I've had the blessing of Leslie Bottimore representing my family law, post-secondary education support case that involved an ex-husband/estranged father from hell...and that is putting it mildly!! This case was drug through the courts for years, off and on, due to my ex and his crazy making abuse of power via the family court system. He made it his life's work to harass our college age child, myself and even my new husband and our extended family members. Leslie is not only compassionate and kind, but has always come to court well prepared, confident and knows how to shut down a crazy man, time and time again. She may be soft spoken, but she is definitely a powerhouse with her words and skills within the legal system. She is very familiar with the judges, how they operate and how best to approach a case. She was able to accomplish everything our child needed to complete their college degree and keep support until they are able to get on their feet. We feel so grateful for all she has done through the years to help keep the support going for the benefit of our child. Trust her judgment and you can't go wrong! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is forced to deal with an ex or soon to be ex-spouse who is trying to make your life a living hell. She will put a stop to it and make sure you are represented in a professional and justice oriented manor. I might also add that Leslie has an amazing staff that has been with her for years, her right hand gal, Kathy, and also, Evelyn. I have mainly worked with Kathy through the years and she has been such a kind and professional person to work with. She has always been empathetic to the tyrant my ex-husband enjoyed being to our family and was there for us, both emotionally and professionally, with her sound legal guidance and advice on my "to do" items for their office. Just know if you are in need of a real Pitbull in the courtroom, along with kind hearted support, Leslie and Team are your people!! I can't thank them all enough!

I truly had a great experience, Leslie is a such a genuine person

After meeting with other attorneys Leslie took her time with me and really listened to fully understand my situation and patiently explained to me the process and all of my options. She was kind and compassionate and so knowledgeable. I knew that I found the right attorney and I'm so grateful to have the balance of her experience, professionalism and compassion.

I, Kathleen Forrest, was one of two attorneys present at the mediation with Ms. Bottimore and Courtney Moore. My client, (the father) and I had nothing but praise for Ms. Bottimore. Mediations are very challenging especially when one party’s proposal is unreasonable. The parties reached agreement and settled the case, because of Ms. Bottimore’s ability to connect to both parties and reach common ground. Ms. Bottimore did not just exchange proposals between the parties; she made the parties focus on the best interest of the child and the parties eventually settled. Since reaching agreement, the parties have been following that parenting plan, and have been able to successfully co-parent, without incident. I highly recommend Ms. Bottimore to handle my mediations, especially, when a case involves children.

Best Divorce lawyer in Pierce county.. they were recommended to me and I Would recommend to anyone.. Very satisfied with the out come.

I am sorry to say that I would never recommend this firm. Doing the process of my divorce. There were two of Leslie's assistants that always found ways where I could not speak to my attorney. I remember a time when I went to the office to speak to my attorney and Evelyn cut me off and said that I could not speak to her. I had asked many times not to print my documents because it was already sent to my email and I did not want to pay postage. I was being charged for everything. They are only interested in getting your money. I would get invoices of my balance and would be surprised that I was being charged so much after I had given them more money. I was unaware of more chargers because I thought the money I had given them was enough. But it wasn't. The communication is horrible. I remember I went into the office one day to drop of more documents and one of there clients was very upset and was yelling at Evelyn and asking why cant I speak to my attorney. She also said when I call you always yell at me and of course Evelyn said she did not. That was false information because when I would call and ask questions she would have a nasty attitude and would want to argue with me as well. As my divorce was wrapping up I thought the money I had just given them again was enough. Well Well I was in shock when they sent me the final bill of 1900.00. Know one communicated with me that I was being charged more money. I called the office and spoke to Kathy and told her I don't have anymore money. She said we don't allow monthly payments. I told her then I don't know what I'm going to do. I explained to her every time you requested for money I paid it. So I have been making payments and noticed they charge interest if your bill is not paid in full. Please do your research when looking for a good attorney.

Terrible for mediation. She’s all rainbows and butterflies and let’s hold hands which may work for some couples, but she completely lacks the ability to read the room and adapt to people who need a more black and white approach. I would say we reached a settlement despite her not because of her. Very frustrating day.

I did my own research & most of the paperwork. She was there for the pitch & retainer. Dont waste your time & money with her

Leslie has been representing a family member in a difficult protection order case for the past nine months. Ms. Bottimore has handled the case professionally and compassionately. Her office staff have been very supportive and have worked hard as well.

Ive had several lawyers throughout the ordeal my ex has and continues to put me through. I can confidently and safely claim that She has been THE BEST, bar-none. I hope to continue to keep her on retainer until I am DONE with my ex issues. She is worth every penny! I will say the key things I love about HER is: She cares (you are not just a paycheck) about your situation. She is strong and knows how to win against toxic opponents. She is smart and knows what to go after in court. Im very happy and glad I found her.

(Translated by Google) Attorney Bottimore helped a person in our congregation and handled the case with compassion and professionalism. I think she is a good lawyer and speaks Spanish.

Attorney Bottimore helped me with my case for a modified parenting plan. She is very knowledgable when it comes to parenting plans and really will fight to win your case. She is a kind person and came through for me when I needed her to. Attorney Bottimore dealt with me fairly as it relates to billing, she did not over charge me. Overall I am pleased with her services.

Our family has had the pleasure of working with Bottimore & Associates over the last 15 years, they have helped us with our Sons Guardianship and various other personal and estate matters. We have found Leslie and her team to be professional and great to work with. I would highly recommend them, and even in fact we moved to California 10 years ago and really even working long distance with them has been a pleasure.

Leslie helped me with my divorce. She handled paperwork quickly and thoroughly. My ex was trying to obtain full custody of my kids and alimony, Leslie helped me get full custody and no alimony. She is friendly, professional and easy to work with. I will definitely be using her for any lawyer services in the future.

Leslie is an awesome lawyer and is vert knowledgeable, she had her best interest in my case

Leslie and team did an excellent job with my case. To have someone like her in your corner and advocating for you is priceless. I would highly recommend them.

The Bottimore team is a well oiled machine that works tirelessly for their clients. In court Leslie is worth her weight in gold. She spent a great deal of time with my son to make sure she was prepared for the good as well as the bad that may come up. It was a pleasure to watch her estract justice in court, and produce a fair outcome for my son. Eternally Grateful that you were there when we needed the best. Thank You

Very thorough and was a bull dog when we needed her to be. Took care of my mother's divorce and my mother has never been happier and stress free. So referred and had my friend hire her during a bitter divorce of a cheater who left her for a much younger woman and tried taking her two young children. Happy to see that they had a happy conclusion. Would recommend!
