Excellent and honest lawyer

Mr. Ledford had a free consultation with me which we discussed all my options regarding my case. His responses were very direct and honest regarding my questions. He didn’t make any promises to me about my case; he just told me the facts, and gave his counsel on what he thought we should do. I highly... recommend Mr. Ledford if you want an honest lawyer that has good communication skills.

Review in regards to Mr. Ledford’s work

I am very pleased with the work that Mr. Ledford was able to do for me. In a tough situation, Mr. Ledford was able to get my case dismissed due to his very hard work and knowledge in the field of law. Without him, I don’t think I would feel the same way that I do today. Mr. Ledford is a great guy to ...work with as he gave me updates on my case right after court or when something new was discovered. Whenever I had questions Mr. Ledford was always there to answer them which was very helpful. I can’t explain how grateful I am to have had the chance to work with Mr. Ledford not only because of what he did for me, but because he was very easy to talk to and also very respectful.

Personable and Highly Recommendable

I was completely satisfied with the legal representation I received from Mr. Ledford. I found him to be very competent, knowledgeable, and professional. I appreciated him appearing on my behalf, yet keeping me well informed of the progress of my case. I myself would have no trouble calling up...on him again in the future and I would certainly recommend his services.

Criminal defense lawyer | May 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have both opposed him on a criminal matter in Butte County when he was a Deputy District Attorney there, and had informative collegial discussions with him after he had left that office and opened his own private law practice. I have always found him knowledgeable, congenial, honest, able to appraise both sides of a case realistically and dispassionately, and a loyal and effective advocate. I believe he has always striven to serve every client with excellence in every case he has undertaken, and will continue to do so."

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.
