Top Notch

Mr. Leoni is one of the best in the business. While working with him, I found him to be very thorough in his investigations and extremely detail oriented. I quickly learned that he cares about his clients and fighting for what's right. He has a knack for understanding situations and empathizing with... his clients needs. I'm very thankful to have him on my side. He is truly a master of his craft. I highly recommend him for any type of legal representation.

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.
