Leupp & Woodall has been committed to providing strong and cost-effective representation to our clients since 1978.

We believe our experience, and knowledge of the local courts and area, allow us to provide the best possible one-on-one representation for our clients.

The firm is long established in Placer County - one of the fastest growing counties in the State.

When it comes to our clients, we believe there is no substitute for hard work, integrity and good old-fashioned service.

I have been in private practice in Placer County for about 25 years. Prior to that, I was a public defender in Placer County.

I handle a large number of felony cases in Placer and other neighboring counties.

What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

It can be helpful at times.

Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?

I will not assist in this, as I believe it is not a good idea in criminal cases.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

I will not assist, as again, I believe it is not a good idea in criminal cases.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

It was the only occupation that I ever seriously considered.

What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?

I have held many jobs; unskilled and skilled, beginning with farm labor at age 12.

Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?

I would rather help people than the government, and I like being in court.

What do you like best about your career?

I like cross examining witnesses.

Tell us about your law firm:

We have two other dedicated lawyers and three legal assistants, all of whom share my commitment.

What are your strengths and style?

I have a wealth of experience in many different types of cases.

I am aggressive when I need to be, but I am also a skillful negotiator.
