Commercial Landlord Commends Attorney Kimberly Leding for Swiftly Regaining Possession of Property from Holdover Tenant and Avoiding Costly Commercial Eviction

“Thank you for your steady hand at the tiller! Without your wisdom, guidance, advice and responsiveness we would still be at square one, looking at months of delays until closing. As my sisters husband, a retired Delta Airlines 777 Captain from North Carolina told her, you’ve been on this case ‘like a pit bull on a pork chop’. You are the best and it’s been a genuine pleasure working with you. Thanks for all that you’ve done!”

Kim Leding Wins Mechanics Lien Dispute for Client

Kim Leding, a partner at PLP Law Corporation, recent won a Mechanics Lien settlement on behalf of our client in his dispute with a large company. As a result, he recently posted this review on Kim’s AVVO.com profile. Reprinted here with permission:

Kim Leding is an Exceptional Attorney!

Kimberly Leding is an awesome attorney, FULL STOP PERIOD! From our initial consultation, I found Kim to be extremely knowledgeable of the type of case (a release of a Mechanics Lien) I presented to her for help. She was very open with me as she explained the facts, concerns and issues of my case. And, her fee was reasonable.

She was also always prompt with updating me on the status of my case. She never left me wondering as to what’s going on. My legal opponent is a large company. However, Kim swiftly and deftly resolved the case 100% in my favor. She is a legal warrior! I will, and have, recommended her to my friends and business associates.

If in the future, I find myself needing an attorney, I will not hesitate to seek her representation. I wish I could give her 10 stars!

Decades of Quality Legal Work for Our Business from PLP Law

We have used the Poniatowski Leding Parikh Law Firm and have known Mark Poniatowski for over 20 years; we are extremely pleased with the legal advice we have received over those years. The staff is professional, easy to work with and dedicated in protecting our interests. Many of the issues we have asked assistance for are outside “credit/collection/recovery law” and the results have been just as successful. Without the help of Mark and his staff, we know that we would not have had the successful outcomes we have had. We certainly appreciate the knowledge and support received through this law firm.
