Keri, it was an honor to be able to help your son. He is a good kid that got caught up in an unfortunate set of circumstances. I am certain the best is yet to come for him.

Excellent lawyer!

I got a DUI while visiting CA. Leigh went to court on my behalf, and took care of everything. She got my charges reduced, and I never had to travel back to CA! She wrapped things up quickly and efficiently, and was always available to answer my questions. And I had a lot! I am so glad I hired her!

Dui

Leigh was supportive. Returned phone calls in a timely manner. Represented me where I never had to show up in court. Was able to reduce my sentence to 3 months instead of 6. Gave the right resources to contact to carry out my sentence.

Outcome of my case.

The out come of my case was so much better than I excepted. I was facing up to four years in jail, Leigh Fleming kept me out jail. I paid one fee for her service. Leigh genuinely cared about me.

Very professional and accessible

Attorney Leigh Fleming did a wonderful job getting my charges reduced and settled quickly. I would not hesitate to hire her again. Honest and reasonable.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
