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!

There's A Reason Why Ms. Posnock Has Such Positive Reviews

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and given a ticket as a result. This being my first accident, I was at a loss on how best to proceed. I called numerous law firms around NJ and was verydisappointed by how many lawyers attempted to scare me into hiring them ("You could even get hit with jail... time if things don't go your way!" etc..). Ms. Posnock was a breath of fresh air - She was upfront, patient, and best of all, honest. She took the time to explain the details of my case. She went over all the possible outcomes and reassured me every step of the way. She showed up to court on time and was able to significantly reduce my charge to a no point ticket. Of course, the exact results may vary depending on the case. But given how professional and thorough she was on something as "minor" as a traffic ticket, I would have no hesitation in recommending her to handle any criminal defense cases as well. At the end of the day, you want a lawyer who takes the time to view you as a person ... not as a paycheck. Ms. Posnock is a reminder that there are lawyers out there who haven't forgotten that their clients are people too.

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...

Remarkably skilled attorney

I had a very complicated case, with many bizarre twists and turns. Leslie saw the general course of the case from the very beginning, and while keeping her eye on the safest outcome for me, she adapted to every turn the case took. She is, quite simply, a brilliant, remarkably gifted lawyer. She was a...lso compassionate, humane, and quick to respond to every question I had. As I became more negative and hysterical, Leslie patiently calmed me down and reassured me. She was cool, poised, hyper-rational and completely committed to protecting me. She steered the case to the best possible outcome and I am profoundly grateful to her. My only complaint is that she doesn't also have a medical degree. If I could find a doctor with her skills, I'd never have to worry about anything.

Leslie Posnock - The very first lawyer to contact when counsel is needed

Leslie Posnock exceeded my expectations in resolving my case and finding the best possible outcome that would benefit myself and my family. Leslie's knowledge of the law and her tireless effort to keep fighting for me when I thought I was in a hopeless situation has earned her 5 stars in my review of... her services. Leslie is not afraid to lock horns with a prosecutor when she sees that a better outcome is possible, regardless of what is deemed mandatory by law. I have and will continue to recommend her as the counsel to contact when unfortunate issues occur with law enforcement. I can’t say enough about Leslie, but the most important thing I will say, is she genuinely cared about my situation and what could happen to me and my family. Leslie pulled out all the stops to find a way to better my situation when my future looked bleak. Leslie should be your first point of contact when you find yourself in a situation where you must seek counsel. I could go on and on about all the hard work she put in to better my case, but I think this enough for anyone to understand the quality lawyer you are getting by reaching out to Leslie for her expertise in such matters.
