Ms. Leger ws selected for inclusion in 2004 Thomson Reuters Texas Super Lawyers by Texas Monthly Magazine, only five percent of the lawyers in the state were selected.  Ms. Leger won a gender discrimination lawsuit in Federal court against a local county. She represented two female sheriffs' deputies who were not re-hired after a new sheriff was elected. The county appealed the verdict which was upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In 2005, she represented the widows and children of three men who were killed in an explosion at a BP/Amoco plastics plant in Augusta, Georgia. After two days of what was expected to be a two-week trial, BP/Amoco settled the case to her clients' satisfaction.
