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.

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 oneMy opinion: Leslie sleeps better at night and enjoys her life much better than the shark one. God bless her.

I am truly grateful for Ms. Haswell services. She genuinely was invested in the best outcome for me. Professional and compassionate during the most difficult life experiences. Gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. Highly recommend.

Recommended by a client of an opposing party for being ethical and fair. She says it like it is and does not give her clients false hope. I suspect that those writing negative reviews do not like to be told they are wrong from a legal point of view.

Leslie was the most professional lawyer I have ever met. She is not only knowledgeable in the law, but also helpful and kind in reviewing my case with me. Leslie worked for my best interest and followed the proper legal steps to accomplish this. I was truly happy with my experience with Leslie representing my case.

She guided me through a very difficult time with compassion and professionalism. Her advice was in my best interest and her council helped me make tough decisions. Her staff is incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable. I called and stopped by with many questions and they were always willing to listen and help.

Mrs Haswell is a great attorney that helped me win a case in regards of my ex trying to leave the state with my kids and her new husband. Mrs Haswell gets right to the point in the court room as well she is well known by many in her field and is very respected as well. Leslie also did an old fashion hand shake deal with me on payments every month otherwise I wouldn't be able to attain an attorney. I thank her for every thing she did for me. She kept me together through a rough time also during the court process and most of all my kids are right the hell where their suppose to be right with me.

Horrible person and horrible 'lawyer', the Free Consultation was her going over her rates and not hearing a single word about the case that I had for her to discuss with me. Furthermore, within the first 30 seconds of our consultation I wanted to get up and leave.This is by far the rudest 'professional' person I've ever dealt with. Save yourselves the time and trouble and go elsewhere. You'll be doing yourself a great favor.
