Review Slavik Leydiker

Trustworthy and loyal

Posted by

My husband and I were involved in a serious car accident. At first, we tried to get some money from the other guy's insurance to pay for our car, but they denied our claim saying that we were equally responsible. Steve was then referred to us by a family friend. We met him at his office and knew right away that this was our guy. Since we didn't have medical insurance, Steve gave us a list of doctors to choose from that would agree to treat us until we were able to get some money to pay them back. In the end he got us way more than what we were hoping to get. It was truly the best decision we could have made. Steve kept us informed every step of the way. He would frequently call just to see how our recovery was coming. We really felt that he was looking out for our best interest the whole time. Great attorney.

Recommedation for Steve Leydiker

We hired Mr, Leydiker to represent us when we had flooding in our condo due to neglect from a construction company and our HOA. Mr. Leydiker handled our case in a timely, professional, and direct manner. He took control and remediated the situation. His knowledge and expertise allowed us to get a larger settlement then we orginally thought possiable. Mr. Leydiker personality and honesty made us feel comfortable and gave us peace of mind though out this difficult process. I would recommend Mr Leydiker to anyone seeking a lawyer.
