I cannot imaging this process with out Bart Leonardi. I was scared, confused, stressed, and grieving. Mr. Leonardi immediately put me at ease. He took time to explain everything to me in a way that I could process the information at a time I was really vulnerable. He worked tirelessly to make sure everything was clear and completely meticulously. He listened to what I wanted and needed and did the most amazing job at supporting and guiding me. He held my hand through one of the most stressful and difficult times of my life. I am beyond grateful for him. He did everything he could to maximize the outcome for our family. Mr. Leonardi had my complete confidence and he immediately lifted a huge weight from my mind. Every step of the way I knew exactly what was going on, communication was constant, and every step of the way it was clear that I was working with the best!

For the first time our family needed the help of legal counsel. This was a very stressful time for us and Mr. Leonardi and his legal assistant were available to us at every step along the way. Whatever legal situation you find yourself in I would recommend Mr. Leonardi.

As busy as he is I truly felt like he made me a priority. I live out of State and he helped me with everything regarding my Mothers Estate. He Had her house sold in 30 days, was able to ship all of her items to me in Arizona and was frequently communicating with me, helping me with my financial needs, and making the entire process as smooth as possible.

Bart is a terrific estate attorney and probate specialist. He has been our trusted counsel for many years. I highly recommend if you or someone you know is looking for a professional in either of these areas of the legal field that you contact Bart for a consultation. Thanks so much Bart for all you do - We appreciate you and your team most certainly.

My brother, who lived in Cleveland, recently passed away in Scottsdale, AZ. As the executor of his estate, I live in Naples, FL. After consultation with another attorney, James Bart Leonardi came highly recommended to me as a Cleveland area lawyer who could administer his estate for me, no matter how complicated. After meeting with Bart, I felt very comfortable and was extremely confident in his abilities. Bart handled everything seamlessly and exceeded my expectations at every turn. The process has been very smooth and very quick. Bart has been very proactive on protecting the estate and looking out for our best interests.

Bart is an excellent attorney, and has helped my family create our wills, powers of attorney, and our trust. He's been incredibly patient as he guided my husband and I through the process of establishing these documents. Bart is very accessible by email and phone to answer any questions we've had, and we are very pleased with our ongoing experience with him. We would highly recommend Bart!

My wife and I solicited Bart's services to help write a will, living will and healthcare power of attorney. We had met with attorneys at a few big firms and found them to be too expensive or unwilling to lean down their offering (we were not looking for complex estate planning work). After doing some research, we decided to go with Bart and were not disappointed. Bart was very professional, diligent and customer oriented. He listened exactly to our needs, provided sound advice and never pressured us into something we didn't want. He took the time to explain the importance and implications of what we were signing and charged a very fair price for his services. I would recommend Bart to those in the market for Probate & Estate Planning services!
