Called in to speak with an attorney had to leave my info. The law clerk told me someone would respond, I called the next day to inquire about a call back gave them my name and phone# this law firm lost all my info and was extremely rude to me for no reason then hung the phone up on me. It's possible the Attorneys at this firm don't know what their receptionists are doing perhaps this will help them, do yourself a favor avoid this firm.!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Michael at Leonard trial lawyers. He represented me in a very serious federal criminal matter related to healthcare. He went above and beyond my expectations as a criminal defense trial attorney. He explained and walked me through every step of the process of what to expect at the trial.
He is extremely knowledgeable and absolutely amazing at what he does!!! He was readily available to provide legal advice and guidance when needed. Mike was compassionate while working with me but tough in the court room fighting those prosecutors. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, driven, knowledgeable, caring attorney. Right from the very start of preparing for the trial til the end he worked diligently and very hard day and night. It was a tough battle and the jury returned a verdict in my favor of Not Guilty on two Counts. Mike without a doubt is the best trials lawyer who helped me through one of the toughest times of my life.
Once again Words cannot justify the outstanding service, professionalism and excellent results I received from having Mike Leonard as my defense attorney Highly recommended!

What I realized early when depending upon Mike as a defense and plaintiff's counsel (2013-2018) was the importance of being referred to him by those who knew him best-other attorneys. Indeed, just like identifying a physician specialist in a particular field of medicine, we depend upon physicians we know and trust to make the best referral to a professional they respect to competently serve our needs.

Although Mike faced a bevy of well financed attorneys, my confidence in our cases was justified after experiencing the tough, well prepared, direct depositions Mike ran; as well, to see how he utilized his knowledge-and court experience-to push those attorneys back on their heels. With Mike, the outcome was never in doubt.

After five arduous years, the other side, having come a long way from their initial claims, suggested a meaningful settlement conference--to pay us. Frankly, I do not know how many attorneys would have had such staying power.

Mike was an incredible partner during my federal criminal trial which resulted in a not guilty verdict on all three counts. He was always keeping me in the loop and diligently prepared for trial. He is the ONE doing all the work to prepare for which made me at ease and confident that he will know all the details of the case. His ability to command the courtroom, maintain the attention of the jury, all with a firm but friendly and approachable demeanor was incredible to watch. Even those that watched the trial came up to me and complemented him: "Wow, Mike's Great!". I could not have asked for a better defense attorney than Mike, he truly cared and believed in the case he was presenting.

As a former general counsel, I had the privilege to retain Leonard Trial lawyers for several litigation matters, all of which resolved favorably due to Mike Leonard's representation. Mike Leonard and his team are the best of the best. Mike is a relentless advocate, a brilliant strategist and a superior tactician both in the courtroom and out. I give Leonard Trial Lawyers my strongest possible endorsement.

Michael has great communication skills. He listened to our concerns carefully and informed and advised us thoroughly without the condescension I have felt from previous attorneys.
He kept us up to date on developments and responded to our calls quickly. He was empathetic to our situation and made us feel like our outcome was the highest priority. Thank You for the great outcome!
