I have used several other lawyers in the past due to ongoing custody issues. Rebecca stands out above the res; she is very knowledgeable in her field and is up front with what to expect and what options there are. She is extremely professional, responsive and gets the job done. During depositions and trial, she is thorough and focused. In the courtroom she's sharp and quick. I have recommended her to other people in the past and will continue to going forward. I trust her and she is worth her price, especially with complicated legal matters. When it comes to family matters, i feel confident with her as my representative.

I used Rebecca Leonard on two (2) separate occasions for a divorce and then eight (8) years later, for obtaining custody of my daughter. While it is not ideal to be in these situations, it was good to know that I could count on Rebecca Leonard and her firm to represent us in a professional, strategic, compassionate and fair manner as the outcome of the transfer of custody was successful. I would strongly recommend Leonard & Finley to anyone who could use her services.

Rebecca was a wonderful attorney, she stated the facts and didn't beat around the bush. She made sure we understood what was going on, what would happen during the whole process. She returned calls promptly and emails, it was refreshing working with her in very difficult situation. {para}She knows the law well and was very helpful in making sure we understood our rights.

Mrs. Leonard was very honest with her opinion on our legal matters. She tells you exactly what is going to happen and never promises anything that is untrue. There have been stories shared about attorneys that promise the world and cannot deliver. Ms. Leonard told us what we needed to do and when we needed to do it so that our position was always in our best interest as well as our children's. She definitely goes to bat for your team and puts everything she has into it!

Ms. Leonard was extremely helpful in resolving property issues with my former spouse. She was very responsive to my calls and emails. I would recommend Ms. Leonard and her firm to anyone seeking help on any family law matter.

While the office personnel was always friendly and courteous, Ms. Leonard was very difficult to reach and rarely returned phone calls. At one point she even advised that I was just not a priority. I was left without direction and guidance much of my case (before, during and after) and felt she was unwilling to fight for me on any matter. The amount that was spent has placed me in a considerable financial bind while I received very little, if anything, that was favorable to me in the end.

FRAUD! CORRUPT! She is a great example of why people hate lawyers. she lies destroys lives. She will take your money do little work and ask demand more. What she does will cause trauma to the child's life.

FRAUD! CORRUPT! Bottom-feeder that should lose her license. The most unethical attorney in Kansas City! She is a monster. Every positive review here is written by the people that paid her BIG BUCKS to destroy their ex-spouse.
