What our clients say about us.
Leolaw handled my property dispute with exceptional professionalism. Their team was thorough, responsive, and delivered beyond every expectation. I felt truly supported every step of the way. I cannot recommend them enough.
I was overwhelmed navigating the legal system alone. Leolaw stepped in and made the entire process clear and manageable. Their attorneys are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about their clients' outcomes.
Built over decades. Trusted by thousands.
From a two-partner firm on Manhattan's Lower East Side to one of New York's most recognized legal practices.
Partners Michael Phillips and David Reeves established Leolaw in a single-room office in Lower Manhattan, taking on their first family law and criminal defense cases with a commitment to client-first representation.
Leolaw secured a $14.2M verdict in a complex corporate fraud case at the time one of the largest civil judgments in the Southern District of New York establishing the firm's reputation in high-stakes litigation.
Following rapid growth to 80+ attorneys across four practice groups, Leolaw was named to the New York Law Journal's "Go-To Law Firms" list and opened its second office in Midtown, specializing in real estate and business law.
With over 1,200 cases won and a 98% client success rate, Leolaw received the AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell and was ranked among the top 10 personal injury and criminal defense firms in New York State.
