Posted by Erin | September 20, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Excellent! Highly recommend

I was in a relatively unique situation involving a car accident and was being held financially responsible, although I didn't believe I was solely at fault. I wasn't sure if it was even worth trying to fight. During the initial consultation, Mr. Leonard did a great job of listening, asking the right... questions, and informing me of all of the possible outcomes. He was also clear about what his approach would be, and I left feeling like I had a clear idea of how he was planning to proceed. I decided to hope for the best and hired him to handle the case. He kept me up to date on the progress of the case and did a great job communicating with me throughout the process. I was incredibly relieved and grateful when he won the case for me, as it saved me quite a bit of money. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Leonard to any of my friends or family, and would use his services again should I ever find myself in a similar situation (although I'll cross my fingers that never happens :-)

HIghly Recommended

Scott is a highly professional attorney who did a great job negotiating and administrating a pre-trial settlement for me. He provided courteous and well intentioned representation to both myself and the city attorney's office. Highly recommended.

Great lawyer, and great person!

Who says that lawyers can't be good people? The first time I hired Scott was for a traffic infraction that I didn't have time to deal with. He did a great job of keeping me updated and keeping me from having to be bothered at all by the process. The next time I called him, was for an auto accid...ent where the claim process was dragged out by the other person's insurance company forever. Mr Leonard again kept me in the loop without letting anyone involved bother me about any of it. I will never delete Scott's number from my phone and will never hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family.

Great Representation

Scott did a great job for me on two separate traffic cases - an illegal u-turn and photo radar ticket. In both cases, he represented me well which resulted in 'not guilty' result. I highly recommend him.

"Scott recently transferred an active litigation case to my firm. His file was in impeccable order and his trial preparation was flawless. I was able to pick up right where he left off and continue steering the client toward a successful resolution. Scott had clearly anticipated all potential issues with the case and worked to ensure his client was in the best possible position before heading into court. In meeting with the client, he had glowing reviews of Scott and was extremely satisfied with his counsel. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone in need of a litigation attorney."

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.
