I hired Jimmy Lefton upon a referral from a trusted colleague and friend. I was just starting into what I knew would be an extremely contentious divorce and wanted the best representation possible. To say I found the best person for the job in Jimmy Lefton is an understatement. Jimmy is the absolute best. My divorce has been described by multiple attorneys as "the worst case possible" for any divorce. The fact of the matter is that my divorce was the worst case possible - false police reports filed, false domestic violence charges filed, conspiracy to commit criminal acts, purgery, court ordered psychological evaluations that showed my spouse had severe emotional and personality disorders - pretty much the works. My spouse wanted full custody of our children, all of the marital and premarital property, and even my parents' trust fund. In her words, "You can have the kids every other weekend and maybe Wednesday evenings for dinner, otherwise we will just litigate." Not an easy situation to deal with when you are an exceptional parent, your kids love you to pieces, you love them more than anything in the world, and your spouse is attempting to re-write history, and attempting to take criminal legal action against you on fabricated charges. Jimmy kept me grounded through it all. One of his greatest attributes is staying calm, taking the emotion out of it (as much as possible), and making sure you achieve your end goals in the divorce. Although it was a difficult road, in the end, we ended up settling out of court - agreeing to exactly, to the letter, everything that I had proposed months earlier, and all fabricated criminal charges were voluntarily dropped by my spouse. Nobody involved in this case thought it would be possible to settle out of court. Everybody was sure it would be litigated. My ex-spouse and I are now even friends. I sometimes go over to her house and watch our kids while she's at work. All of the hate and contention and all of the miserable tension are almost all gone - which is a big benefit to both us and our children. An amazing turn of events on all accounts. I have found that divorce lawyers generally come in two flavors: cheerleaders and those who keep you grounded and tell you like it is, whether you want to hear it or not. Jimmy is the latter. He will tell you the realities of your divorce from the start, whether you like it or not, and do absolutely everything he can to do the right thing for you and your family. My divorce ended exactly where Jimmy told me it would months earlier. My divorce was "the worst case possible" and it ended in "the best case possible." Hiring Jimmy Lefton is a complete no-brainer.
My ex-husband and I were fortunate in that our decision to separate was mutual and amicable. However, working our way through the detailed negotiations raised complex issues, and our top priority was that we resolve them in a way that maintained our relationship and the calm environment that was helping our children adjust to the big changes that had happened in our family. Unfortunately, the first attorney I hired seemed determined to create tension and conflicts where none had existed, and I was devastated. As I searched for a different lawyer Jimmy Lefton was recommended to me, but after my previous experience I was understandably apprehensive. However, it only took a few minutes during our first meeting for me to be completely reassured. Jimmy is the perfect combination of professional, knowledgable, thorough, compassionate, objective and supportive. Most importantly, he truly listened to my priorities and respected them, while still ensuring that I understood every aspect of the issues we were negotiating. As an added bonus, he is a warm and friendly person, and a pleasure to work with. As a result of Jimmy's considerable efforts, my ex-husband and I finalized our divorce with us both feeling like we reached a fair and equitable agreement. And we are extremely grateful that Jimmy helped us maintain the amicable family relationship for our children that is so important to all of us. I am very happy to highly recommend Jimmy Lefton.
I have known Jimmy for a year now as he has handled all aspects of my divorce, one of the roughest I have experienced, winning the case with minimal damages at the end. He even keeps the other lawyer in check if they are on the opposing side, several times over the course of my divorce he swooped in like Zoro keeping things fair and professional. If you want to win the case or have minimal damages Jimmy is the lawyer to have in your corner. PERIOD! I highly recommend if you are about to divorce hire Jimmy immediately don't hesitate. Very thorough and knows which way to advise you based on his many years of experience.
Jimmy helped me navigate the hardest time of my life... rolled with every change gave me good advice and did everything I asked even if he thought I should do something different he gave me advice and pushed for what I valued. Never once made me feel like just a client and always answered every question thoroughly. Made this process easier than i believe anyone else would. I have the custody agreement I wanted and needed to give me the best chance to be the father I want to be. If you want a knowledgeable, Stern, patient lawyer that will push your values and make sure you get what you need he’s your guy. Felt very comfortable with him representing me. Thanks jimmy.
