Not proficient in employee law matters

Hardly in the office, only seemed determined in upkeeping the firm's image & marketing, and lacked determination in building a case due to distraction toward larger clients.. My potential case was an afterthought from start to finish, but she didn't hesitate to charge anyway. Key tasks in my process ...were overlooked, my potential case was ultimately ruined as a result, and she pointed blame to everyone but herself. You get what you pay for; go to Philly.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I have had the pleasure of working with Leslie on several significant cases over the years. Leslie has always displayed an in depth knowledge of the law, and she is one of the most professional, intelligent and courteous lawyers I have ever worked with. Her courtroom demeanor is perfectly tempered,... and her writing is extremely persuasive. Simply put, when it comes to litigation, which is where I have seen Leslie in action, she is amongst the best in the State of New Jersey.

A Must Retain Lawyer for Employment Related Issues

I have know Leslie professionally for years while utilizing the firm which she is a partner in for insurance defense matters while working in the insurance industry. While people may say when you have a need you should retain a Philadelphia or New York lawyer , sometimes the answer is right under yo...ur nose in your home town! Yes, I could myself in need of legal representation in an employment related matter and Leslie was terrific! She is extremely knowledgeable and aggressive while always responsive to my inquiry . I highly recommend retaining her services.
