When I was injured in a motor vehicle accident, Mr. Leonick was recommended to me by an East Northport resident. He worked on my case from Day 1 and demonstrated a clear understanding of No-Fault proceedings. Mr. Leonick interceded with Insurance companies, Doctor's offices & Hospitals, Medical Records, and Private Arbitration over a span of many years. At no point was I ever in doubt of his expertise in dealing with my complex case. He was able to collect reimbursement for me as it came in, and we were able to successfully win a ruling 100% in my favor. Mr. Leonick is knowledgeable and thorough, accessible and professional. I know he put an exceptional amount of effort into the services he provided for me and feel any prospective client would benefit from his assistance.

I was lucky to have met and worked with Jim at the very beginning of my career. First impressions can be lasting, and I still remember all these years later, how Jim carried himself with professionalism, grace, and etiquette. Over the years I have sent numerous clients to Jim, including my own parents, and he has never let me down. Compassionate, patient and caring, he is also a skilled litigator with an eye on the big picture. Jim truly is the last of a rare and dying breed; in short, a class act. I would not ever hesitate to endorse Jim wholeheartedly.

Many thanks to the Leonick Law team for providing exceptional legal services on the Real Estate transaction of a home we inherited from our parents. Having this being the first home we ever sold Jim took the time to first explain the process, listened to our questions and concerns then provided advise. We had many obstacles along the way. Jim always had the answers and solutions. The first buyer cancelled last minute after after the sales contract was written and agreed upon, then an unknown "phantom" lien from a loan our parents had in the 1980's showed up on the homes title which we knew had to be paid off but the bank never recorded that with the county records. We had no paperwork to prove it was paid and a letter of satisfaction was needed. The title company wanted $100,000 placed in an escrow to cover 2.5 times the original loan amount. The Leonick Law team successfully pursued the old banks successor to produce a letter of satisfaction that the title company accepted allowing us to close on the home. I would say that effort was truly extraordinary. The typical legal fees to file such a case would have been many thousands and months to clear. This is the team to go with. As the home was in a trust Jim gave us advise moving forward on how to protect the sale proceeds. They really look out on their clients behalf. Truly a trusted advisor!

My grown daughter was driving my car & I was was a passenger when we were hit head-on by an unlicensed driver who had a history of driving while intoxicated & was unlicensed. The car was totaled. My injuries were significant, thankfully not life threatening, but led to a lengthy recovery period. After speaking with a couple of attorneys, I decided to hire Jim Leonick. I liked his approach & thought that he would be easy to work with & thorough. I made the right decision. Jim work diligently on my case and he & the firm's paralegal kept me well informed throughout the entire process. I was very happy with the resulting outcome of the suit. Although the insurance company dragged it's feet & were reluctant to pay out on their insured's policy, after working diligently, Jim was able to collect the full amount of the policy. Without question, I would recommend Jim Leonick.
