Gregory Leyh began his solo practice in 1999, building a career centered on using the law to protect vulnerable clients. He noted that technology has given lawyers more time to focus on strategy than managing paperwork — enabling better work and a more balanced life.
After the 2008 housing crash, Leyh spent eight years representing more than 100 Missouri families facing foreclosure, offering free consultations and winning the largest wrongful foreclosure judgment in Missouri history in Holm v. Wells Fargo.
His firm later pivoted to low-income housing, suing Kansas City landlords who collected HUD subsidies while providing uninhabitable apartments. That effort yielded a $52 million judgment in Fuentes v. KM Realty 8, LLC — the fifth-largest bench trial judgment in the United States in 2020 — followed by class settlements of $2 million in 2023, $1.9 million in 2024 and $5.85 million in 2025. Leyh leads his small firm by giving lawyers meaningful challenges and treating failure as a teacher.
