Hired Attorney Leonard F. Lesser

We were in safe hands with Len. His representation, through arbitration and litigation, was excellent. He’s smart, strategic and effective. With experience in an impressive range of matters and sectors, he quickly grasped the complexities of our business, the dispute and parties. He masters information and thinks quickly on his feet. His agile mind is an exceedingly effective tool in court and set him apart from opposing counsel who was left to vamp in response to the judge’s questions. Len is masterful in direct and cross-examination of witnesses and his recommended expert witnesses were spot on. He’s adept at articulating the facts, defending client rights and eviscerating opposing counsel’s intractable antics. At every step, he offered thoughtful, pragmatic advice and effective representation. We consider Len and his associates valued members of our team and when someone truly earns your respect, as Len did, there’s something very special about achieving positive outcomes.

Hired Attorney Leonard F. Lesser

Len was absolutely fantastic. He achieved a great outcome in a complicated case by arguing it in the most eloquent manner I've ever seen. He knew the facts thoroughly and, as a result, was quick to respond convincingly and with precision to any challenge. His approach was very commercial; he understood things his adversary did not and was always ahead of the game. Very impressive, and I would really love to work with him again.

Hired Attorney Leonard F. Lesser

I highly recommend Len Lesser for any commercial dispute. He successfully won a challenging commercial lawsuit, demonstrating his sharp legal mind and tenacious approach to the case. Not only does he bring an exceptional level of expertise and dedication to his clients, but his rates offer tremendous value compared to other similarly skilled legal professionals. If you're looking for a smart, capable, and highly skilled lawyer, Len is an excellent choice.

Hired Attorney Leonard F. Lesser

Len provided exceptional legal representation in a complex arbitration matter that spanned several years. Throughout the process, he demonstrated outstanding preparation, a deep understanding of the legal and factual issues, and a strategic approach that ultimately led to a successful outcome. Len was not only highly skilled but also cost-effective and efficient, ensuring that our company resources were used wisely. His clear communication and professionalism made the entire experience much smoother. Len is a true trial attorney and not just a litigator. I highly recommend Len for anyone seeking top-tier legal counsel at a fraction of the price of Big Law litigators.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
