Top Notch Attorney-at-Law!

George was helpful in my Criminal Law Court Case, keeping me informed with the appropriate information every step of the way. I always felt in the loop and with that came a feeling of comfort and safety in working with such an intelligent lawyer. He represented in the best possible light and got me o...ut of a sticky situation without much more than a scratch. This guy knows what he's doing and does it at an affordable price! Go with George, you won't regret it!

Great Rate for an Excellent Lawyer

I recently hired Mr. Leary to represent me in a DUI charge brought on by the State of California. The day after my arrest I was beyond stressed out and reached out to him to represent me. This initial call not only put me at ease but was incredibly informative. It was a no brainer from there to hire ...him, and this was a great choice on my part. Simply put Mr. Leary was always available to discuss my case when I reached out to him, was very informed of the charges and without fail could explain to me in terms that I understood what was going on. His commitment to my case was undeniable. I would recommend his services to any member of my family or close friends as I was nothing but extremely satisfied by his services and rate.

Review of George Leary

I consulted the services of George Leary for a charge of unlicensed driving. He explained every step of the process thoroughly and made the process virtually pain free, addressing any concerns I may have had along the way. I did not have to go to court and the charges were ultimately dismissed.

Above and Beyond

After moving out of state, I found out that I had an old case that needed settling. Mr. Leary was incredibly helpful in coordinating court dates, contacting the required parties, and organizing/conveying all relevant information to me immediately; all to a successful conclusion of the case. Mr. L...eary was always available for any questions I had, and on the dozen or so occasions when I contacted him by phone, I was able to reach him directly without any delays. On one occasion he even returned a call from me while he was on vacation, explaining that he didn't want me to worry while I waited for an update on my case! In the final court date of my case, Mr. Leary went to present my fine payment to the clerks office only to find out that the fine amount was more than they had originally stated. Instead of having to delay the resolution of the case, which would have been an incredible inconvenience and source of worry for me, Mr. Leary generously paid the remaining balance of the fine out of his own pocket. Even though he was quite sure I would repay him directly, how many lawyers would do that for a client... especially one 3,000 miles away? In short working with Mr. Leary made this difficult and confusing situation, both bearable and ultimately achievable. Many thanks and the highest regard for his professionalism and compassion.
