Leving Fought for Client’s Liberty and His Future and Won
By Laura Reichel
An Illinois man’s world was turned upside down when his ex filed a Petition for an Order of Protection against him, falsely accusing him of physically assaulting her.
Facing deeply damaging allegations and fearing for his freedom, he turned to attorney Jeffery M. Leving for an advocate who would stand beside him and fight for his legal rights.
The Leving legal team fought for him and won.
The judge dismissed the Petition for an Order of Protection, protecting the client’s liberty and his reputation.

Attorney Jeffery M. Leving will talk about this powerful court victory on his weekly radio show, the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. CDT Saturday, October 31th on Power 92.3 FM. The show will be available for download on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour Spotify page at dadsrights.com
His ex’s petition accused him of physically assaulting her and much more. For this man, the petition was more than a court filing. He came to attorney Jeffery Leving facing deeply personal accusations about his conduct and character. These serious allegations threatened the client’s future and liberty, as violating an Order of Protection is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail in Illinois.
Terrified, he turned to Leving for help. Attorney Leving assured this frantic man that the Leving legal team would fight on his behalf.
The Leving team challenged the petition and fought for their client in court. They won. The judge dismissed the Petition for an Order of Protection, securing a powerful outcome for a man who had placed his trust in the Leving team during a difficult chapter of his life.
This court victory modified for publication was a powerful reminder of why the Leving team’s work matters. When clients turn to the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd. facing serious allegations, they entrust them with more than a legal case. They turn to the Leving team with fears about their future and the hope that someone will stand beside them. The Leving team stood beside this man when he needed help. The dismissal of the petition against him marked the successful conclusion of a fight that gave this client the opportunity to move forward without fearing for his freedom or reputation.
Attorney Jeffery M. Leving’s commitment to fathers, children and families extends beyond the courtroom. On Saturday, October 31st, attorney Leving will speak at the Black Star Project’s 30th Anniversary Celebration at the historic South Shore Cultural Center. His presence at this milestone event reflects his dedication to championing fathers, strengthening families and helping create a brighter future for our children.
