Leslie Barrows

Leslie was highly recommended to me for being relentless. Unfortunately she proved that to me from a not-so-acceptable client perspective. I interviewed Leslie and hired the firm. She then assigned the case to a lackluster colleague in her office. On multiple occasions I voiced my concerns about the preparedness for the hearings. I was assured and reassured the firm was prepared. Leslie refused to handle a tangential issue related to my family law case and required another Contract. With no choice, I complied and provided another retainer, on top of the initial retainer. Then I was billed increments of 0.25 hours for 2, 5, 4, 2, 2, and 2 SENTENCES of responses back to me that totaled about 2.5 hours for a total of 17 non-legal sentences. One of these bills was even for an e-mail claimed to have been sent but was not. And yet another bill was for an issue totally out-of-scope for either Contract. Then I was billed TWICE for one event. needless to say, the budget was easily blown through and all the funds were depleted. This is where is got interesting. FINALLY Leslie decided to participate in my case, but not by being involved in my case, rather only in chasing ME for more money . Leslie asked for more money, avoided meeting with me to discuss the billing discrepancies despite at least 2 written requests, and summarily filed a Motion to Withdraw prior to her own written deadline that she didnt have the courtesy to call and tell me about, rather she sent me a Certified Mail. Then it got a little WORSE. During the hearing for the Motion to Withdraw, which was a hearing to also hear a substantive issue, Leslie opted to have the judge rule on her Motion to Withdraw BEFORE the substantive motion. That left me holding the proverbial legal bag alone, pro se, unprepared. Be careful here. As my Texas Granddad would say, I think Leslie got a little too big for her britches. Her only involvement was chasing dollars instead of being a client advocate and participating in a case that SHE interviewed for and accepted, knowing my entire personal situation. I would NOT recommend her or her practice.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this attorney. She represented my husband and failed to fulfill her responsibilities. Not only did she neglect to carry out the necessary tasks, but she also consistently sent us exorbitant bills without any justification. We found ourselves constantly reminding her to complete even the simplest of tasks. It is important for others to be aware of this attorneys lack of professionalism and competence. I would strongly advise against seeking her services.

First things first, Bauer is my pen name, but my real name is Brad Uptmore. Leslie has represented me in an over 3-year long divorce and custody battle. Leslie was fierce. She was aggressive. She was compassionate. We were up against a titan and the titan was toppled hearing after hearing. When I am inevitably dragged back to court by the opposition because they will never stop, I will have one choice in a lawyer with me-- Leslie Barrows. How else could a man, a cop, and in Denton County get full custody of his two kiddos? Thank you Leslie for saving our lives.

I have been professionally acquainted with Leslie Barrows for a number of years. She is an excellent Family Law Attorney with vast knowledge and experience. She is a blessing to our community and her clients. I have and would not hesitate to refer Leslie as an attorney to my family, clients, friends or acquaintances.

Leslie is such an amazing part of the community. She is a family law/divorce attorney with a servants heart. Ive ran into her at family court when I am there on behalf of CASA. She loves to help families through the good and bad times.
