After my divorce was filed, Ms. Haswell was recommended. My first consultation was very informative. Ms. Haswell let me know in my first visit what I may be facing in my divorce. She was very realistic and reassuring. Her legal assistant keeps in the loop regarding my case frequently. I feel very confident in her and her legal assistant's ability to offer sound legal advice and to be trustworthy. Thank you, Ms. Haswell and Ms. Cannon, you've been a great help and have a heart of service.

I wanted the best and that’s what I got with Leslie Haswell. She is honest, direct, and knows her stuff! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family lawyer with presence who gets the job done. I feel that with Leslie as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. Her professionalism is remarkable, along with her knowledge and execution of the law. It didn't take me long to realize her deep knowledge of Family Law with over 35+ years of experience. With this being, not only a very difficult situation, it was also an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life and Leslie handled this case with what I would consider perfection in every aspect. I feel that when people are faced with the fear of the unknown and are then given a sense of peace throughout this unfamiliar legal process, then they have found the correct legal representation. I guarantee that's what you will get if you choose Leslie Haswell to represent you. - A satisfied divorce client

Working with this lawyer helped me through a very difficult time. She truly cared about my situation. In the beginning she explained the process thoroughly and honestly. Throughout the court proceedings she was knowledgeable and there for me, always having my back. Communication was open and direct always calling me back right away and defending me against the lies and slander that were thrown at me from the opposing party. This attorney has been a life saver, even after the divorce some things came up and she was quick to let me know about it and help me through it.
