About Darlene
Biography
Being a Domestic Attorney in a full service firm gives me the resources to fight for my clients. Divorce, support and custody disputes create the most stressful time in one's life. I zealously represent my clients with compassion, working out creative solutions whenever possible and litigating for the outcome my clients are looking for if necessary. I utilize my strong negotiation skills to settle 90% of my cases with the other attorney or through mediation and negotiations, but for the 10% that require a full trial, I have years of successful litigation experience to go the extra mile for my clients because everything we do in domestic law matters in your life -- from protecting your assets, your children or your livelihood.

Darlene Lesser Experience
Ms. Lesser did an outstanding job for me. I worked with her after working with another attorney who was not responsive to my needs and was getting poor results for me. Once Ms. Lesser took over the reins everything changed for the better and I got the absolute best result I could have expected. ...
