Client Reviews
"Leslie defended us in a litigation brought years after the fact and quickly obtained a settlement well below what we had authorized. She was a pleasure to work with, and we would gladly hire her again (but hope we do not have reason to)."
"Leslie helped us in a business purchase agreement contract dispute. She was zealous in negotiations and provided great advice to us along the way, resulting in a better than expected settlement. We have already hired her again and will in the future."
