Suzanne Leslie began her career working as a law clerk with Allen & Flatt (now Allen Flatt Ballidis & Leslie) and she has been with the firm for over 39 years. She is the owner attorney of the firm and oversees new client needs and staff responsiveness and she is ultimately responsible for success in over 200 cases each year.
Suzanne learned first-hand from her father, a prominent claims administrator and independent insurance adjustor for the County of Orange, what it takes to be a successful attorney. He would share stories of cases lost due to poor investigation tactics and by not choosing the right attorney for the right cases. He demonstrated an incredibly strong work ethic and Suzanne models this same work ethic and dedication in all of her client interactions.
Suzanne’s passion is to help those who come to the firm in need and to provide a safe place for them to get their lives back on track. In her role as Managing Partner, she has created a welcoming and family-like environment and this plays a part in the significant amount of referrals the firm receives.

You were wonderful throughout my case. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the process so that I could feel comfortable. When I was hurt, I really did not know where to turn and Suzanne was comforting and knowledgable. Thanks again for all you did.
