Replied last February 28, 2022Keri, 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.
