Excellent, thorough, patient, knowledgeable and smart!!

Leslie represented me in my divorce. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Leslie kept me updated on the progress and deadlines. I recommend Leslie Hume to anyone researching a competent and professional attorney. She takes excellent care of her clients and streamlines her way throu...gh the system because of her years of experience. I highly recommend Leslie!

Avvo Rating

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.
