RESOLVE YOUR DIVORCE WITHOUT GOING TO COURT. [email protected]

Amicable Divorce Services offers evening and weekend appointments, and free initial consultations via video conferencing.

Leslie Howell is an experienced yet passionate mediator and divorce lawyer. She cares because she understands what parties in your situation are going through. Leslie comes from a bi-racial, musical family. She was a jazz singer for several years before (and after) attending law school. She has also worked for years in a corporate setting. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, but has lived in New York City, Japan and Hawaii. Her background makes her approachable and she has insight that most other mediators and lawyers may not have. This insight allows Leslie to understand, as well as creatively think, about the issues at hand.

Although Leslie’s focus is on settling cases, she continues to litigate a small number of cases in Los Angeles County. The fact that she continues to litigate gives her insight into current judicial trends, which is quite valuable at mediation sessions.

Great Experience

Leslie has worked with me on a custody case for 5 years. Her knowledge of the law and willingness to proposed multiple solutions for issues is great! I would recommend her for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, courteous, experienced attorney. Give her skill set a try; you'll be pleased at her no-nonsense approach to resolving issues amicably!

Leslie was professional during our entire divorce process. She was always available, and responded to all questions we had in a timely manner. I personally recommend anyone going thru a divorce to avoid litigation at all costs and go the mediation route. We were just about to go to court, but after a free hour consultation with Leslie, it was a no- brainer for us not to go thru litigation. I highly recommend her.
