:: PRACTICE SPECIALTIES ::
After litigating high profile divorces in Century City and then litigating smaller family law cases in the Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank areas, Leslie has settled into practicing with her husband, Robert Howell, in Pasadena, CA. Leslie has shifted her practice from family law litigation to peacemaking. Her focus is now on collaborative divorce and family law mediation. Through the collaborative process, her goal as a lawyer is to empower clients to resolve their concerns with integrity in order to promote a successful future for their family without a court appearance. Through mediation, her goal as a neutral is to help spouses and/or parents reach an agreement together and avoid on-going litigation and the stresses of cases that seem to go on forever. These amicable processes are key to a more peaceful transition in a very difficult life stage.
