Leslie Smith Haswell's Reviews

Posted by Steven | October 19, 2020 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

I wanted the best and that’s what I got with Leslie Haswell. She is honest, direct, and knows her stuff! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family lawyer with presence who gets the job done. I feel that with Leslie as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. Her professiona...lism is remarkable, along with her knowledge and execution of the law. It didn't take me long to realize her deep knowledge of Family Law with over 35+ years of experience. With this being, not only a very difficult situation, it was also an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life and Leslie handled this case with what I would consider perfection in every aspect. I feel that when people are faced with the fear of the unknown and are then given a sense of peace throughout this unfamiliar legal process, then they have found the correct legal representation. I guarantee that's what you will get if you choose Leslie Haswell to represent you. - A satisfied divorce client

Professional, thoughtful, powerful.

Leslie is an amazing asset to anyone going through an emotional divorce. She is professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and I could not have done this without her support.

Excellent attorney

Ms. Haswell is the first attorney that I have ever used except for my last-will attorney. Ms. Haswell has impressed me with her knowledge, professionalism, and care. She also provided good perspectives of life, which is helpful to individuals in conflicts. I am thankful to her for her service.

Wonderful, compassionate representation

Mrs. Haswell is thoughtful, compassionate, and knowledgeable in many aspects of family law. She did an amazing job representing us in family court. She is thorough and informed when it comes to current case law, and was very honest and up front from our first phone call.

"I have known Ms. Haswell for years. We have been on opposing sides of cases, as well as co-counseled cases together. Ms. Haswell is an excellent attorney with extraordinary compassion and pragmatism. While she is an outstanding litigator, she is also a fierce advocate for her clients, and has a special ability to counsel them to achieve the best results both in an out of the courtroom. I highly recommend her services."
