About Leigh
Biography
While at the Knox Law firm in North East, PA, I concentrated my practice on elder law, estate planning & administration, family law and real estate. I am Collaboratively Trained in family law matters and am a member of both the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and Collaborative Professionals of Northwest PA.
Following my graduation from law school, I practiced at a small firm in Memphis, Tennessee. Subsequently, I operated my own general practice firm, served as an adjunct professor at Gannon University, and worked as a real estate broker and settlement agent in the local market.
