Family law matters put your entire way of life on the line. We work vigorously to protect your pursuit of happiness.

Theodore “Teddy” Medlyn is an Associate Attorney at Leavitt Law Firm, where he practices family law exclusively. Teddy focuses on divorce, custody, guardianship, and CPS cases, offering compassionate and strategic guidance to clients navigating complex and emotional transitions.
Before becoming an attorney, Teddy worked as a first-grade teacher—a role that deeply informs his child-centered approach to litigation. His firsthand experience with child development, communication, and classroom dynamics enables him to advocate with sensitivity and insight in cases where children’s well-being is at stake. He brings a steady hand and calming presence to high-conflict custody disputes, always working toward solutions that serve the long-term interests of the child.
Teddy believes in resolving family law disputes collaboratively when possible. His practice is shaped by an understanding of psychological and relational dynamics, with a focus on helping clients heal, restructure, and transition into co-parenting or post-divorce life.
A graduate of the William S. Boyd School of Law in Las Vegas, Teddy earned his J.D. in 2016 after externing for Judge Richard Scotti. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Nevada, Reno, and received the January 2025 Pro Bono Award in recognition of his commitment to service.
Teddy brings both compassion and clarity to each case he handles. Outside the courtroom, he enjoys karaoke—drawing on his background as a professionally and operatically trained vocalist.
