Extremely Helpful!

Leslie helped me to successfully dissolve my marriage with the least amount of hostility and drama possible. She was thorough, helpful, and is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She will work hard for you. I like her straight up approach. She doesn't drag things out or take up extra time u...nnecessarily. Highly recommend.

Unreliable, unresponsive, a mistake

I hired Ms. Gilbertson to do the paperwork for an uncontested divorce. After getting the process started she stopped responding to communication, leaving me in the dark as to the status. After calling and leaving messages I finally got a response and status update from a lawyer in a different firm(hu...h?) but no word from her. You'll notice that this lady has lots of good reviews before 2017 but since then mainly negative reviews. I give her an unequivocal "don't hire" review.

Average at best

Leslie appeared to be knowledgeable and attentive at first , however, the moment my case begin, she was visibly absent, ill prepared and was clobbered by opposing counsel to the point where my ex-wife's attorney even filed a motion with the court on her inability to respond to petitions on time. I wo...uld not recommend Leslie, especially in cases where one party works for a corporation and the other doesn't

I am sorry you had a bad experience, but the facts you describe are not familiar to me. I wonder if this review is actually about your experience with another attorney but your anonymity makes it impossible for me to remedy your concerns. I always strive to serve clients diligently and get them to their desired outcome. I am always open to feedback from clients. Please contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns.

Outstanding Family Law Lawyer

Ms. Gilbertson was an outstanding lawyer who helped me through a difficult separation and divorce. When my ex was stalling and being intransigent, Ms. Gilbertson kept exploring options, trying new tactics, and eventually helped bring the marriage to a successful dissolution. I can't recommend her hig...hly enough.

Highly recommend Leslie

Everyone who goes through divorce knows how difficult it is. It is an exposure to understand that the other half who you had been with you can be so cruel to you. My ex-husband deserted the baby when the baby was only 5 months old. He also hit me and was charged with domestic violence. He served me w...ith divorce paper right after and I was shocked. I did not know what to do. So I searched avvo and found an attorney with ads posted on avvo and it seems that he has with a lot of reviews. He also has many years of experiences. But it turns out it is a mistake and I spent a lot of money in the divorce, in addition to that, I have to pay child support solely (my ex-husband did not pay any child support). The divorce case last about 1 year without any decision. The attorney would send you long emails, also he talks long discussion with no point or how to move forward with divorce. He also seems not to know the details about my case. I found Leslie through my company’s legal plan network. I should have found her long time ago. She is very straightforward with a very clear goal in mind how to move forward. She is goal oriented and knows what are the steps for us to get there. My case is really tough because my ex moved to California and we could not locate him easily. Leslie cares about my case and she is willing to take an extra step to find resources/information for me (not only for the divorce case but other aspects, for example, work with city district attorney together - I think that is very smart of her to use other resources for getting us the goal. The attorney is willing to help you and she trusts you. That is the most important part in a divorce. She also does a lot of good preparation before going to court. She knows every detail about my case. She is smart to know what are the key points for the judge and for the case. She talks the key points. If you have worked in an corp environment, you probably know what I am talking about here. Some people talks a lot but you cannot understand the point. Leslie is the attorney who has a lot of clarify on divorce case. She is a really smart attorney – I think smart is good word to describe her. She gets me the final decree and also all the judgment against my ex. I really want to recommend her to everyone who is going through divorce. She works hard, she is smart, kind-hearted. Sometimes she replies emails to me at late night, 11pm. She really cares about my case. I want to thank her sincerely and share my appreciation to her with everyone. She has done a great job in my divorce case.
