Mr. Leppard met this case as a challenge and met it head on, this is something you won’t find with other attorneys as they are normally more concerned with their win/loss ratio rather than the pursuit of truth or what’s fair. In the end my charges where REDUCED! There is only 1 lawyer I know of that will go to the mattresses for you in your time of need and that’s Joel and his team…Thank you for all that you do in all the counties in which you serve!! 👊
