“Leila was super responsive and helpful in advising us on a land dispute and preparation for a restraining order. She had a thorough understanding of the law involving our situation. If we have trouble of this nature again we will definitely contact her.”
“First time needing legal services and I knew from our first meeting, Leila was my lawyer. She combines all the skills and aptitudes you would ever want in a lawyer—knowledge, confidence, assertiveness but not too aggressive, collaborative, compassionate, and most importantly, responsive. Leila always responded to every question I had within a reasonable timeframe.”
“Leila not only represented me but fought for me and won all the critical elements of my case. I not only highly recommend her, she would be the first person I contact, should I need legal representation again.”
