Leslie Smith is a good attorney to talk to.
I consulted with Leslie on a criminal matter in Louisville, Jefferson County Kentucky. I found her knowledgeable and informative. She gave me great advice and took the time to explain the law and the options available to me. I have recommended her to others as a competent defense attorney.

"I endorse Leslie. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Leslie worked at the Louisville Metro Public Defenders Office for approximately 10 years. I asked her assistance in drafting a brief to be filed with the Kentucky Supreme Court in October 2013. She did a great job! I requested her assistance in two responses to the prosecutor's motion to admit KRE 404(b) prior bad acts evidence in a criminal case and again she did a great job. She is very experienced in criminal law and an excellent researcher and writer!"
