Firm, Fair, Professional. Hands Down the Best.

Leah was recommended to me by a friend back in 2019 and I was blown away by the proactive nature in which she took to handle things. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the case to make sure I had the best representation possible. She truly does care about each individual and their case like... she was looking out for her own family. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a professional lawyer.

The best, no question

I was lucky enough to land Leah Kisner to defend me back in 2008. This was when she was a Public Defender, but I had seen the usual defense someone gets with a public defender and that is not what I received. She went above and beyond for me in every way possible. She hired an amazing expert for my c...ase. She is so smart and was able to discredit the Prosecution’s expert. I could not have won my case without her and I’m so thankful for her still to this day. She treats her clients like family and actually cares about them. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services.

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.
