Highly recommended

From the moment I met Leo, I knew he was the right person to handle my case. I was in a very difficult, high-conflict co-parenting and domestic violence situation, and Leo helped me navigate it with confidence and clarity. My case went on for over a year, and he remained consistent, supportive, and d...etermined the entire time. Thanks to Leo, I was awarded sole legal and physical custody of both of my children. I am beyond grateful and very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Leo to anyone going through a challenging custody case.

Restraining order against my neighbor

I must say that this Men here save me from a stressful matter. I issue a restraining order against my neighbor who has constantly been harassing me and my family. I needed someone to represent me at a really short notice. I walk in his office on October 30th 2018 and my court hearing was on October 3...1 st 2018 and he agreed to take my case . He quickly gathered all information needed for this case. He’s a true hero to me and my family vey professional.

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.
