Pleased to be a part of and know integrity abounds in the legal field of Fort Worth. Bob Leonard and those that work with him are generous, kind and hard working. They are a pleasure. The office is clean, well lit and welcoming. They are using up to date and friendly technology. They offer multiple ways to communicate with them and often do so 24/7.

Probate - Everything up until now has gone well. I am going to have to hire another attorney to change the name on house deed that got really messed up. The attorney was able to correct the issue with the name on the deed - which I truly appreciate.

I called this Law Firm to ask a question and Barbi gave me some very good pointers on what to say. Like MAGIC when I called the very rude person at the facility back where my brother stays. With just what I was told to ask by Barbi I got the answer I couldn't get just moments before. Now that's Service with a smile. Thank you Barbi & Bob Leonard Law Group

I have been a probate and estate planning client . The knowledge, professionalism, and friendly staff cannot be beat. Both of my adult children have been clients , as well as several of my friends and acquaintances, due to my enthusiastic referrals. They have been quite happy as well. And, if I had a family matter, I would definitely use the Bob Leonard Law Group, just based on my past experiences.

Ripoffs! Stole hard earned money from my family. Promised to help my family if we hired him and paid him $5,000 upfront. We paid the $5,000. They did nothing but bill us for more money. They never filed anything. Total crooks! Run from this firm. All lies and no action. They are sure good about talking you out of $5,000 upfront but lay down after getting it. Be careful, in their contract they will put a lien on your property if you don't pay their bill. This is a scam to take property form hard working folk who are going through morning the loss of a family member looking for an attorney to trust

Bob Leonard is a crook! Totally unethical. Bob told my family he would represent us on my great grandmother's estate. Once he received the $5,000 he demanded upfront he filed nothing as promised but ran a huge bill up asking for more money. He did nothing he promised upfront before receiving the money. DO NOT TRUST this man. He is a ripoff. We are reporting his actions to the State Bar for disciplinary action.
