Compassionate, decisive and readily available attorney

Leslie represented me at a time when I knew little about how to progress with my case. From the onset, not only were her communicative skills patient, timely and thorough but she also took the time to explain strategical and tactical goals in how we would approach the case from every angle. She was... compassionate, willing to compromise as needed but determined to not settle for what was not in my best interests. Although healthfully skeptical, she remained balanced and focused and her knowledge of her area of practice was impressive. Her eloquence in both her written and oral skills is best in class. Leslie is highly respected in her field and I will always be grateful for her representation. You need not look further if you seek integrity, commitment and above all else-trust.

Phenomenal Preparation and Execution

I am cursed as far as court rulings in my favor, but Mrs. Satterlee was the best attorney I have ever witnessed in my life. I had been representing myself for 6 years in my Family Law matter, that was ultimately my downfall besides being courteous and understanding of the other party. Leslie Sat...terlee was kind and understanding to my unique situation. She was so on point and ahead of the opposing council, it was inspiring to watch. At one point, as I was throwing facts at her during opposing argument, she simply said, "I got this". She certainly did. This was for a UCCJEA, how on earth the Judge justified her ruling was beyond me. Lesie Saterlee's representation and professionalism was superb. I thought I was way over paying for the result I received, but after witnessing her operate I knew I was getting more than what I paid for... I highly recommend Leslie Satterlee. I thought my case was an easy decision for my favor, but our justice system is very nuance. Woodnick law office never gave me any guarantees and warned me of all my issues prior to retainer payment. It was just a wonderful experience compared to any other Family Law issues I have dealt with.

Stop looking for an attorney - there's none better than Leslie Satterlee

In my professional life, I have worked with several attorneys and made referrals to people in need of an attorney. In the process of finding the best divorce attorney in Phoenix so I could confidently make those referrals, I discovered Leslie Satterlee. However, when I personally needed the service...s of a divorce attorney, there was no question who I was going to retain. In my personal case, Leslie was professional, prepared, offered realistic solutions, and defended me relentlessly - without exception. Throughout the process, she and her staff kept me appraised through texts, phone calls, and email. All phone calls were returned within 24 hours - usually in minutes. Highly intelligent and adeptly persuasive, Leslie effectively negotiated with opposing counsel through complex issues and represented my best interests. If you are looking for an attorney who will not just fight for you, but actually achieve results; who will never leave you in the dark, but ensure that you understand the process and know exactly where things stand - all while charging among the most competitive rates in the greater Phoenix area - look no further. I recommend Leslie without hesitation or reservation!

Leslie was great

I had a very positive experience working with Leslie. My first impression was how profesional she was. There were times I wished she was more personal, but in hindsight I'm glad she stuck to the lawyering and left the personal side to my friends and family. She really instilled confidence in m...e about what was going. I've never been through a divorce before and had no idea how the mechanics of it all worked. She explained everything very thoroughly and kept me up to date every step of the way. I had a lot of fear regarding possible outcomes for the divorce, and knowing that I had Leslie taking care of legal matters really provided me with a lot of peace. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone.
