As a fellow attorney, I can attest that T&K is one of the premier matrimonial and family law firms in the Capital Region. The reputation of these incredible women amongst lawyers and judges all across the Albany area is extraordinarily high, and very well deserved.
That reputation led me to retain Leyla Kiosse when I needed help with my own divorce. She proved to be understanding, tough and extremely efficient in getting me a very favorable resolution. Divorce and family law cases can be emotional, but Ms. Kiosse has an even-tempered approach that allows the case to get to the finish line when heated tempers threaten to derail it.
I read a negative review here about Ms. Kiosse, and it seems like that disgruntled client has missed the point of having a lawyer's help in the first place. The truth is that you want a lawyer to tell you the truth, even if that truth is uncomfortable or not what you want to hear. Leyla Kiosse is that kind of lawyer; she'll fight for you tooth and nail, but she's not afraid to tell you where your case is weak and where you need to compromise. In the end, that approach will always get you the best results for your money, and it sure did in my case.

Leyla Kiosse is extremely knowledgeable, fair, compassionate, and kind. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney who demonstrates the utmost professionalism and expertise in her field.
I could not disagree more with the review posted by Yasmine.
Overpriced and overrated. Leyla Kiosse mostly talked to me like I was an ignorant idiot and then when it actually comes to helping you, she doesn't really actually "help" you, she just helps herself to your money. Save your money and go elsewhere. They don't really care about their clients here, they just pretend to (and very badly, too.)
**To Colleen and Matthew: I’m so sorry, I had no idea that charging someone $300 for a first-time consultation and then asking for $3000 upfront for a total charge of $7500 for an uncontested divorce from a pathological lying, negligent, mentally and emotionally (as well as financially) abusive fraud of an ex-husband whilst talking to me like I was a nuisance, a burden and a waste of her time is considered being very “professional, compassionate, fair and extremely knowledgeable”.
Also, next time you want to bash someone else (whom you’ve presumably never even met and know nothing about) and their honest review, you might want to try actually using two different accounts instead of the exact same one :). Posting actual pictures of yourselves might also help, too.
I left an honest review so that others might actually be forewarned before getting themselves in the same situation. You “both” just left reviews to belittle me. Thanks, though, goes to show my initial review was an honest one if she actually knows people like you :).
