Leslie R. Bottimore

My husband and I hired Leslie after consulting with multiple lawyers about our complicated case seeking de facto parentage of our daughter. De facto parentage is a relatively new statute, and we wanted someone who was knowledgeable about this area of the law and felt confident navigating it. It was v...ery clear from our consultation with her that Leslie was who we needed to tackle our case. It took almost a full year to get to trial, and Leslie and her staff were very supportive, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the whole process. Leslie works tirelessly to fight for her clients. I received many messages from her well after normal office hours when she was reviewing our materials, and she was available for last minute phone calls during our multi-day trial to console us and hear urgent concerns. Leslie won our trial, and we are forever grateful to her for it. We would hire her again in an instant.

Ms. Bottimore and her Team are passionate about finding solutions no matter how complex your matters are. A law firm that sees you come in and truly cares how you leave out. They are the light at the end of the tunnel and a joy to work with! Big thanks to Ms. Bottimore and her Team for representing m...e in high conflict family matters!

I was/am having some family issues that have required me to attain legal council in the recent past, but Bottimore and Associates have always been there to help. My family issues over the last couple of years have been difficult, stressful, and sometimes left me feeling totally distraught, but Leslie... and her team have really been there for me. The incredible personal attention and support was amazing. I never felt like they were in a hurry to get me off the phone, instead weather it was Leslie herself, or one of her amazing staff, they would take the time I needed to belay any concerns and sooth my fears. Frankly I am amazed at just how much time and compassion they were able to show me given what an incredibly busy office it seems to be. At one point I felt like I was totally at my wits end, but by the time I got off the phone with Leslie, I felt reassured, confident that my case was proceeding in the right direction, and ultimately was delivered the results I had hoped for. She also made the experience affordable. While all law practices seem to have a ton of overhead, I never once felt like I was being over charged. In fact my experience was just the opposite. I can honestly say I felt like Leslie was personally looking out for me. The process was explained to me every step of the way, and I knew what the expenses were going to look like up front. Being a single person with one income, that meant a lot to me. Bottimore and Associates were referred to me, and although I live in Seattle, I will never go anywhere else if I ever need legal assistance or council again!!

I've had the blessing of Leslie Bottimore representing my family law, post-secondary education support case that involved an ex-husband/estranged father from hell...and that is putting it mildly!! This case was drug through the courts for years, off and on, due to my ex and his crazy making abuse of ...power via the family court system. He made it his life's work to harass our college age child, myself and even my new husband and our extended family members. Leslie is not only compassionate and kind, but has always come to court well prepared, confident and knows how to shut down a crazy man, time and time again. She may be soft spoken, but she is definitely a powerhouse with her words and skills within the legal system. She is very familiar with the judges, how they operate and how best to approach a case. She was able to accomplish everything our child needed to complete their college degree and keep support until they are able to get on their feet. We feel so grateful for all she has done through the years to help keep the support going for the benefit of our child. Trust her judgment and you can't go wrong! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is forced to deal with an ex or soon to be ex-spouse who is trying to make your life a living hell. She will put a stop to it and make sure you are represented in a professional and justice oriented manor. I might also add that Leslie has an amazing staff that has been with her for years, her right hand gal, Kathy, and also, Evelyn. I have mainly worked with Kathy through the years and she has been such a kind and professional person to work with. She has always been empathetic to the tyrant my ex-husband enjoyed being to our family and was there for us, both emotionally and professionally, with her sound legal guidance and advice on my "to do" items for their office. Just know if you are in need of a real Pitbull in the courtroom, along with kind hearted support, Leslie and Team are your people!! I can't thank them all enough!

I hired Leslie for a complicated child custody case. From the beginning she was proactive, responsive and kept me very well informed. Her knowledge and just general compassion and support was crucial during that very emotionally taxing time. The result of the case was perfect and even though it was a... bit out of Leslie's comfort zone (in a different county) she handled everything professionally and as quickly and efficiently as possible. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!
