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.

Excellent, Honest, and Great Communication

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.

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.

Replied last May 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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
