Exceptional Service

I was referred to Leslie Posnock by an attorney I had previously used but was not able to handle this line of legal issue (Expungement of a Felony Charge). From the very first contact Mrs. Posnock was very prompt in responding to my questions and concerns, even after retaining her. She was extremely... knowledgeable in the laws already in place as well as new changes that were expected to change in the coming months. Mrs. Posnock work diligently to bring my case to a successful close and removed a huge 30 year burden off of my shoulders. I will be forever grateful for the kindness and professional manner in which she conducted herself. Well worth the fee she charged. I hope I will never need her service again, but if I were, Leslie Posnock would be my very first choice.

My Journey

To make a very long story short something I never thought would happen did. I ended up facing criminal charges at a state level, had a warrant, and found myself spending a day incarceration. My family was fortune enough to have come across Leslie Posnock & her firm. Without even knowing me or taking ...any funds she quickly helped my family during my incarceration without any hesitation. She took constant phone calls from my mom let her know when I was going to court and when they should expect me to be released. To be honest there was more communication on the outside then i knew in the inside. We met the very next day and fully went through everything in great detail. I was surprised by how thorough she was, and we discussed the terms of probation; however this all ended with the best result possible. The charges were ultimately dismissed, signed off by a judge and there was an immediate expungement. I can confidently say that I have never been convicted of a crime and all of my fingerprints, and photographs have been destroyed. This result would not have been possible without the assistance of Leslie and her firm. They all worked diligently on my case and was always available for a quick phone call or an email. Leslie was worth every single penny and without her none of this would be possible for today. I would highly recommend her to absolutely anyone who is looking for a criminal lawyer. She was able to get all of my criminal charges dismissed and its almost like this whole event never happened. I can confidently fill out a job application online and hit the option for “never being convicted of a crime”. All of that is possible today because of Leslie and her firm. My horrible nightmare finally ended that day in the courtroom after the judge signed those papers. I am able to have a fresh start and new beginning because of Leslie. If your questioning whether or not to hire her that shouldn’t even be a thought. She is worth every penny with getting her clients the best possible outcome so don’t question not choosing her because of funds. What happened that day in the courthouse couldn’t be bought or paid off, but hiring one of the best attorneys will get you the best outcome there is!

The best

After reading her reviews I knew Ms. Posnock would be a great choice. After speaking on the phone with her, i knew i made the right decision. I hired her to defend me and she relieved me of my biggest worries. I could’ve had a record which would ruin my future and pay a large amount in fees, but than...ks to Ms. Posnock - I didn’t. She knew what she was doing and knew different outlooks on how the situation could go. She stayed on top of it and was there for me the whole way. I’m very grateful for her and her works. She was overall fantastic, not only as a lawyer but as a person too. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of criminal defense lawyer.

Excellent lawyer – best outcome

I hired Ms. Posnock for 2 cases this year with Hit and run(with 5 other traffic offenses) and Careless driving. All charges were dismissed and I am very happy with the outcome. She is extremely skilled lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone. She is a true expert and I'm thankful for all her... support throughout the entire process.

Outstanding representation

Recently, we were required to seek legal representation due to motor vehicle charges filed against me. I had the pleasure of being introduced to Leslie Posnock Esq., who accepted my request for representation. She was honest and explained that although I had a clean record, it would be difficult to ...have the charges reduced, let alone dismissed. We were prepared for the inevitable. We were due to be heard with little or no hope for anything other than a reduced plea. However, due to the wonderful representation by Ms. Posnock, and compassion from the Prosecutor, we left the Courthouse with all charges dismissed. Although the results could have been very different, I feel that due to Ms. Posnock's outstanding representation and persistence, we were successful in our hearing. I highly recommend her for her honesty, integrity and legal knowledge. Hopefully, we will never need her services again, but if required, she will be the Party we will seek. Thanks again to Ms.Leslie Posnock esq. for an outstanding job...
