Leslie McLellan Brown

It is such a shame the way divorce lawyers take advantage of people during a difficult time. You would think that with Leslie's experience and the # of divorce cases she has had during her career that she would know the law by now!! She tried to tell me that I still had to cover medical insurance for... my soon to be ex-husband once the divorce was over (NOT TRUE and I proved it to her by an email from my Employer that they do NOT cover ex-spouses) Leslie also MADE me hire a GAL which cost me an extra $2500 (each for both me & my ex so a total of $5k) which she didn't even use at trial (Must have been a friend of hers!) AND she also tried to tell me that I HAD to split my 401K 50% with my ex which I didn't think was right & fought it in trial and thankfully won due to a good judge that understood my case better than my own lawyer!!! So don't let her tell you what the law is, fight for what you think you deserve......the judge may surprise you. Take copies of your own paperwork or Leslie will charge you to copy and it's not cheap for her to run her photocopier and keep track of what you give her because she may ask again for it when she can't find what she needs. Oh yeah and let me also mention that I also receive paperwork regarding another case of hers so there was privacy breech also. Not worth the $15k but I'm happy that I did a lot of my own work/research and the judge got it!!!

Leslie is an excellent advocate who has helped me with various family law matters. As my lawyer, she constantly kept me informed via email and mail. She is (and has been) very responsive to my emails and phone calls. She is a seasoned lawyer and very respected by all the Judges and the Court Staff.... She is definitely an expert and can manage all types of clients. She is able to work with pro se clients and is very patient with opposing clients who are difficult to deal with. Because of her, the parties have more clarity and do not have to come back to court as often.
