Excellent services and advice was provided. Leah was very professional and helpful throughout the whole court and legal process. She had great communication and was always keeping us updated on new developments on our case. Leah was also very responsive, answered all our questions, and worked hard for me and my case.

I retained Leah and Dan when my son unfortunately had a DUI. They were both kind, knowledgeable, thorough and personable. They truly care about their clients. In addition, they were always reachable for questions and support. I would highly recommend them if you have an unfortunate situation.

If you find yourself in need of an outstanding criminal defense attorney, look no further than Leah. I chose the one with all 5 star reviews with an office located across the street from the Van Nuys court house. I figured she might know people there which could be a good thing. When I called her with my issue, she was out of the office as her daughter was having a baby. I left a message (crying hysterically) on the voice mail. She called back within 10 minutes and kept me on the phone until I could get set up with immediate face to face help (with her partner in the office). I could literally hear a baby crying in the background. Maybe she was in the delivery room? So the baby and I were BOTH crying--me from the mess I got myself into, and the baby for more obvious reasons. I went in that same afternoon to speak with her legal partner, Mr. Melnick, and they immediately began to work on my case to ease my nerves. They are very good with anything psych related. She went to court--over and over again, without settling for anything less than a dismissal with some community service. This was no easy task as it was a very delicate, difficult, embarrassing, case which had to be presented with kid gloves. This lady knows how to seamlessly deal with the client, DA, and judge while developing rapport in a most sublime way. It would have been in her favor $ and time wise to settle (sooner) as she does not get paid extra money when this is drawn out as it was--but no, she really does care about the client, and drawing this out eventually helped to get this dismissed. I sweat bullets for months and I know it was not easy for her, either, but she is too kind to admit it. She is calm and cool, always maintaining a positive, professional demeanor. When I thanked her, she said, "No need, I love doing this sort of thing". The fact that she apparently has lots of children probably works in her favor (as well as the clients) since she understands all the complexities that one can have and how a mostly good person can get into a legal snafoo. She is anything but judgy. Lastly, Leah actually saved my life. I was ready to jump off the cliff at Universal Studios (although I would never admit to such a thing) because I literally saw no way out when I called her. How she knew this, I don't know. Why she would stay on the phone with me when she was on leave for the birth of her granddaughter is beyond me as well. That said, if you find yourself in a desperate situation, give this lady a call. She may even save your life as she did mine:)

I came to see Leah hoping to get help after getting into my second DUI, she was very straight forward with me and went over all the possibilities of my case with me. She's so kind and always kept me up to date on everything that happened at court. I was very pleased with her hard work and dedication. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for representation.

Where can I start. Well Leah first of all helped us out with the starting price of hiring her , we didn't come up with the full price but she still accepted it. She accepted my girlfriends case and completely got her the best deal. That completely lifted a weight off of our shoulders. I really, we really appreciate your profession and helping us when we most needed it. Once I get asked for a lawyer I'm going to make sure they know about Leah.

Leah is an honest and hardworking attorney who will go above and beyond to help her clients. I cannot say enough about her and the immense help that she has provided me with. I was misguided by my previous attorney and Leah reassured me that while she was "not guaranteeing anything" that she will do everything that she could to help, and she did. I moved to Northern California and she made the trip from Los Angeles so that she could represent me. Her fees were definitely more affordable than my previous attorney, and when you meet her you'll now that she is someone of good character values. I am very grateful for her services. I highly recommend her because she is someone who will do right by her clients. She definitely deserves 5 stars and more.

I had some immigration issues and was not sure how to handle them. I contacted Leah Legal and couldn't be happier with the way everything was handled with courtesy and professionalism. Definitely worth your time!

You may hear that a lot around here, but I know from meeting Leah that she is knowledgeable and reliant when I needed legal advice. Would recommend her for anything and to anyone.

Leah worked hard on our kid's case. She always promptly returned calls and kept us informed. She was willing to meet with us whenever we asked including nights and weekends. I felt as though she really cared about my kid. She stated to me "I became a lawyer to help people and not to become rich". I believe her because we had a complicated case which required numerous lawyers. She was the least paid but seemed to work the hardest of all and was the easiest to get a hold of. While our case didn't go exactly as we hoped for I'm not sure anyone could have done any better and probably most would have done much worse. Leah always listened even when our frustration about the legal system would boil over and that perhaps is what made her the best attorney for our case.
