Leslie McLellan Brown

I was so lucky to have Leslie represent me in my divorce. I came to her after almost a year with another lawyer that continuously missed deadlines resulting in contempts filed against me and additional conflict with my spouse and her attorney. I met with Leslie and explained my situation. She agree...d to take over my case had everything cleared up within a month and spent the next 5 months diligently representing me. Leslie is professional, knowledgeable, and prepared. She went above and beyond to help me settled an extremely contentious divorce. She was able to divide the financial and custody issues into two separate issues. Leslie worked diligently to find equitable solutions. She offers personal representation and she really cares about her clients. She educated herself on every aspect of my case and proved to be much better than my ex’s attorney from a big, expensive law firm in Springfield. I highly recommend Leslie Brown.

Leslie McClellen Brown is an amazing lawyer. She did so much for me during my recent divorce. She kept me informed at every step. Everything I had questions about she adressed and gave me a say in how I wanted things to go. I truely felt like I had a friend by side through the whole process. There we...re many curve balls thrown my way during this as can be expected during a divorce, but with Leslie's expertise and calmness mixed with some strong determination to do what is right, everything worked out fine. Divorce is s confusing and very complicated process, so I would enthusiastically recommend Leslie McClellen Brown for her expertise and compassion and professionalism.

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.

Lawyer was difficult to contact. She often confused my case with someone else. The estimate that she gave me for what it would cost to resolve my case was way off as was the resolution. The results were terrible, not at all what she led me to believe they were going to be. I felt that she was tot...ally intimidated by the opposing attorney. She acted flustered when she was in court. She also had me do one thing that was incorrect and which, in my opinion, resulted in the horrible outcome. She did not act like someone who was really knowledgeable or on top of her profession.
