Leslie F. Ditlow

A friend of mine gave be her number, as she worked on her divorce case, and everything went well. She was eager to set up an initial meeting - in her house - in which she was very hopeful that this would move quickly, and we would win the case. She took my retainer (which was too much after spea...king with other lawyers), and then good luck in getting her to set up, and keep a meeting. When we did finally agree on a date and time, as that time drew near, she blew it off, and no phone calls or communication of any kind. Also, not very knowledgeable. She did not even know that after over 10 years of marriage, I was entitled to my spouses SS benefits. She was sure that was wrong, until we looked it up on the internet. Really? She was the one who should have been telling me that - not the other way around. As I read in a previous review, she does not like to return calls or texts when under stress. She just disappears. I wish I would have read that before I gave her my retainer.

If you are looking for someone who is passionate about getting you what you need out of your divorce and will help you keep your hope up during this trying time, while not gauging your wallet. Here she is. She was always on time for my court dates/times. She always filed filings promptly, she was at ...times difficult to get ahold of, but she is an attorney who works on her own, with no assistance and a family of her own. So, sometimes you have to overlook things when you are getting a reasonable rate and just keep trying. When she would get back to me, she was on point with her knowledge of my case. She was always honest and fair and didn't over estimate on what was possible. She was able to help me to see what was normal proceedings and what was crap trying to pulled by my ex. She didn't let the opposing attorney bully her all though he did try. She never made me feel that she was better then me, or that I was trash for my situation. I would recommend her if you are willing to do some work (extra calls) for lower legal fees. I know she saved me money that I was better able to use for my children.

Leslie represented me in my divorce and was willing and able to produce the results that I expected. Everything was filed in a timely manner and although always respectful in the court was able to show teeth to my ex-husband which made me feel like I got my money’s worth. Prompt for court and timely... with answering any question which I had regardless of how big or small. Reasonable rates would recommend.
