  Leslie brings a proactive approach to her practice in order to achieve an expeditious and fair outcome for her clients. She recognizes that the issues addressed in ending a marriage are personal, complex and demand more than a cookie cutter approach. In every case, she works closely with her client to implement a plan to identify and resolve financial or child-related issues in order to obtain the best result possible in a reasonable time frame. In large, complex cases, she has the tax, financial and economic knowledge to address sophisticated issues regarding asset valuation, actual or hidden income, and the allocation of equity, options, and deferred compensation. She also works closely with accountants, tax experts, financial and estate planning professionals to maximize outcomes for her clients. In custody matters, she appreciates the emotional consequences of child-related litigation and focuses her efforts on settling parenting issues in the best interest of children.
