I wish I could give Steve 10 stars! I used him for two property transactions, a sale and a deed transfer, and Steve was friendly, efficient, no-nonsense, answered e-mails and calls almost immediately even on the weekends, and was very reasonably priced. My brother and parents used him as well. I highly recommend him!

Truly an honest man, he will not bullshit you and he'll let you know if he can be of assistance. He was down to earth and gave me great advice, I wasn't expecting to get transferred to the lawyer and when I was I did not expect him to give me advice! I couldn't believe that he didn't try to sell me, but told me it would be better that I stick out my situation because suing would not result in any benefits for me and would be a waste of time. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Richard is an uncanny lawyer in that he breaks the mold. Indeed, he is unlike any lawyer I have ever met and hired.
He is a man of impeccable integrity and will not look to take advantage of his clients in any way. He is honest, an attribute which cannot be said of many practicing lawyers in the field. Alas, most lawyers are proverbial sharks who care little about their clients, whose only allegiance is to money and power. Not so with Richard, who always puts his client’s interests first and foremost in mind.
Richard is intelligent, can often cite the law by memory, and well connected. His level of professionalism is incomparable and anyone represented by this man should count their blessings. Richard offers counsel that is accurate and he is highly responsive and responsible. He is immensely respected in law circles, and I was amazed by those who admire him for his community leadership and civic contributions.
I recommend Richard without reservation. I would recommend him without hesitation for anyone requiring an expert in business and criminal law.
The world would be a much better place if it had more attorneys like Richard. He is a saving grace for anyone seeking his honest services.
If you have an interest in working with an honest attorney who will do everything in his power to help you resolve your legal challenges, then Richard is your man. He has a heart of gold and you can be rest assured that he will do his very best while representing you.
Richard is the ultimate professional attorney who gives credence to the field of law. He is a credit to society and will work hard to fight for you.
Seek his law services. He will never, ever steer you wrong.

I had a great experience with the Law Office of Malcolm S. Lavaud. From the very beginning, Malcolm and his team handled my accident case with professionalism and care. They walked me through every step, ensuring I understood the process while keeping me updated.
Malcolm made everything stress-free, from dealing with the insurance companies to helping me with physical therapy and paperwork. He fought hard for my settlement and got the best possible result for me. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and I always felt like I was in good hands.
If you’re ever in an accident and need someone reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, I highly recommend Malcolm S. Lavaud. I’ll definitely send anyone in need of help his way!

The Law Offices of Steve Leunes have worked with my family on several real estate transactions that were seamlessly consummated, which was possible due to Steve's responsive nature, real estate acumen, strategic mind set and professional demeanor.
Steve is extremely knowledgeable and his attention to detail, in my opinion, allows him to mitigate circumstances that at times may delay a closing unnecessarily.
I am not a betting individual, but if I were to place a bet, all my chips will be placed on Steve to win.

Marc is an intelligent lawyer and a man of class and success. Fair and just, he knows what is right. And he lawfully fights for you, aggressively yet passionately, day and night. In the beginning, he openly took and handled my case with the utmost of confidence and respect. After word was out that I was involved in a catastrophic auto accident, He came to visit me in the hospital and introduced himself. There was a man observing me, dressed in beautiful light brown shoes and wearing a nice suit. I felt that God had sent me another angel. One who had kept me alive and another (Mr. Albert) who made certain that The Law will compensate me for my pain and suffering. With a positive outcome, he greatly exceeded expectations. The man is responsive and empathetic. The man is accommodating, appreciative, and attentive. The man is a professional and knew what I needed to see and hear throughout the whole legal process. Thank you, again. You have done more than enough to make me feel whole again. I am beyond thankful to have worked with you, and for the work that you’ve accomplished. I know that I am not the only one who feels this way. May you continue to rightfully compensate and bless many more hearts. He is best.

I was involved in a automobile accident, and I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from Marc S. Albert and Mr. Ramy. From the very first consultation, they showed genuine compassion, professionalism, and an in-depth understanding of personal injury law.
Marc S. Albert’s expertise in handling auto accident cases was evident throughout the entire process. He meticulously gathered evidence, negotiated aggressively with insurance companies, and ensured that my case was handled with the utmost care. His ability to secure the best possible outcome was truly impressive.
Mr. Ramy was equally outstanding—always responsive, patient, and committed to guiding me through every step. He made sure I understood my rights, answered all my questions, and provided the reassurance I needed during such a stressful time.
Thanks to their dedication and skill, I received a settlement that covered my medical expenses, lost wages, and more. If you need a legal team that will fight for your best interests and ensure you get the compensation you deserve after an automobile accident, I highly recommend Marc S. Albert and Mr. Ramy.
