Good Lawyer

I highly recommend Ms. Leffew to hire her as your lawyer. She tries her best to take your side in any possible way. When the judge becomes stupid that is not Ms. Michelle fault. I have hired her as my lawyer to fight for my restrain order that was issued under my name. And she tried her best to fig...ht for it and brought good points to the attention of court but the judge was unfair. I gave all the credit to Ms. Michelle and Mr. fine for representing me and both of them are great lawyers. Hire them without any regrets.

She’s a life saver! Hire her!

I had a high speed chase with the helicopter and was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor, I was possibly facing more than a year in prison and this pit bull of a lawyer got it reduced to a misdemeanor with a little bit of community service and a very small fine. I was referred to her through a fr...iend who had gotten himself in some hot water as well and she also worked her magic for him. She’s super cool and her communication is excellent, I couldn’t be happier. If you’re in serious legal trouble you need her on your team, trust me.

The Best Lawyer !

Michelle is straight forward and will be truthful with you about your case and yet very professional and kind. My son hired Michelle and from Day one I new we could trust her to have our sons best interest at hand, in a journey that could have changed his and his families life for ever. She explained... every hearing process to us before and after. She always talked with us and our son about what way to proceed even if we did not like what would happen next and she always listen to our feed back. She is a very kind and understanding Lawyer and down to earth. She helped our son with his case over and beyond and still checks in with him. We have made a friend through this terrible process and we highly recommend Michelle. Thank You For Everything ! Michelle

Excellent attorney

Michelle was very professional and new exactly what steps to take throughout the whole process, she also helped me prepare myself mentally and emotionally and made me feel confident about her and the whole situation, and when we concluded and finalized my case I was so happy that she was my attorney... and wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to help me get through a situation like that. Thanks to her I am able to move forward in my life and take care of my family.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Michelle and all the hard work she did during my move away case. She was always honest with me, telling me the truth about my case, good or bad. She prepared me for a potentially long and strenuous battle. I could not have done this without her. I am so tha...nkful for her expertise and knowledge in my case and because of her my move away request was granted!!!!
