Visitation

I am the father of two little girls. I wanted to see my daughters, but their mother kept making it harder and harder while also asking for more and money. I did not want to hire a lawyer hoping we could work it out. I went to a few lawyers before I found Leah. Each asked for thousands of dollars be...fore they did anything and I did not know if I could take time off work to make the appointments. When I first spoke with Leah she made me feel comfortable right away. She explained my options. She was very knowledgeable, clear and patient. She also offered weekend appointments so I did not have to take time off work and lose money. I am so glad I went with Leah. I now get regular visits with my daughters.

Misdemeanor hit and run

Leeah always made me feel confortable and confident. I was able to trust her and feel at ease very quickly. I felt like she was always on top of things and she left no questions unanswered. She was patient and understanding. Thank you.

Excellent Attorney

Leeah Fontaine assisted me with a court case a few months ago. I really like the fact that she was very responsive and knowledgeable she would answer all my inquiries every time I asked questions and if she didn't know the answer she would research the matter and would get back to me right away. Sh...e is a professional lawyer. She made me feel comfortable since the beginning.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
