I endorse this lawyer without hesitation. I have known Leslie professionally for seven years and during that time I have never hesitated to refer one of my matrimonial clients to her when they needed help or consultation on an employment related issue. Leslie is kind and compassionate while remaining a zealous advocate. If you have an employment related inquiry, do not hesitate to contact Leslie. She is always reasonable and practical in her approach. She is a fabulous attorney.
