Posted by Janet | January 28, 2014 | Child Custody

Great Lawyer

Lesleigh is a very good lawyer, professional, to the point, and represented me very well. In a State with 50/50 parenting time, she managed to have the children remain with me 70% of the parenting time as the other parent, even though requesting 50/50, played a minimal role in parenting until our se...paration. She also garnered a settlement that was far more than I was told I would get by other lawyers. She is pleasant to deal with but can be hard enough to deal with opposing counsel efficiently.

Family Law

Lesleigh Monahan, while remaining professional was also very kind and concerned for my emotional well being through out the whole process of my separation and divorce. She communicated the steps and the process we would be following in a manner that was easily understood and continued to communicate... every step of the way.

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.
