      I've been represented by the Law Offices of ****************** Leving for over two years. I initially didn't want to hire a firm solely focused on Father's rights, because it seemed like a gimmick. However, after my initial intake with *****************, and after meeting my other attorney *********************, I realized that this firm hires extremely competent, well-respected attorneys. They were able to get some significant wins in my case by transferring and consolidating the venue of an order of protection, and ultimately getting rid of it after it was transferred. They have represented me on 2 emergency motions trying to restrict my parenting time, and in both instances we prevailed. Les is a killer when it comes to oral arguments, and I cant say enough good things about him. **** drafts my written motions/responses and ** always impressed at the high attention to detail and concise logical arguments he comes up with. The only warning I have to anyone considering hiring this firm, is that you need to read your contract, and these guys arent cheap. But if you can afford them, its money well spent to ensure you can have quality time with your kids, and that your rights are protected, especially if youre in a very contentious divorce.
