Probate and Estate Administration

Joan is a very caring, personal, and knowledgable attorney. She helped me with a variety of things I needed to take care of while I was grieving the passing of my husband. She handled the things that needed to be done to sell real estate that was titled in my husband's name and other estate adminins...tration aspects that I would not have been able to do on my own or even have known where to begin. I am so grateful for her experience and really, her consideration of my emotions during such a difficult time.

I highly recommend Mrs. Leslie for legal services

Mrs. Leslie helped my wife and I assemble our wills with accuracy, professionalism and promptness. The most impressive part of all this is she was pregnant and just days away from having child. Being that my wife and I just had a baby ourselves, we were particularly impressed with her abilities under... her personal circumstances. With her charming personality and razor sharp intellect, she helped us mold the most important documents we will ever create. Our wills. We are forever grateful.

Exceptional Services...

Joan was very professional and thorough in helping us with our wills. She was very knowledgeable and really made sure that we understood our options and the law. We had put off doing our wills for too long and she made it easy and took the right amount of time with us. We both feel great about our de...cision to work with Joan and have recommended several of our friends to use her as well.

I HIGHLY Recommend Joan Leslie! :)

If you're looking for someone who truly "knows her stuff" when it comes family issues, I highly recommend Joan. I was referred to Joan by a trusted attorney friend who has helped with my non-profit organizatioin. When I desperately needed wise counsel ASAP regarding a Guardianship issue for person ...with disabilities that goes to our church, Joan responded immediately with a wealth of information to help me successfully navigate the choppy waters of Family Law. She shared contact information that allowed me to go straight to the top and get action ASAP. Thank You Joan! :)

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ms. Leslie is an excellent attorney who provides her clients with an abundance of personal attention and tailors each estate plan that she drafts to the specific individual needs of her clients. Ms. Leslie is scholarly, professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and meticulous in all that she does. She is well versed in most issues that may arise in any given estate (testate or intestate), and in how to handle such issues. Additionally, Ms. Leslie practices before the Texas probate courts and is skilled at assisting her clients in navigating the often confusing process of probating a will or obtaining a guardianship. I highly recommend Ms. Leslie, and I am proud to call her a professional colleague."
