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 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! :)

Review of Jo Ann Bui Leslie

Joan Leslie, is a true professional in every sense of the word. She is highly intelligent, brilliant in her field of work, she listens well and then crafts documents to meet your needs. She develops each clients personalized documents to meet their individual needs and requests.My wife and I had bee...n searching for that "special attorney" to meet our needs for estate planning, wills and a living for over a year. A financial planner suggested we meet with Joan and half way through our first meeting my wife and I knew Joan was the attorney we had been hoping to find. Joan has our complete trust, confidence and respect. Joan has the wisdom and grace of an individual twice her age. Her background in finance, accounting, legal and previous work history were positive factors in our selecting Joan. Her age (mid 30's) was a plus because we wanted an individual that would be living and able to work with our daughter and son in law after we past. Joan's education, work experience, ethics and integrity are outstanding. Estating planning is very personal and you want an individual you trust, respect and have complete confidence. Joan Leslie has all of those qualities and so many more.Joan Leslie is a professional who gives of herself time wise to care and exceed each of her clients needs.We have highly recommended Joan Leslie to our friends and they have all been thankful for our recommendation. The first friend of our friends who chose Joan now is telling others about this wonderfully talented and gifted lady. After Joan completed their wills and living wills and other estate panning documents they called my wife and I to thank us for our great recommendation of Joan Leslie. It is a very comforting feeling to know and be assured our daughter will be able to keep and manage more of our assets because of Joan's broad financial expertise which will our future grand kids to keep more of our hard earned monies due to Joans tax, finance and legal expertise. Joan has a vast knowledge in estate planning, finance, probate,wills and living wills and many other areas. Thanks to Joan, my wife and I have a great comfort when we go to bed at night, which is a great feeling knowing we have done the right thing in choosing Joan to help us now and helping our future grand children. It is an honor and privilege to HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Joan Leslie.

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."
