Leslie R. Bottimore

Bottimore and Associates handled my parenting plan modification when my ex-wife remarried and relocated. It was handled with respect and excellence despite the difficulties thrown at us by my ex and her shark lawyer. While keeping the children's best interest in mind; we defended against viral clai...ms and kept my visitation and holiday schedule. When I look back on the case I am glad that Leslie kept me in the right mind and helped me not to react to the dirty games that were attempted.

I came to Leslie as a grandmother who wanted to give her 2 year old granddaughter a chance to lead a normal life. She was living with a drug addicted mother who for a variety of reasons was not able to care for her. Leslie helped my son to gain full custody and the right to move his daughter out of s...tate and near to family that could provide support. Today my granddaughter is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted kindergartner and I give Leslie most of the credit for that... she helped guide us through the complex legal world of child custody and counseled us through a very frightening and emotional time in our lives.

My son deployed to Afghanistan and left me with a Power of Attorney to file for divorce on his behalf. While he was deployed, his wife had a baby that was not his. I contacted Leslie Bottimore to handle the case, which turned out to be two cases, dissolution of marriage and disestablishment of pate...rnity. Leslie covered all the bases while we waited for the wheels of the legal system to turn. She got TROs in place to protect my son and his job, made sure that the military personnel knew that they had to abide by the civil court's rulings, got the money pipeline cut-off to the ex-wife and managed to keep us all calm and informed when the State of Washington filed suit against my son in an Establishment of Paternity Suit. She kept assuring us that the end would eventually come, and it finally did. Leslie and Kathy were very patient with all my questions, as I live in another state with very different laws. He was divorced, the State of Washington took custody of his ex-wife's children, and there was finally genetic testing performed, which proved my son was not the father, thereby resolving the Disestablishment of Paternity Suite and the State's Establishment of Paternity suit. It was a difficult experience for a young guy in the Army and his mother, but we got through it with Leslie's legal expertise, and my son has a fresh start in life. Thanks Leslie and Kathy! You got us through it.

Leslie has the compassion, knowledge and experience that I needed in a lawyer for my case involving a modification of a parenting plan. During this stressful time, Leslie and her team kept me calm and focused. She helped prioritize and address my issues and concerns, and provided me with recommendati...ons during throughout the case. This allowed me to make the right decisions that met the best interest for the children and for both parties. The communication I had with her and her team was always timely. Overall, her services have been invaluable; I call her my legal guardian angel. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a great, knowledgeable, honest lawyer.

Ms. Bottimore and her team provided excellent service throughout my divorce considering cplications in another county and false allegations that put our kids in an uncomfortable position even more. Ms Bottimore created strategies and structures to get me the best deal possible given the situation. I ...will continue to retain her and her team because my life is complicated enough and I rather position someone who looks out for her clients and not just her cash flow.
