The best!!

I could tell that Leavitt Law Firm has elite expertise in family law during my consultation, which is why I hired him after meeting with other attorneys. Divorce is NOT easy! But Dennis at least made me feel like I was going to get what I deserved in the proceedings.

Great Divorce Attorney

Leavitt Law firm handled my divorce. It was a contested divorce, but Dennis Leavitt helped me get a fair deal. I felt as if he really cared and worked hard to get me a positive outcome, which isn’t always the case with attorneys. I recommend him to anybody that needs a family law attorney.

Posted by James | February 01, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..Experienced, Competent, & Straightforward

Dennis Leavitt if one of the very best attorneys in Las Vegas. He handled my case and helped me get results that I did not expect. His bio states that he has 25+ years experience, and it was very obvious to me that he knew what he was doing at all times throughout my case. His office was responsi...ve and helpful throughout my case, even when I got to be a tad annoying with my frequent phone calls and questions. I really appreciate their commitment to my case and will recommend Dennis Leavitt & Leavitt Law Firm to anyone that needs an attorney.

An attorney who cares...

Dennis is in this business to really help people who need it! I didn't find him to be your typical blood-thirsty, money-hungry attorney. Dennis is compassionate and took the time to really listen to my case and did everything in his power to get me what I wanted! He has been supportive and very promp...t in his responses to the many questions and concerns I had about my divorce. He also made himself available to meet with me whenever needed, and he is so easy to talk to. Dennis guided me through the process of legal paperwork with patience. He has an amazing receptionist who is incredibly helpful and pleasant to talk to, as well. I am a teacher, and I was beyond lucky to secure an attorney who is willing to work with me financially. Dennis's prices are more than fair, especially in comparison to what my ex-husband paid. There were so many occasions when I couldn't have been more grateful for having Dennis as my attorney. I appreciated his guidance and direction through such a complicated legal process and am very satisfied with the outcome of child custody. He fought hard for me! Dennis was strategic, composed, knowledgeable, and highly experienced! I am extremely satisfied and grateful for his expertise and demeanor.

Divorce Client

Leavitt Law Firm is the only place to go for your divorce. I had a very complex case, and Mr. Leavitt's experience and expertise in family law saved me a big headache. He knew exactly what to do and what to ask the court to do. I was very happy with my alimony, child support, and custody arrangement....

Rating:  7.4 (Very Good)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2021

updated on 10/13/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
