“Now that it is over I can attest that divorce can be an awful life experience. Carey was my second lawyer, I truly wish she was my first. She is very knowledgeable, approachable and put me at ease while she guided me through my journey. Saying this she was compassionate when it was required, she was diligent when it was required, she was a bulldog when it was required.
Should you ever be going through this process I would very highly recommend you contact Carey and let her put you in a place that you will feel cared for and protected. My words will not and cannot ever express my gratitude towards her and I will forever be grateful.”
- Client of Carey Leishman
“We had Enrique represent us for over 3 years in a very high conflict custody and divorce dispute. He was consistent and understanding. He would listen and always find the path of least resistance when trying to deal with the other side. There was frustration along the way, feeling like our hands were tied with no recourse, but Enrique would follow-up with all of our requests. When emergency issues arose, Enrique would make sure to contact us, even to go as far as answering an email on Christmas Eve – or when he was out of the country.
I cannot say enough good things about this man! If you want someone with a heart, knowledge and a soul… retain this man!“
- Client of Enrique Dubon-Roberts
“Carey is fantastic to deal with! She eased my mind and supported me while I was dealing with a stressful situation that I had never been in before. She is very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and makes you feel like an important client regardless of how busy she is. I would not hesitate to retain her again.”
- Client of Carey Leishman
“Enrique had my back when no one else did. He broke the law down for me and explained what was happening. I am now ready to move on and I am so glad I hired him. He’s a nice guy that knows when to push back. Highly recommended.”
