Great Traffic Lawyer!

George answered my frantic call on a Sunday! He resolved my old traffic issue that turned into a "failiure to appear" due to change of address and notice not getting to me --- within a week or so. He was professional, calming, warm and very responsive and communicative. Cannot recommend him more high...ly .

DUI Criminal Law

George Leary was recommended to us from friends of friends in law. A friend of mine and I needed legal advice with regards to a DUI. This was actually my friends third DUI so we really needed solid legal advice/guidance. George was professional from the first meeting and carried his word throughou...t the process. He is honest, factual, realistic and very helpful. He always responds quickly whether its via email or text which is extremely re assuring when you are going through a stressful process. I highly recommend George and will continue to use his legal expertise moving forward when needed. He is extremely knowledgable of the criminal process with regards to DUI's and he won't sugarcoat anything. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients and cares about their well being. His knowledge proved he has immense experience in this field. I have also called on George for other legal advice and if its not within his scope, he recommends another well respected attorney. I can't say enough about how much George helped my friend and I and we are both beyond grateful.

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.
