Amazing Lawyer

I was very nervous when I ran into legal trouble recently, especially since I was innocent of any crime. I met with Leslie and she was such a tremendous help. Not only was she successful on getting the hold off my bail, she also managed to get all of my charges dropped! She was such a huge help to me... in such a stressful time, she always would keep me informed and make sure all of my questions were answered. I can't recommend her enough!

Petty theft case dismissed without plea

My wife who is on a dependent H4 US visa was charged with PC 484(A) petty theft case in Sacramento county. After speaking with many lawyers in town, we decided to hire Leslie as her fees were very low and she seemed very knowledgeable and trustworthy during our first conversation. I must say we are e...xtremely happy with our decision to hire her. Leslie was always on top of our case and kept us well informed by calling us to give regular case updates. We never had to go to the court or worry about our case. She gathered all the required documents from us and met with the DA few times. In the end she was able to dismiss our case without any plea which was important to us because of immigration status. I would give Leslie big five stars as she was very polite, very honest and kept us well informed. I would highly recommend her over others.
