Posted by Phil & Sue | March 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Trusts

Excellent attorney.,

Probably one of nicest and most friendly attorneys I have met. Very easy to talk with and answered all our questions. We hired her to draw up our trust. We can rest at ease that it is done.

Posted by Diana | April 29, 2019 | Estate Planning

Real Estate & Loan Agent

I have such a high level of respect and admiration for Leah Dixon. She is smart, knows the law, and is determined to get what her clients need. Leah also has compassion for her clients. I have gone to Leah for probate & estate legal guidance, done business with Leah and worked with other people that... have been clients of Leah’s. In all aspects of working with her, I have seen the same outcome – Hard work, happy clients and successful results. I suggest that anybody else who wants success as an outcome, work with Leah Dixon. With Leah Dixon, comes success.

Fantastic and Smart Probate and Trust Attorney

Leah is competent, bright and on the ball. I first hired her about three years ago personally to update our living trust. I own a real estate office in the Inland Empire that lists lot of properties that are in probates or trusts. There are often complex legal and title issues that need to be unravel...ed before the properties can be sold.The only person I call or recommend to my clients is Leah Dixon.

Probates

Attorney Leah Larkin is the best forget the rest. She is brilliant and powerful in what she does. I used her twice in the past, as my probate attorney. I am about to retain her again for another family matter. No matter how far you have to drive to her office, you won't be sorry. She takes her time w...ith you, and is very caring of your situation.

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.
