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 .

Amazingly Talented Attorney...

George Leary, is a dedicated, hard working, client-centered, knowledgeable and, better yet, affordable attorney that I couldn't recommend more highly than I already do. Thanks to a financial downturn in my company I relocated from California to Florida on short notice without resolving a set of traf...fic violations that turned into a suspended license, warrant for my arrest and fines and penalties totaling thousands of dollars. Following just a few phone and email exchanges with George, he was able to get the warrant rescinded, most of charges dismissed or consolidated and the fines reduced to a fraction of the original total and my license reinstated. And, he did it all from 2,500 miles cross country without even initially having to meet me face-to-face until the case was fully resolved. So you can imagine what he can do for his local California clients. If you have any kind of legal problem from a suspended license, warrants, DUI charges to drug or other misdemeanor charges that he specializes in, George should be the first call you make. Trust me, it'll be the only one you need to make. Thank you again George for helping me get my driver's license and my life back!

Great Attorney

Mr. Leary was exactly what I was looking for as a client. Being an out-of-state client, my case required some extra work and cooperation on his end. He was extremely patient with me in getting all the right documentation to court without me having to actually appear, which saved me a great deal of st...ress and money. I hired Mr. Leary for a traffic violation and he was extremely knowledgable on the subject. He clearly laid out my options and was very realistic with me. I was happy to see that he was not giving me false hope and I knew exactly what to expect going into every situation and circumstance. There was not a single time that I questioned Mr. Leary's intention, dedication, or consideration when it came to my case.

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.
