What Our Clients Have to Say

Susan P.

★★★★★

Claremont, CA

I have used the Leahy Law Firm for several situations. First when I had to separate myself from a business partner gone haywire. Next, when I had to separate my business from a franchise that was heading into bankruptcy. Both of these issues were resolved by Alan Leahy in the best manner possible.

Next, I used the firm to start a Limited Liability Company (LLC). The associates at the firm were top notch and knowledgeable and were able to get the LLC formed in a matter of days, as we were in a time crunch.

Just recently my business (and I personally) was sued by a former landlord, and Alan Leahy represented me. Alan was able to obtain a settlement I could agree to and was extremely happy with.

I have also recommended The Leahy Law Firm to a non-profit organization I am involved with, and Mr. Leahy represented it concerning employee issues to the organization's satisfaction. The organization now has The Leahy Law Firm on retainer for consultation and any future issues.

I truly cannot express the trust and confidence I have with this firm, and will continue to both use and recommend it whenever the need arises.

Tustin, CA

I was referred to the Leahy Law Firm by a family member after requiring some legal advice. The initial phone call I made reassured me I made the right choice by the office staff's knowledge and courteous demeanor.

After speaking with Alan in person I was confident choosing him for representation based on his level of expertise in the matter.
