Amazing Lawyer

I have been dealing with a unreal amount of stress with my ex wife. When I reached out to Leslie she was right away wanting to put me at ease, knowing that she was here to help me not just wanting a check. I have hired her two different times and both times she was very fast to help me. I have two ca...ses in two states and any of my custody cases in Arkansas will be handed by Mrs. Copeland she is who I trust with my daughters best interest. Thank you Mrs. Leslie for everything you did for my family.

AWESOME RESULTS

I had already been through 6 different lawyers in my custody case. Each of them never really caring what I wanted. Leslie was exactly the opposite! She turned everything around in my favor when I had decide that this would be the last attempt. She restored what little faith i had in the judicial syst...em back. Anytime I communicate with her, she gets back to me quickly. She is very proactive and in my case, I hadn't been in touch with her for awhile because I was busy, and she contacted me to to remind me of certain things I needed to get done for her as I am a very busy person. She also pays attention to details to help further get what is best for you. I will continue to work with Leslie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an effective and organized attorney.

Effective, organized and personable attorney

Leslie is an amazing attorney to work with. Anytime I communicate with her, she gets back to me quickly, many times in the same day and hour. She is very proactive and organized with her cases. In my case, I hadn't been in touch with her for awhile because I was busy, and she contacted me to schedule... a phone call to catch up on what was going on. Along with this, she is very personable and shows that she truly cares about her clients. She also pays attention to details to help further get what is best for you. In my case, I was divorcing my ex who had been incredibly difficult and antagonistic about everything. We also have two children. She helped ensure that I got the custody that would be best for the children. Also, due to her attention to detail, she took action so that the child support was increased. I will continue to work with Leslie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an effective, organized, and personable attorney.

Best Lawyer in Northwest Arkansas

I had already been through 3 different lawyers in my divorce and custody case. Each of them were willing to negotiate easliy with the other side while never really caring what i wanted or about the best interest of my child whose father was abusive. Leslie was exactly the opposite! She turned everyth...ing around in my favor when i had no faith left in any lawyer. She gave me that faith back. That there are lawyers out there who actually care about their clients. I truly believe she is the best lawyer around. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

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."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
