About Lesley
Biography
I am an attorney licensed to practice in Illinois (11/2002), Minnesota (10/2003) and Michigan (6/2008) I recently moved to Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and will take a variety of types of cases. I practice primarily in Bankruptcy, but also take related consumer law cases, foreclosures, collections, landlord/tenant, Business organizations, leases, and other related areas as well as family law. I will not accept credit cards for bankruptcies.
---
In addition to being admitted to three states, I am admitted to eight federal district courts including: the Northern District of Illinois, Central District of Illinois, Eastern District of Michigan and the Western District of Michigan, Southern District of Illinois, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Western District of Wisconsin and District of Minnesota. I am also admitted to the US Supreme Court and Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Court. Presently, I am focusing on working within the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan, but still take Northern District of Illinois bankruptcy cases.
I moved to beautfiul Mount Pleasant Michigan in August 2007, and plan to stay here for a long time. I look forward to providing quality services to the residents of Mount Pleasant for years to come and have a passion for helping people deal with consumer problems that arise.
