Leslie Hirschberg | Calabasas Divorce & Family Lawyer

I believe that I made a big difference in the lives of my mediation clients in a matter in which the parties intended to relocate to different areas of the city. After facilitating communications in addressing each party's desire to maintain a close family, I was able to effectuate an agreement between the parties to maintain their present residence as a 'birdsnest' for their young children, while each of the parties moved in and out during their respective custodial periods.

I built a successful practice by providing excellent client service and support. Lawyer.com is the first time I have used any type of referral service in order to increase my clientele. All of my clients are obtained as a a result of referrals from former clients.

Clients should look to attorneys with a familiarity, an expertise, in any given area of practice, as well as to attorneys who will devote the time and attention to them. One of the most important things to look for in an attorney is the ability and willingness to listen to clients.

Local knowledge is more important to the success of cases in the area of litigation than in mediation, in which individual knowledge- knowledge of the parties and their unique circumstances- is more important.

I can direct parties as to the best course of action going forward in their matter depending upon their goals- i.e., mediation as opposed to litigation; dissolution as opposed to legal separation etc.

I only need to know the present circumstances off the parties, as well as what they perceive to be their goals for which they are retaining counsel.

What differentiates me from my peers is my willingness to listen to clients intently and actively, and to dévote the time and attention to their cases that they merit. I work tirelessly for my clients at all phases of their proceedings.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is to assist parties to achieve resolution of their issues, and to see the impact of that resolution on them and their families.

I am passionate about animal rights and the environment. I am an avid reader, news, film and arts consumer.

I am and have been a volunteer at a local food pantry for over ten years. I have in the past assisted members of the public in obtaining domestic violence and civil harassment restraining orders. I have always been an active volunteer in local schools and community organizations.
