OUR EXPERTISE

This is how we work

What our clients say

“I just wanted to start by thanking Kelsey and Mitchell for your support both in and out of the courtroom and while it should be a given, it isn't with everyone and I would like you both to know how much I appreciate it even from something that may seem small like meeting on a different level and checking on how I was getting home. You both helped make really awful circumstances a little more bearable. Thank you!“
AK
“Hi Catherine, Many thanks for your summary of our discussion and next steps. I just looked you up on LinkedIn. The Divorce Mastermind, I love it! I wish I had had someone like you from the beginning to be not only knowledgeable about the law, but also strategic and practical. I could write a book on what I’ve experienced and how one should do it differently.“

Linda Tudori was patient, understanding and thorough. She was such a good communicator and was always forward thinking. Barely a few weeks after working with Linda, I knew I had made the right decision in choosing Leach Legal. Marnee was so efficient and meticulous and made me feel so comfortable through the process. I am eternally grateful to Linda for the peace of mind I now enjoy!
