Michael really came through for me in my time of need. He handled my case swiftly and professionally. His staff was courteous and very helpful. They answered all my questions right away. I would certainly use Mr. Leader services again in the future if needed.

I've never met a compassionate lawyer like Micheal. Me being a single father, Micheal made sure I was not taken away from my son. Not only he takes pride in his work, but Micheal also cares for his clients (Unlike most lawyers who attempts to use the "fear" approach on their clients to get what they want or to fork over more cash). Michael kept me informed and up to date with any occurrences regarding my case. He is honest, confident, and comforting. Being wrongfully accused, Micheal fought hard for me and was able to have the injunction vacated and handled the criminal charge. I'm proud to say having Micheal to represent me was the best decision I've ever made!

Michael Leader and Anita were not only amazing, they were kind. I can't say enough good things about them. Michael calmed me multiple times throughout my DUI case and even took the time to call me more than once to make sure I was ok. We went to court yesterday and won. I am 100% certain that if it were not for Michael I would have lost. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Both he and Anita are wonderful people and excellent at their jobs.

Michael Leader is an exceptional attorney with great professionalism. I was referred to Michael through another attorney as I reside in another state. I had to rely on Michael’s word initially as the conversation was over the phone and a decision had to be made quickly under the circumstances. The situation I was in was the most difficult and trying time in my life and I needed the best, someone who truly cared, listened and someone with integrity as this person would be representing me. I did not ever think I would be in the circumstances I was in, but I was and all I could hope for was for someone to treat me as I would treat them. I am truly grateful that Michael and I crossed that path and he represented me. He is as genuine as he comes across as. He fought as hard as I hoped he would and never gave up with all the challenges we faced. He kept me informed with every possible detail and always did what he said he was going to do, even if it was as simple as calling me back. I put my trust in him and relied on his experience to help me through the trying time and he did not fail. Michael has the high standards I look for in a professional and would definitely recommend and utilize his services if needed again without thinking twice. Thank you for all your hard work and continue to do exceptional work!

When a family friend was in trouble, he was quick to help and they were always there to answer all our questions. Great service and tons of experience! If we ever need a lawyer in the future we know where to go, and I'd definitely recommend him.

Michael has represented many of my family and friends. I am not sure how he does it but somehow he manages to get incredible outcomes in each and every case. He is not the least expensive but far from the most expensive which actually surprised us. Based upon his experience reputation and results we originally expected him to be much more expensive than he was. Definitely not for those that are bargain shopping but I doubt there is anyone else that you will get as much value from in terms of the fees he charges compared to the work and results he regularly seems to deliver. He and his staff were always honest. straight forward and helpful to us in each and every manner he has assisted with. Do yourself a favor and don't get fooled by the guys that promise similar results for deeply discounted fees. In our experience before meeting Michael very few lawyers delivered on their promises or even seemed to care about our case once they had our money. By contrast, Michael never stops fighting and repeatedly goes above and beyond. This is an easy choice. Leader should be your go to guy.

Mr. Leader was so caring helpful and honest with us throughout our ordeal. He never stopped fighting and his skill and ability really seemed to exceed most (maybe all) the other attorneys we so in court all of the times we were there (and there were a lot of other lawyers we so handling cases). He got us a great outcome and is truly a top notch lawyer that you can trust and rely on. He will not make you any promises about how your case will turn out but that is one of the reasons we trusted us....he was one of the few that did not seem like he was trying to sell us on something and did not want to make representations that he might not be able to deliver on. Everything he did tell us he stayed true to his word on.

There is no one who has cared about my life and believed in me when wrongfully accused. I may have to keep doing the right thing and see to it that my judgment doesn't hurt me. I will spend more time on the review after I get more time. Just wanted to make sure he gets the props as the best criminal lawyer in Fort Lauderdale.
