This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I highly recommend The Law Office of David F Leon

My experience with The Law Office of David F Leon was nothing short of outstanding. They handled my very unusually long and difficult divorce litigation with the utmost professionalism, integrity and care. Mr Leon and his staff were courteous, supportive and prompt in their responses to my commu...nications which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. He understood the details of my case thoroughly and prepared documents which were tailored to specific needs. He and his staff took the time to explain all the documents and were very patient with my numerous questions. He is a skilled negotiator and a staunch advocate for his clients. At the same time, he was very straightforward about the possible outcomes. I am deeply grateful for Mr David Leon and his staff’s work on my behalf. Their professionalism, sincerity and support were commendable and I am thankful for their exceptional legal service. I highly recommend The Law Office of David F Leon to anyone seeking family law legal services.

I recently worked with Attorney David Leon on a restraining order case, and his expertise and professionalism were exceptional. David and his team took the time to understand my situation and provided compassionate, tailored guidance throughout. With over 20 years of experience, his knowledge and att...ention to detail gave me confidence during a challenging time. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of strong advocacy in family law matters.

Best Divorce Attorney

I highly recommend Mr. David Leon. Mr. David Leon was my attorney along with his team/staff. Mr. Leon & his staff, including Suzanne were more than professional throughout my divore. Without a doibt, I would not esitate is use Mr. Leon & his team if I were to go through another diovore. If you wan...t someone that treats you with respect, is always willing to answer any questions, & fight for you, your best choice shoould be Mr. David Leon and his staff. They are truly an expectional team. I could not have gotten the results without his konwledge & expericence. Thank you Mr. David Leon, Suzanne and his staff for all that you were able to accomplish for me. You all are turly the best!

Smart and honest

Mr Leon was appointed as minors council for my child custody case. He is the only reason that my daughter was taken out of the terrible living situation she was in with her mother.

Thank you for what you do...

Thank you very much for what you do. The courtroom is different and without your expertise and your staff support. My case wouldn't have gone anywhere. It made a difference and to today, my daughter is doing very well. Thank you very much! Highly recommended!

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.
