The voice of reason

Leslie is great. So responsive, so intelligent and really down to earth too. She is exactly what I wanted for representation, and exactly what I got.
Leslie G Billman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have had many cases against Leslie. She is a strong advocate for her clients, extremely professional and highly competent."
"Leslie Billman epitomizes how attorneys should practice law. Although always an advocate for her clients, she is delightful and professional to deal with, prompt in returning letters or emails, and highly regarded by everyone at the Bar, including members of the judiciary.
