About Leo

          I have 34 years experience as a real estate attorney.  My goal is to provide my clients with peronal attention to their legal needs in an expeditious and cost-efficient manner.  I have worked as a mediator and arbitrator, so that I am an experienced negotiator, and am capable of facilitating a settlement that meets my clients' needs.  At the same time, however, I zealously provide aggressive representation when that is what is required to best serve the clients' needs.

          I pay particular attention to maintaining communication with my clients.  Telephone calls are returned to the client the same day, or at the latest, the following day.  I am reachable every day of the week and at any time, even in the evenings, to respond to my clients' needs.

      Review Leo Siegel

      Just a quick consult for a tenant/landlord dispute

      Posted by

      Leo gave me a call back, a day or two after I left him a voice message requesting his assistance for a consultation. In just 10 minutes, he gave me better advice than any other attorney I had consulted. He was quick to look up the municipal code ordinances I cited, helped me understand the law, and gave me clear options on what my best/worst case scenarios were. He helped me in 10 minutes, make a clear decision on a matter that was consuming me for two weeks. He didn't request money for the consult, and didn't push me to go to court. He advised me towards making a smart decision for my wallet and my mental health. Thanks Leo.
