    Danielle Rudley

  • Recently got rear-ended with not very good insurance. Out of all the firms I came in contact with, Leo & Oginni Trials were the only ones able to take care of me. They were very understanding and flexible and did not charge for a consultation. They were able to answer all my questions. Was not treated like an average client, more so like family! If you ever need the right attorney this is the best law firm you could come too. Most attorneys just want your money, these ones right here just want to help. These 2 men are so genuine.

  • This was my first time ever experiencing hiring an attorney in any form of situation.

    1. This firm made me feel very important in my decision making while giving me advice that would put me in the best possible position.

    2. One thing I also love about them is there availability.

    3. The person that was assigned to my particular issue never sold a dream to me but gave me honest facts that would lead me to the best opportunity in the situation I was placed in.

    4. This firm is very detailed. They walked me through everything and explained every possible outcome through each decision they suggested.

    I highly recommend hiring them. Their prices were more than reasonable and their professionalism was unmatched.
