Leon Fromkess Bennett

I've worked with Leon and his team for several months now. He was connected with me through a co-worker that had worked with him previously. They have been professional, knowledgable, and responsive. He has demonstrated an in-depth understanding of family law in California, which you would come to expect with someone with years of experience in the field. His feedback and input has been very helpful with my situation, which has been turning out positively.

Where do I start??? I love love love Leon!! (Don't tell his wife or he will have to hire himself!!) Just Kidding! I hired Leon about 7- 8 years ago ( I forgot - thank God! how long its been) I had hired 2 attorneys prior, the first one must have thought I was a celebrity as he charged me a fortune in one month - un real! I moved on quickly or I would have been in bankruptcy court. Keep the "Westside" attorneys over there. This guy is better anyways!! By far! The second attorney did absolutely nothing for me but play defense for about 6 months, and when I had an emergency altercation I didn't even have her cell to reach out to ( yes, I had and HAVE Leons!!). She left me high and dry and cost me a fortune doing nothing but, like I said playing defense! I was referred to Leon, and the day I walked out of there ( on crutches, as I just had a hip replacement) I felt a huge burden released and FINALLY someone on MY side. He had a strategy, a team, a goal, and from then on HE called the shots. I call him my pitbull, as that's what I needed - as I was dealing with a man who was hiding assets, going after me for alimony and CS, and living in my face the entire time. One of the most contentious divorces I have heard about. Leon was ALWAYS there for me, as was his staff, and team. We never had to go to court and he took the "bull by the horns" when we had a four-way meeting in HIS office. He knew just how to play these two people ( I would call them men, but they do not deserve that right - real MEN don't act like that). By the end of the meeting my ex's attorney was flipping his own wedding ring up in the air!!serious! with his head on his hand. I sat with Leon many times in his office. He heard my cries, my anguish, and my pain, and NEVER took advantage of me. He referred me to a good forensic acct also as I had to fight fire with fire. I knew Leon had my back when I sat in his office and asked him what would he do if it was his daughter sitting here ( even though I am about the same age as Leon!!lol) - what would he advise her? He said: Settle. I did, and I am thankful now looking back. I finally got my life back, was able to focus, was able to eat (unfortunately gained the 10# I lost back!) and didn't have to wear depends anymore!! JK. I could focus on my work, my family, and my faith! Leon could have "taken me" for another year on this path, or litigated or just spent thousands and thousands more and made him alot more too, but he was honest and had my interest at heart, NOT his!!! I would recommend him in a heartbeat, and have. I hope no one has to go thru this, but if you are unfortunate and can't work it out, suck it up, stop the stubborness, and competition, and let him help you get thru it and take your life back. It's too short. I thank God for the day I met him. Carol O
