Leonard Cordeiro
Rehoboth,MA
Summary
As an attorney for the last 33 years, I have learned to build and manage a busy law practice dedicated to representing clients from all walks of life including those from the Hispanic and Luso American communities. I have proven success in building a large client network based on repeat and referral business due to client satisfaction and loyalty.
Now, I am starting a new chapter in my life where my family is moving permanently to Florida and am seeking to transfer my skill set into a new work environment where I can contribute and use my experience in a different capacity outside of the practice of law.
