I don't even know where to being on how amazing Leah and Mandas Law is. Divorce is hard enough on its own, but when you have kids in the mix, it's a different level of painful. I went into this thinking I needed the toughest attorney I could find, someone who'd fight and help me "win." Looking back, that's not what I needed. I needed someone who could handle the legal stuff AND help me hold it together through one of the worst chapters of my life. That's exactly what Leah and her staff did.
Leah is tough when she needs to be, no question. But she's fair. And she always, always puts the kids first. I watched through opposing counsel how some attorneys just pour gasoline on the fire to run up their billing, and honestly, it's disgusting to see. Leah is nothing like that. She's also a registered Guardian ad Litem, so she actually understands how kids' voices get represented in these cases, not just in theory, in practice. If you have children, that matters more than you'd think going in.
What got me most is that she never manufactured drama just to drag things out. She was honest with me, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. She pushed for real compromise instead of endless fighting, because at the end of the day, everyone loses something in a divorce. The faster you can find common ground, the less it costs you, financially and emotionally.
And I have to mention Sandy. Every single time I called, upset, anxious, whatever, she asked how I was doing and actually meant it. She listened. When you're in the middle of something this stressful, having someone on the other end of the phone who genuinely cares means more than people realize.
Vicky handled my financial affidavit and didn't miss a thing. Finances are already stressful without adding a divorce on top, so having someone who knows that side of it was a relief. And you want a firm that has people that specialize in these target areas versus having your attorney manage it all at their bill rate. That matters more than you can imagine when you initially look for an attorney.
If you're going through a divorce and you're scared, exhausted, or just don't know how you're going to get through it, please talk to Leah. She is getting me through the hardest chapter of my life with more strength and compassion than I knew was possible. I will never be able to thank her and her staff enough. And I will say this. If you came across this review you should book a consultation with Leah before your spouse does. Some people you just want in your corner versus the opposing corner. read more
