I’ve worked with Robbie Leonard several times now. I highly recommend him. Robbie is fully committed to his clients. He goes above and beyond to be accessible and available, and ensures everyone’s questions are answered clearly and completely.

I wish I could give more than five stars. Robbie Leonard has been truly amazing and generous. He is everything you want in a lawyer: honest, intelligent, well-prepared, and most of all, cares about his clients. I highly recommend his legal expertise and will be happy to discuss my experience in more detail upon request.

Thank you for defending my son. Mr Leonard took the time to get to know my son and he handled my son’s case with accuracy and was very professional! If anyone is looking for a great attorney I would highly recommend Mr Leonard and his firm

This organization does wonderful things for women. Thank you.

My son has been abused for 7 years now because of fraud started by this organization because of my perceived political views as a Republican Exposing Corruption: A Call for Accountability in Our Courts For over seven years, I have witnessed and personally endured unspeakable corruption and fraud that has not only undermined my rights but also eroded trust in our judicial system. This is not just about my case—this is about an organized effort to weaponize the courts, funded by taxpayer dollars, to destroy innocent lives. It all began with Irene Smith, an attorney from the Women’s Law Center and a Baltimore City State's Attorney. She has manipulated the legal system, spreading lies and weaponizing false allegations against innocent men. I have undeniable proof that she fabricated charges against me, setting off a chain of events that have devastated my life and my family. When I uncovered the fraudulent charges she orchestrated, Laurie Ruth, another Women’s Law Center attorney, stepped in to protect their organization at all costs. She used her influence to ensure the judge in my case repeatedly violated my constitutional rights. The lies propagated by this group resulted in my son being taken away from me—an innocent father—based entirely on falsehoods. The corruption didn’t stop there. I was illegally forced to shut down my businesses, plunging me into financial ruin. I was jailed for allegedly violating an unlawful gag order—despite clear evidence proving my innocence. These actions have not only ruined my life but have also set a dangerous precedent, showing that anyone can be victimized by those willing to abuse their power. This isn’t just my story. Many other victims of the Women’s Law Center have come forward, each with harrowing accounts of how this organization weaponized the courts against them. Their strategy begins with filing false protective orders, which open the door to grant money to fund their cases. From there, they overwhelm their victims with taxpayer-funded resources, knowing most people cannot afford the legal fees to keep up. In court, they manipulate the atmosphere by bringing in individuals to pose as supporters for the false victims, further skewing the process. Despite these blatant abuses, many within the system—judges, state attorneys, and commissioners—know what’s happening but remain silent, unwilling to create "bad blood" or risk retaliation. Judge Mary Reese’s story stands as a cautionary tale of what happens when someone dares to speak out. Now is the time to demand change. With new leadership in the Women’s Law Center, we have an opportunity to hold these bad actors accountable. We must call on the new director to investigate these egregious actions, prosecute anyone who has broken the law, and restore the integrity of our courts. This fight is not just for me or my son; it is for every family that has been torn apart, every life that has been wrongfully destroyed, and every taxpayer who deserves a judicial system they can trust. Together, we can expose this corruption and ensure that no one else suffers the same injustice. Join me in this fight for accountability. Share this story. Demand action. Let’s bring this corruption to light and reclaim our courts for the people they are meant to serve. Take action today. Contact your representatives, demand transparency, and insist on justice. Together, we can make a difference. Please follow my story on my Facebook page Sifu Tim berkemeier and check out some of the videos on this youtube page. https://youtu.be/BaZiAC1ZfFk?si=qdCH5ULj3-kpNPgd There is so much more I wish I could share but I can't now for security reasons but stay tuned the full story is going to be released soon in a documentary. If you have been a victim of this organization please reach out to me

Great team they will fight for you until the very end. They were very informative, transparent and kept me up to date about case they called, text or email me. Looking for a lawyer I highly recommend Leonard & McCliggott Law group.

If you need real help, turn here. From start to finish Rob Leonard was there for me. Can't recommend highly enough.

I can't fully express how thankful I am for this organization. I was facing a protective order hearing that filled me with fear and anxiety. When I reached out to the Women’s Law Center for help, they got back to me the very next day. Today, I had the privilege of working with Marissa Caceres in court. She is an exceptional and hardworking attorney. As this was my first experience with a protective order hearing, she took the time to explain the entire process, met with me beforehand to go over everything, and when I was called , she presented my case clearly and confidently. I admire her dedication in gathering all my evidence and building a solid case for me. The women’s law center does good things for people. The negative comments are misleading. Thank you for helping me gain peace in my life.

Highly recommend Leonard & McCliggott Law Group! While I didn't know if I need legal representation, Robbie has on more than one occasion answered questions, pointed me in the right directions, and shared resources related to my needs. I trust that the Leonard & McCliggott team provide superior legal representation!

Robbie was absolutely phenomenal after I retained his firm. He was extremely diligent and informative throughout the entire process and very responsive! I couldn't have asked for any more from him or his firm. I plan on moving my business dealings over to his firm as well beyond the personal services he excels at.

Thank you Mr. Leonard for your help. This is the best law firm in Maryland.
