A dedicated lawyer in a time of great tribulation

Leslie is a great lawyer and was extremely helpful to me during a very unique case related to a foreigner who came to the USA from another country and who tried to take me for arrears to birth and other child support obligations for our mutual daughter. Leslie was great at getting the other lawyer ...to settle and to wrap up the dispute without having to go to trial and negotiated a fair settlement. She also fought hard for me to get child custody time so I could have adequate time with my daughter. Leslie has years of experience, and her level of confidence really helped me to trust her and to get through one of the worse times of my life. I appreciated her willingness to help me especially when other lawyers wouldn't even call me back. She was a Godsend to me and I highly recommend her to other people who need guidance through a family law matter.

Excellent

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 McLellen Brown is an excellent lawyer. She was kind, smart, very organized, and took the time to do everything cotectly.

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.

Very Disappointed

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!!!

Strong lawyer

When I needed A lawyer, I got a great reccomdation from a seasoned South Hadley Detective. He told me to call Leslie McLellan Brown. I have depended on her for the past 8 years. She has protected me in the court room with her great knowledge and expierience. She has also taken on the role of guar...dian and bodygaurd. She freed my children from an abusive situation, for which I will always be in her debt. I have reccomended Leslie McLellan Brown to 2 other families. She is tough and knows her way around the court.
