Posted by Kristin | March 03, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Horrible, unethical and rude

Went to Leslie for consultation for Child Custody case. She told me Everything I wanted to hear. After retaining her, her paralegal Linda had me running to their office late at night to get them docmoments they failed to tell me about. Leslie, failed to go to a hearing that would force the other... party (my ex) for his documents that were required. Leslie failed to mention she continued the hearing for no reason. Yes I was charged. Leslie then, at 10:00 p.m. the day before my hearing after talking to her on the phone TOLD ME SHE ISN'T GOING TO REPRESENT ME IN THE MORNING THAT SHE QUITS ON MY CASE. I had to call her beg her to please go there and still she failed me. My bill was about $20,000. I retained a new attorney and when asked to give my file to the new attorney, it cost me another $4000.00 to have them organize my file to continue the case. Very unprofessional, especially her assistant, Linda, and Leslie as well. Over billing, sending documents to wrong people, last minute, more stress then when you started. Not recommended

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.
