Best DV, divorce and child abuse lawyer

If you are lucky enough to be able to retain her, do not walk, run as fast as you can to retain her. 5 star is not enough, I would have given her 10 stars if there was one. She knows domestic violence so well (especially when there is no direct physical violence), best advise I ever got. She was str...aight at point and knows exactly what to do. I interviewed so many lawyers, but no one understood DV like her. Not only she is an amazing lawyer, she is also an incredible human being. My initial consultation went over an hour instead of half an hour. She felt so bad for me she kept on giving me advise and resources. She advised me what to do and what to prepare. Did not charge me for the extra time. Next I took another appointment for consultation. This time at least I though I will be paying her. She only gave me advise and resources and consulted me what to do. I begged her to charge me, she did not even charge me and only said, you take care first. Next an urgent situation occurred, and I called her, she herself answered my call and again only advise and resources. I begged her to take my case. Unfortunately, she did not have the capacity to take my case at the time. Then my attorney quit and I panicked and called her. She answered again. Never ever charged me anything. I do not know how to repay her.

Honest and Knowledgeable

I had telephone consultation with Leslie. She listened to my situation carefully. Asked the right questions and gave me advice about how to proceed next. In the advice, I could clearly see that she had put mine (client's) best interest first. I would definitely hire her for her work ethics and knowle...dge.

Devoted attorney til the job is done

I was referred to Leslie by another DVPO attorney. I have to say never does any attorney work overtime non sleep til morning to meet deadline not because she waited til last min but because she is constantly a step ahead of what is anticipated response from other party. I slept at midnight she wor...ked Graveyard til Noon deadline. My hearing is not here yet for a few days but the preparation this woman does is OUTSTANDING. I didn’t want to write a review now in fear she will be too busy for my case but I thought its only fair to give credit where credit is due. Although I made my retainer minimal I know Leslie has well over exceeded her hours I paid her. But never once she ask for more money. I was hoping she would so I can pay her for her time. :-) happy to! My case got from complex to completely extremely complex. From dvpo to family law to overly complex. My great appreciation to Leslie for working non stop to get it done no matter what it’s takes. that’s a HUGE quality hard to find in an attorney. Whatever the outcome maybe in court I know we have put our BEST FOOT forward. Her details to attention maybe too much BUT it’s necessary because it’s ALL ABOUT FACT FACT FACT to the judge. Not talk. Thank you Leslie. My child and me greatly appreciates all your hard work. Thank you

Solid attorney who knows DV/Family Law

I met in person and had consulted with Ms. Irwin regarding a custody matter. I found her to be very professional, knowledgeable, sincerely and a great problem solver. She knows family law/DV matters and was a good listener and empathetic to my needs. I would highly recommend Ms. Irwin's services....
