"When a close friend called to tell me he lost a family member in a terrible car accident in South Florida, I knew his family needed aggressive local counsel that would pursue every possible avenue for them. I traveled to Miami with my friend and his mother to talk with several firms, and almost instantly this family was impressed and comforted by Ira Leesfield and the firm. Ira pursued every possible avenue, and ended up recovering more compensation for this family than we had ever expected."

"The decedent, who lived in Florida, died in an auto accident. I called Ira Leesfield, with whom I had served on the ATLA National Board of Governors. The firm was able to negotiate an excellent settlement within a year. What was more gratifying was our client's impression that her case was an important matter and that they really cared about her family's loss. No higher compliment can be paid to any trial lawyer. We clearly had made the right referral."

George T. Sinas, Lansing, MI

"My firm is very fortunate to be associated with Leesfield Leighton & Partners in a catastrophic automotive product liability case, in Miami-Dade County. I have known Ira Leesfield for many years.

Peter R. Masciola, Washington, D.C.

"What a pleasure working with the Leesfield firm as always! Most trial firms I have known over the years do not do half the preparation for trial that this firm does just for mediation. They could not have worked harder, been more committed or achieved a better result in Stuart's jury trial here in Key West.

My thanks to Ira, Tom, Pat, Liana and the entire Leesfield firm for an outstanding job."

Richard M. Klitenick, Key West, FL

Effective teamwork requires seamless communication, and, in my experience, few work harder at that than the attorneys at the Leesfield firm."

"The firm of Leesfield Leighton & Partners has proven itself to be a premier trial firm with premier attorneys.

I would not hesitate to trust this firm with a referral and I have absolute trust in their ability, ethics and honesty."

Gregory G. Jones , TX

"I want to thank the attorneys at Leesfield Leighton & Partners for the outstanding job done on the 'moped' case I referred. Not only are 'moped' cases not well received by juries, but one could suggest that a substantial amount of fault rested on our client's shoulders. I was kept fully informed during the case, and the resulting settlement immediately before trial substantially exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the case did not languish. It was completed within a year of my referral, and that type of timeliness is hard to come by with most firms."

William Harrell, Jacksonville, FL
