Honest, Knowledgeable, Kind
I was sued for copyright infringement, on top of drowning in debt. Leslie explained all my options, always responding to my emails quickly and thoroughly, no matter how many questions I had. She turned an ordeal into a managed situation. I hope I don't have any need for a lawyer again, but if I do, I will absolutely go to her, first.

A Trusted Resource and Advisor
Ms. Farber has been our attorney for years and has worked FOR and WITH us in varied legal situations. She is tenacious, incredibly astute with today’s laws and she won’t “sugar coat” anything. Her experience in state and national legislation only adds to her impeccable acumen. I can honestly say, I would not be married today if it weren’t for her! I could go on and on about her legal prowess...go and find out for yourself!

Leslie was excellent explaining the processes involved in my case. She was honest and direct. Although it is not a necessary characteristic of a good attorney she was sincere, which, helped clam my fears. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience.

Couldn't have been better
Leslie Farber represented me in a copyright infringement case. She did an excellent job explaining my options, and I always felt the options she advised were the correct course of action. Ms. Farber kept me up to date with all developments, even returning an email while she was away for a conference. She was accessible, patient, and compassionate. I would highly recommend her legal services for anyone else who requires representation for their copyright infringement legal problems.

Leslie helped to educate and advise me in a legal matter regarding copyright infringement. She was very open and honest as she provided counsel for my case. She also kept me very well informed and the communications (both detail and volume) were great.

Leslie has helped us out twice now to our complete satisfaction. We are pleased to refer to her as "our lawyer." She is thoughtful and thorough and doesn't hesitate to go the extra mile without being asked. John and Frank [last name removed]

Working with Leslie
Leslie is a great lawyer. After she listened to my situation and understood my concerns, she proceeded to do what needs to be done with my case. I appreciate that she's always willing to explain what needs to be done and why. She is just the smart and pro-active advocate I was looking for.

Had to find someone new
I felt like I was left completely in the dark regarding my case. I had to retain another attorney so that I felt adequately represented.
Response from Leslie FarberMay 12, 2012
I communicated with this client a couple of times each week, gave him updates as much as possible, and explained to him that I was unable to give him a projection on how his final divorce agreement work out until I knew the financial status of his spouse which was about to arrive.
