Fantastic business lawyer

Steve Leasia has been my firm's corporate attorney for a couple of years now. He is incredibly knowledgeable and remarkably responsive. I value his strategic counsel as highly as his legal advice. On occasion, I've had legal needs out of state, and Steve has identified and introduced me to very capa...ble lawyers in the locations needed. I would give Steve my highest recommendation.

I highly recommend Stephen Leasia

Stephen Leasia is an exemplary lawyer in his field of business, contracts, Intellectual-property, and negotiating complex business deals. I have known Steve for over 30 years and his integrity and intelligence are highly respected by his lawyer peers and by the business community at large. One of Ste...ve's great skills is the ability to make very complex matters simple to understand for parties bogged down in confusion. He helps resolve the confusion which often helps dissolve disputes altogether. I believe that Steve is one of the most trustworthy people I've ever known and I highly recommend him to anybody seeking a lawyer for their business matters.

"Steve is my go-to for securities work. He has both the native and acquired intelligence to navigate the most complex transactions.

Relationship: Other

"I strongly endorse Stephen Leasia as a corporate and business transaction attorney based on several client business matters I have referred to him. Steve skillfully handled a complex intellectual property licensing agreement for a client with a web development business. The client was very happy with Steve's handling of the transaction and told me after the fact that Steve had been attentive, prompt, capable and smart and had done a great job of keeping him informed as the matter progressed. I recommend Steve without reservation and consider him to be an asset and THE choice when I need to refer someone to a lawyer for a corporate or business matter."

  • 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.
