Outstanding attorney for medical malpractice case

Leslie Nixon was referred to me by a local seacoast attorney. He gave his highest endorsement. Throughout my case, Attorney Nixon provided timely input on my case, handled my deposition with exceptional care and she brought in the right experts to assist with my case. After reading her deposition... of my former physician, it was abundantly clear why they quickly agreed to settle the case. I would highly recommend Attorney Nixon.

Very professional & direct

Leslie Nixon was linked to my case as I happened to be working in New Hampshire when I was ejected from a vehicle while the driver fell asleep. I live in Maryland and would have to make trips up north in order to proceed with the case. The communication with her team through the entire process was ex...ceptional. Her assistant Nicole requested and pushed information to me as they came and I feel that even though she wasn’t the original lawyer that I began the case with, she assessed what happened to me very well and was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the case. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law really shined through when I first went up north for my deposition and I felt with I was in great hands as she directed me what to do and not to do, as I’ve never been in the deposition process that lasted for over 4 hours!! I absolutely endorse Leslie Nixon to represent your legal needs. I thank her so much for helping me win my case and move forward with my life!!

Steady Guidance

Leslie was recommended by a local law firm from upstate NY to handle my brothers wrongfull death/ estate case in New Hampshire, she did a excellent job. A sudden tragic death within a family is so jarring but she was able to give a compassionate steady guidance through this complicated process to h...elp bring it to a close. Her and her team were always accessible and easy to communicate with. Thank you for all your help

Thank you

I have been working with Leslie since 2016 on a work compensation case which included multiple denials however with Leslie’s professionalism, her vast knowledge my cases were appealed and the decision was in my favor. It is such a stressful ordeal but Leslie and her team were always there to answer ...all my questions immediately. I was always felt that I was important. Thank you so much.
