Thank God For the Lipstick Bulldog
Leanne was actually my second attorney. After firing my highly recommended "Super Attorney", she was able to tell my story. I do not believe any other attorney would have been able to tell my story the way Leanne did, She poured her Heart and Soul into my case. I was a little apprehensive leading u...

Step Children Adoption
I have worked with a few different attorneys for my divorce, and my husband's custody case in CA in the recent past. I quickly learned from my experience with our attorney in CA how an attorney can attain financial success. My husband's custody case in CA took 18 months total, and once complete cos...

Attorney above the rest.
Professional from the beginning. This is an attorney that knows her business. I had heard of her reputation from others concerning her tenacity in the court room. No question about it. I would rather have her on my side verses as an opponent. I do not believe I could have been more pleased with the...
"LeAnne is a formidable presence in a Georgia courtroom and one of the warmest people you'll meet outside of it. Clients feel understood by her, and opposing counsel knows she comes prepared."
"LeAnne is a true advocate for her clients and a great member of our legal community. I highly recommend LeAnne as a domestic relations attorney."
"LeAnne, along with another lawyer, provided me with my first opportunity as a lawyer out of law school. I learned, in a short time, everything there is to know about a domestic law practice. She is a kind and caring person when dealing with clients and absolutely resolute advocate in the courtroom. She has high expectations of herself and her staff and I would recommend her for any possible domestic issue that you might face."
"I have handled numerous cases during the past 15 years with LeAnne as opposing counsel, and she has also worked with me as co-counsel on at least one matter. LeAnne always represented her clients zealously. She takes the time to develop a thorough understanding of the issues and facts related to her clients' cases. This might seem to be a "given" when you hire any attorney, but I can assure you that it is not. I must say that what most impresses me about LeAnne is her confidence in the courtroom and her thorough knowledge of the law. I endorse LeAnne for any family law matter."
