Leslie Smith Haswell, P.A.

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

DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN THIS ATTORNEY. I hired Ms. Haswell to help me get time sharing with my daughter, who I have not been allowed to see for over 2 years now. I live in a different state than she does so I was forced to get an attorney where she lives. After hiring her, the petition was filed in the wrong county, twice, even though I clearly explained to her exactly which county my daughter lived in and specified where her mother worked and could be served during the initial consultation. It took two months to even get the paperwork filed in the correct county and served to my child's mother. Once she was served, she answered with a ton of false accusations and claims, to which Ms. Haswell did not respond or defend. She did not communicate her plan of action, her office failed to meet deadlines and give any sort of feedback or direction as to what was going on. Multiple calls and emails asking what the plan was moving forward and what needed to be done in order to get this moving were met with cookie cutter responses to stall and drain more money out of me. They allowed the other party to miss deadlines to submit documents by multiple weeks before even discussing filing motions to compel. I had to basically threaten to fire them before they would file one after my case sat for months with no movement due to the other party not submitting documents. The last straw was when I had a deadline to turn over some records to her to send to the other party, I sent it to her paralegal 2 weeks before it was due. 2 days after it was due (after receiving no confirmation, as usual) when I called to verify that it had been filed in time, the paralegal had not even opened the email. I retained her back in April, here we are in November, after she has used up $2,100 and done NOTHING except get the other party served. No mediation, no motion for temporary relief, no parenting plan...absolutely nothing, after telling me during the initial consultation that I should have time sharing with my daughter "in a few months." The cherry on top is that when I decided to fire her, of course my remaining balance in trust went from $1,800 to $920, even without all the bogus charges she tacked on after being fired, there is still money unaccounted for. Basically spent $1,900 for her to file my paperwork and give me the run around for $350 an hour. So glad to be rid of these crooks. Do not use them.

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.

Very Ethical and knowledgeable and wise lady. One of those people which is hard to find these days! I had her helping me for a prenup agreement and she did send me one and she honored a very good price. But then she made changes to it to make it custom. Now, this other lawyer for my spouse tried to scare her and try to protect her and then asked 4x the money of the original agreement to modify it!!! Honest lawyer: Leslie Smith Haswell Shark lawyer: other one My opinion: Leslie sleeps better at night and enjoys her life much better than the shark one. God bless her.
