Worst Law Firm

I strongly advise against this law firm. They failed to perform their duties and instead took the side of the opposing party without ensuring the well-being of the children. Nearly a year and a half passed, and Macy visited the children only 2 times. Her decision was based solely on allegations made ...by the plaintiff. There was no proofs at all. Don't recommend this firm the worst. All the care is about getting paid.

A True Professional

When I looked and interviewed lawyers, I asked my self who would represent my case like it was their own. My case was so important as it was about my family and kids and our lives. As we all have experiences I needed this to be a home run and needed a lawyer to understand that this was more than ju...st a case and more than just a paycheck. Leslie and Lisa are a great team, they are professional and get back with you. When I was stressed and had concerns, they helped me understand and walked me through the process and told be to let them do the heavy lifting as this was their job. So many times in life, we feel that we are to do everything and having an expert family lawyer on your side is so rewarding. Thank you Leslie for your patients and support during my case.

Best Attorney I have ever dealt with!

I have had to deal with many attorneys in my life and Leslie is by far the best attorney. I have never had an attorney be more responsive, informative, patient, honest, and caring. Leslie was there every step of the way and showed compassion in a unique situation that was very difficult. If I ever... have another matter Leslie will be the one I call.

Family lawyer | Oct 23

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I wholeheartedly endorse Leslie. Because we work together, I have the chance to watch her in action daily. Like many new attorneys, she is passionate about her clients; however, unlike many new attorneys, Leslie is not afraid to jump in and do whatever it takes to help her clients get their needs met. She has now handled several complicated family law cases with the skill I would expect of a much more seasoned attorney. As the second face of my law firm, she makes me very proud to have her on board."
