Attorney Information
Overview
Leslie Edwards is a lifelong Seattle resident who is committed to legal aid and helping people navigate challenging situations with a compassionate, client-centered approach.
During law school, Leslie completed a Health Law Concentration and focused on public interest law. She gained experience helping clients with health care and housing issues through internships with the Northwest Justice Project, where she assisted clients fighting improper insurance denials and discharge from long-term care facilities, and the Washington State Bar Association’s Moderate Means Program, where she helped clients facing housing and family law problems access legal assistance. Leslie also interned with the UCLA Voting Rights project, completed a Hazelton Research Fellowship in procedural election law, and participated in UW’s Regulatory Environmental Law and Policy clinic.
Before attending law school, Leslie spent nearly a decade working in health policy and advocacy in Washington state. This included both working directly with community members struggling to access care as well as legislative and regulatory advocacy to address systemic barriers.
Outside of work, you can find Leslie hiking and playing clarinet with professional orchestras across the greater Seattle area.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
