Very professional lawyer
Leslie is a great lawyer, she goes above and beyond what a lawyer does. She personally goes to the Judge to get bond reduced and works hard with the prosecutor to get your charges reduced or drop. She did an amazing job on my grandson case.

Leslie Halasz
Replied last August 05, 2018Ree was faced with an extremely serious charge that could have resulted in a very long prison sentence but through persistence and through dissection of the state's evidence I was able to establish enough doubt in the prosecutor's mind that the case was dismissed without the need of an extremely stressful jury trial and the risk of an innocent man being wrongfully convicted.
