About Leslie
Biography
I have dedicated my law practice to helping the disabled. Specifically, I represent Veterans who have been wrongly denied service-connected compensation benefits by the Department of Veterans (VA). I also represent disabled Social Security Claimants.
In addition to representing Veterans and Social Security claimants directly, I have also presented at seminars for veterans' advocates on a nationwide basis, educating them on how to represent veterans before the VA to obtain service-connected benefits. I have also presented for many other advocacy and support groups in my community, educating the public about VA and Social Security Disability law, in general.
