About
Leonard is a highly experienced trial attorney who has an extensive criminal and civil litigation background. His talent is making the legally complex simple to understand and telling your story in a compelling way to get you the very best results possible. Winning your case means having an end game in mind and Leonard is always planning for that end game. As an aside he is also an excellent marksman and does not pass up the opportunity to go shooting. Sadly, his shooting skills have never helped him win a case. Back to the legal stuff. While Leonard is passionate about the criminal law and civil rights issues, what drives him is getting the very best results he can in any given situation. Working towards the best achievable outcomes for his clients is his goal and the focus of his practice. He is best known for thinking outside the box and coming up with creative ways to solve complex problems for his clients. Leonard lives in Salem with his wife of twenty-nine years and his twelve-year-old son (an avid boy scout). After law school, Leonard’s wife made him promise to use his powers for good and not evil. Leonard is committed to that promise and will do the best job he can for his clients. When he is not in the courtroom he spend time with his son who is a boy scout.Leonard started his career as a prosecutor on the Oregon coast. It was during his time as a prosecutor that he became well known for his expertise in criminal law and search and seizure law. Leonard’s career took off as he was recruited by the Police Academy to lead and deliver cutting edge training to law enforcement. Missing the courtroom, Leonard joined the Trial Division of the Oregon Department of Justice as a senior trial attorney litigating the most serious civil suits against the State of Oregon. After becoming the Attorney-in-Charge of the Torts and Employment Section of the Trial Division, his litigation team achieved an unmatched trial success winning twenty-two trials out of twenty-three. Leonard believes that the Government should at all times treat people fairly, within the bounds of the law and leave them with their dignity.

Leonard was professional, responsive and kind. I received great counsel from him and got the feeling that he cares about people. His knowledge helped get me through a tough decision that required legal expertise.
Leo is great. He fought for my family. DHS is a very complicated agency. It's good to have someone on your side. Thank you.
Leonard was professional and efficient. He explained things well and everything was set to go. The procedures at his office were very Covid-19 informed with masks, barriers, and social distancing. He is a very intelligent and forthcoming attorney.
Mr. Williamson helped answer all my questions and was quick to take my case head on. Explained all the posibilities but also put my mind at ease with his confidence in my case. I will be using him in the future and would recommend him to others.
Leonard Williamson recently represented me in legal separation case, and I'm not sure what I would have done without him. He was compassionate, thorough, and determined to protect me legally. I received a very fair settlement, and would be very comfortable recommending him to anyone.
Have had several business related legal issues resolved in a very positive and successful manner. Highly recommend!
Leonard Williamson and office provided me with the best representation for my divorce proceedings. They not only provided legal advice and counsel but support and guidance beyond legalities. Quite plainly put I believe that they made what could have been a debilitating situation something that I did not face alone and was able to get through and come out better for it. I cannot imagine having gone through my situation with any other representation.
Leonard is an excellent attorney. I was having tremendous issues and being harassed at work. Leonard was extremely caring, efficient and trustworthy to work with. He helped me navigate the legal aspect of employment separation and my rights. Without Leonard my employer would have taken advantage of me and quite possibly bullied me into prematurely quitting or even terminated me. I highly recommend Leonard to anyone who wants an attorney who will fight for you and give you proper legal advice.
I went through a rather strenuous and prolonged divorce due to my ex-husband. Things got messy and complicated, but Leonard stuck with me through the whole thing, was there when I needed him, and did an outstanding job giving advice, strategizing, and delivering in the court room. We won my case, and Leonard kept it real the whole time. He actively listens, he gives you the truth, and he’s proactive. He has a great network of colleagues and external resources that he utilizes as well. Hands down, this guy and his law firm get the job done.
