Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I was moving through a very challenging time in my life. I am a very active person. I was in a car accident in 2013, I incurred injuries that left me with a permanent disability and not able to do the work I did that supported me my whole career. I was working very hard to get my life back and find employment. I was denied employment twice because of my disabilities. Kevin was AWESOME in representing me. He knew his stuff and everything he said would happen, happened. He is the best in my mind!
Attorney Leonard represented me at the hardest time in my life.Fighting the state of NH who blatantly broke the law with my lay off. Knowing they would not be held accountable, because they police themselves. Att.Leonard fought bringing into light the laws which NH admittedly continued breaking.NH loosing twice in court still appealing until, we beat them lastly in Supreme Court. Att Leonard always returned calls. With his ability to show truth for all to plainly see with his intelligence.
