Memories

Mary L Ford: Defender, singer, poker player, mother. And you made her face alive!

Tom Nosal: My Lawyer , who Matt Ford referred to me and she won my case and got me outta hell

Caren Schoenberg Sandler: I miss her and think about her often. Poker’s not the same without her and either am I

Susan Boss: Our lawyer for the art business. Loved her.

Karen J Andrade: Leah and I were part of the same stalwart group of CPCS public defenders for years. Overworked and underpaid (as I’m sure PDs still are) she was a true fighter for justice.
