again, Mr. Leavitt will be my first call.

      Best lawyer ever!

      He helped me when I needed it most . He was my third lawyer that I had hired for the same case,d and I was hoping that he would be the best. He was!! He help me get everything that I needed and then some. He always answered my phone calls, emails, text messages. He was always there and it seemed like he really cared about my situation. I recommend him to everybody. And God forbid, if I ever do have to go to court again,he will be my lawyer.

      Great Family Lawyer!

      Posted by

      I was introduced to Mr. Leavitt 2 years ago while going through a horrible, nasty, Jerry Springer style divorce. Mr. Leavitt, was there for me with answers to any and all question and worked with me through the divorce and child custody battle. I as a father, was awarded joint custody and all of the frustration I had was dealt with by Mr. Leavitt in a swift, fast and supportive manner. Mr. Leavitt, is a straight shooter, with very high morals and ethics. He is a good man and a great lawyer. If you have any family legal matters, make a smart decision and call Brandon Leavitt.

      If you have to fight for your rights, feel confident with Brandon!

      Posted by

      Brandon was fantastic. My ex was trying to get primary custody of our son and move out of state. Brandon is the reason I now have joint physical custody and my son remained in Las Vegas! He had intimate knowledge of the Family Court system (having worked there) and was extremely skilled at navigating a lot of the red tape. For instance he notified me about the option of Pre-emptive challenge to throw out the initially assigned judge. Very instrumental in my case (got rid of Judge Pomerantz, who is not "dad-friendly"). He was always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way. He was always sensitive to the cost and never intentionally did things to cost me more. I have recommended Brandon to other friends of mine. And they had the same experience that I had. If you have to fight in Family Court, Brandon Leavitt is a guy you can go into battle with!

      Good Lawyer

      Posted by

      My duaghters mother was all over me about not paying child support to her. She also wouldnt let me see my child unless she allowed it on her terms. A buddy of mine gave me Brandons card. He went to talk to Brandon about soemthing else and liked him. I called Brandon and made an appointment. He was able to see me the next day. He told me straight up about my case and my chances of getting custody of my daughter. He is an honest dude. I had a tone of questions and he helped me know what to do.. We went to court and the Judge gave me visitation with my duaghter. I still have to pay child support which sucks, but at least I get to have a relationship with my child. Im glad I called Brandon. I would recommend him whole heart to anyone. He is a good lawyer.
