About Leslie
Biography
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.
