Dedicated,Trustworthy, Talented. "Get it done" attorney.

Patient,dedicated,honest,genuine, informative and attention to detail are just a few of the many ways I could describe attorney Leslie Gold McPadden and her approach to my extremely difficult malpractice case. I am fortunate and blessed to say that Leslie has been both a dedicated Council and friend ...to me. I felt that she and her team cared for me as a person not just a client. At times, when I had felt bad that I was interfering with her personal time she always reassured me that it was ok and she was ALWAYS available. In fact, it was not unusual to get phone calls periodically checking in on me to see if there was anything else I needed beyond what she was already doing for me. My case had many complicating factors to say the least. Attorney McPadden walked me through the process from start to finish. She made me feel like I was not alone and she and her team was there for me every step of the way. They helped me understand the time frames involved which helped me see the big picture and ultimately get the best settlement possible- way beyond anything I could have hoped for. Attorney McPadden spelled out our strategy and executed it perfectly. With that being said, not only does attorney McPadden have a great relationship with the court she also has are strong professional network with other attorneys in the trade- again reinforcing her honest character and strong work ethic. She was always upfront about any questions or concerns I had. I was never caught off guard by anything and I was always kept well informed about every aspect of my very difficult malpractice case. To say Leslie went above and beyond for me would be an understatement. I don't have words to thank Leslie enough for everything she has done for me and I am extremely grateful to have had her as my attorney. I can't imagine having used anyone else and she will no doubt be my go to attorney in the future as she has provided me with a great experience during an extremely difficult and challenging time in my life.

Leslie proved to be a caring and knowledgeable attorney through the complete term of the lawsuit. She proved to be a fighter for my case and on top of everything as it arose. She knew how to take things to different courts in order to achieve a just settlement.

Compassionate yet tenacious

Leslie was one of two lawyers who worked on my behalf for a personal injury case. Originally, I hired a different lawyer who then added her to the team because of her expertise in the area of personal injury, and specifically Connecticut ski resort law and liability. She is such a sweet and compassio...nate person, yet a tenacious lawyer who knows her stuff. I felt very at ease with her as my legal aid, and was glad to have her fighting on my behalf. I would recommend her to any family or friend without a second thought.
