Wonderful experience

Rosemary was very knowledgeable and covered all the bases definitively in my initial consultation. She was also quite generous with her time and patient with addressing all my concerns - one of the most pleasant legal consultations I've had. I will certainly hire her if my case indeed develops to n...eed legal assistance.

Patient, Knowledgeable and kind

Rosemary, is great I spoke with her on the phone for a while and sent her my fathers estate information. She carefully reviewed the documents and gave me a lengthy opinion without even discussing money. The other attorneys I spoke with (about a dozen) only cared about one thing, their bill rate and... how much the retainer or percentage contingency was going to be, Rosemary, cares about me and my problems.

Extremely Grateful to Have Found Mrs. Leonard

With gratitude we can't express in words how wonderful, understanding, smart, patient and compassionate this woman is and how very happy we are that we found her. She is articulate, her knowledge of the law, case laws, appellate laws is through and her writing, communications and petition are to... the letter of the law. Rosemary is about doing what is right and what is correct and she won't stand for nonsense. She is always available and will educate her client as to the process, the laws, and gives you the opportunity to make a good decision. She is patient and will help guide you through sometimes very difficult times. We plan to keep Mrs. Leonard on retainer for a long time. No more worries and no more headaches. With sincere gratitude we thank her for all her wisdom and the freedom to know we are in the best of hands. Thank you Mrs. Leonard.

An excellent choice

I worked with Rosemary Leonard to settle an estate and had a great experience with her. Throughout the process, I felt that I could trust her to look out for my best interests. She answered my many emails quickly and was extremely helpful. I'd strongly recommend her services.

Excellent, thorough, trustworthy...

My situation (rewriting the family trust) required delicacy. My mom had a stroke & we had to relocate her & purchase a home in San Diego. In the midst of chaos, Rosemary easily relieved lingering family tension, met with us in locations selected to relieve mom's stress, advocated reasonable solution...s specific to our situation, and most importantly, handled my mother with the dignity she deserves, which isn't always the case. Rosemary remained patient when we missed appointments because I was simply overwhelmed, and, what I should really stress, handled our legal affairs skillfully and much to our benefit. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Rosemary for almost 1 year and I have found her to be well qualified, intelligent, always helpful, resourceful and very friendly and easy to work with. I am a criminal defense and personal injury attorney, who knows close to nothing about probate matters, so when a client came to me with a probate-estate matter I was lost. But not for long. I remembered that Rosemary had answered a probate question for me on Avvo so I reached out to her. Man, I am glad I did. She quickly allayed my probate concerns and is still assisting me to this day. In fact, she is now my firm’s go to person for probate. I heartily endorse and recommend Rosemary for any probate or estate and trusts matter."
