Criminal Def

This last comment lacks context and is a bit snarky, itself. Adding this comment to counteract. Leah is a great atty. Actually I hear she is the top 187 atty in Santa Clara Ct.

Unprofessional

Very rude lawyer with an attitude problem when talking to victims in court. Being aggressive, snarky, and throwing your hands up at me and the judge? Really unprofessional when you're losing your case and can't maintain composure.

I can gurantee she's worth it!

Ms Leah is truly an amazing attorney! After searching and consulting with attorneys, none have made me feel I was listened to and supported me. Leah is very passionate, compassionate, and very sweet! She keeps informed and returns your calls as soon as possible. Talking to her never made me rushed an...d she took the time to really sit down and talk to me. Although she may be very down to earth, she is a fierce lion in the court room and makes her point across! I HIGHLY recommend her. If in the future I need legal help, she will be the first one I call and go too!

#1 Agressive Criminal Attorney

Thanks to Leah, my son is home with NO criminal record!! I was scared and desperate, not knowing where to turn. Leah came highly recommended. Leah has a sweet appearance but she is a pit bull in the court room. Leah does not sugar coat anything, she is honest and forthcoming and kept everything confi...dential. Leah kept me informed every step of the way. Leah worked hard to have all charges dropped and today my son does not have a record!! The possibilities of my son's future are endless. If you are looking for an aggressive Criminal Attorney, Leah Gillis is the one! I am eternally grateful to her.