What can I not say about the guidance Jimmy provided me during my 4 year long debate/divorce. Things weren't going well in my marriage and a friend suggested I reach out to Jimmy and I did. We had previous history together, but not under these circumstances. He invited me to his office and spent well over an hour with me explaining the entire process. Jimmy was patient, as I attempted to save my marriage time and time again, till I knew it wasn't going to work no matter what I did, as it takes 2 people to make a marriage work. Jimmy offered to represent me and my interest and suggested for me to reach out to my wife to address all legal proceedings to use him to cut out court and legal representation fees as much as possible. Jimmy's goal is wanting the best for both parties during this trying time in our lives. She chose her own counsel which is fine. The thing that sticks out the most to me was his guidance throughout this process. Paraphrasing: "Tempers are going to flare and ugliness may come out at any point. You need to be in control of your response/reactions as best as you can, always! You only have one divorce and how will others remember it? It's important not only for you, but for your daughter. The both of you will be forever connected because of your daughter. Watch what you say and if you need to leave before you do something you'll regret, do it and call me, anytime. Your daughter and her mother will thank you when she gets older." Jimmy represented me well throughout the entire process when I was unable to attend court on certain occasions. I would recommend Jimmy to friends, family and even strangers who want to have a great aid/advisor during a challenging time. My divorce is complete and my Ex and I have a great respect for one another. We communicate regularly and openly as we put our differences aside and give our attention to our young daughter who needs both of her parents. Forever grateful to Jimmy Lefton Esq.
I hired Jimmy Lefton in the spring of 2016 for a post-decree modification. The other parent was very difficult, and sadly the legal system was the only solution. After many failed mediation and co-parenting counseling sessions, my case went to trial. It was nerve-wracking, but throughout the entire process, Jimmy assured me that everything would be OK. In the end, I won my case and have not had any issues with the other party since. Look no further than Jimmy...he's the absolute best!
I highly recommend Jimmy Lefton as an attorney. He listened to what I wanted and advised me on what was possible. He did not just tell me what I wanted to hear. Divorce can be costly. Jimmy made sure he was efficient with billing time and his response time to any questions I had was quick. At a time when my life seemed so out of control Jimmy provided me with these words " It is going to be okay, we will get through this". I cannot tell you the immense relief I felt hearing those words. He was right. Not only did he help me get through the legalities of it all he represented me with knowledge and integrity. Although I know I was not his only client I always felt as if I was.
I hired Jimmy to handle my divorce. Divorce is an awful thing to go through; even more so when dealing with a high-conflict ex who attempted to hide assets and provide false information in an effort to have things go in his favor. There were many things that I appreciated about Jimmy. He's very compassionate, understanding and logical. He really seemed interested in understanding my situation and extricating me from it as quickly as possible. Before dealing with the divorce, I was the type of person who had only been in a courthouse one or two times for jury duty. It's really daunting to think about and go to court. Jimmy's excellent grasp of the law means that he is able to explain the various court processes clearly, and he gives a good idea of what to expect. I think he would actually make a great law professor because of his ability to break down concepts that are unfamiliar to someone outside of the legal profession. Another thing that I really appreciated was that he seemed interested in keeping the process as cooperative as possible. I have no doubt that he would have become a more aggressive advocate, if needed. I never felt as if he was creating billable time and he has excellent support staff. Money very well spent. Thanks, Jimmy!
Jimmy did an excellent job on supporting my divorce case. He helped me keep costs low and was extremely supportive during the difficult divorce process. I was an odd case as I am a woman who had to pay spousal support and retained full custody of my son. Jimmy did an amazing job of keeping the support low and limiting the time that I had to pay it. He helped prove that although I was the major bread winner there was no reason for me to pay an unreasonable amount of support. I would recommend Jimmy to any of my friends and family that need legal counsel. Amy Ashcraft
I had the need for an attorney to represent me and my daughter’s best interest when my wife left us. After a lot of internet and person to person research I decided to meet with Jimmy J. Lefton Esq. At that initial meeting we had a meeting of the minds and I made my decision to retain him as “my” attorney. I believe that not only did I make a good decision but I have also come to believe that I may have retained the best Attorney in the greater Cincinnati area. He always makes time for me when I need him. He takes the time to listen to me and takes the time to make sure that we are on the same page when discussing and understanding my legal needs. He is clear and focused in and about his work. Jimmy does not avoid discussing difficult decisions as he guides me through until we are on the same legal page. I have listened to his sound legal advice and believe things have worked great for my daughter and me. I not only have a great lawyer but I have also made a friend. If you find yourself in need of good legal advice and representation I recommend Jimmy J. Lefton Attorney at Law. He is a man of impeccable integrity and credibility. Sincerely, Aaron
