Law Office of Lennie Gee, APC

Lennie Gee, I am not sure where to even begin. I meet Lennie after she was referred to me by a friend. I know Lennie has since retired but after reading some of the reviews below I was behooved to make sure everyone knew how hard she worked for me and my case. In fact, after 4 years If I didn’t have Lennie representing me, I surely would have not been able to regain custody of my children.
My case spanned 4 state lines, a military barrier as well as, at times having to represent myself in some states. Lennie and her staff made sure that every document had been prepared thoroughly, made sure every filing was made on time and in the right court, and followed up on every piece of my case.
There were several court dates after we were able to get after the case was successfully able to be transferred back to the state my children were stolen from. Lennie was thoroughly prepared, ready and argued each item with full knowledge of the law and case as it pertained to my children and my case. After 2 years in the court system here in California, custody was granted to me again and my children were safe and with me, their mother.
I have to say after watching my children graduate high school, college and now having my grand children this surely would not have been possible if it weren’t for Lennie.
So thank you Lennie G, i valued your work ethics, your time and dedication to my case and more importantly, you. Thank you.

After writing my review on her original listing this new listing appeared, so here it is again…
It’s unfortunate that there is not a zero stars option on Unilocal.
In my experience, avoid Lennie at all costs as she seemed to be all that you hope not to get when choosing a lawyer. I felt that she was unprepared (not only for court, but for meetings) has incredibly poor communication skills, and is potentially dishonest (get everything in writing!). If not dishonest, Lennie is, at best, forgetful of promises she makes. Additionally, while it may be legal, I wouldn’t consider it ethical to raise one’s rates nearly 15% in the middle of a legal proceeding, which happened to us.
My gf and I were recommended to Lennie by a lawyer that I had used in the past. Going into this there was one goal, which was to increase my gf’s custodial time with her son after her ex threatened to do the same. My gf was ADAMANT that she was only concerned with her son and was not looking for ANY money, but Lennie felt that my gf was entitled to alimony arrears and an agreement was made (or so we thought) that there would be no charge for going after those arrears unless Lennie was successful. No risk, right? Unfortunately the deal seems to have changed and the expenses racked up. Lennie even seemed to suggest that the increase in child support should be used to pay her exorbitant fees.
Fortunately, in the end the goal was achieved, based entirely on the incredibly poor choices made by my gf’s ex and not anything or anybody else.
It’s difficult to know someone else’s motives, but as I look back at my experience I see several occasions when I question whether or not Lennie did things that were in her best interests alone.
