Judge Leasure is one of my two favorite Circuit Court Judges in Maryland. She is incredibly pleasant, open minded and respectful to all. She is very gracious with lawyers.

Avoid at all costs if you are a guy in divorce proceedings. You will loose your rights to see your children, and you will loose every dime you have, and you will loose all your future income.

If you are a gal she is your best friend and jump for joy, you have one the lotto. Your ex husband is now your slave!!!
