Leslie's recent experience includes:
Obtained dismissal of an employee's disability and age discrimination case based on the plaintiff's failure to exhaust her administrative remedies.

The appellate decision resulted in a savings to the company of far more than a million dollars.

Defense of an oil & gas company in a dispute over royalty payments involving the representatives of the estates of the royalty owners and limited the husband’s estate’s recovery to a fraction of its initial demand.
Filed both dispositive and procedural motions which compelled a personal injury plaintiff to dismiss his lawsuit with prejudice rather than face a motion for attorneys’ fees and costs to recover defense costs.
Represented a man sued by his coworker for sexual harassment claim and obtained dismissal of claims against him.
Represented oil & gas company in pollution case and negotiated dismissal of claim instead of lengthy discovery process.
Represented mortgage servicing company in tort case filed by estate of woman whose property had been foreclosed upon and defended against claims of conversion, interference with contract, violation of 36 O.S. § 3604, and unjust enrichment. Obtained dismissal of all but one theory of recovery and negotiated a “walk away” with plaintiff to resolving remaining claim.
