This "inside-out" understanding of how institutional decisions are made — and where leverage actually resides — is the foundation of her consulting practice.

Her deep experience with the legal process allows her to provide a "litigation-aware" strategy — helping clients resolve high-stress situations through sophisticated negotiation before they escalate.

She continues to provide select, high-level representation for clients in both employment and personal injury matters.

Accessibility

Accessibility Statement

Leslie Leone Law is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including visitors who rely on assistive technology.

Our Standard

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These are the guidelines referenced by U.S. Department of Justice guidance and widely used as the benchmark for accessible websites.

What We Have Done

This site was audited against WCAG 2.1 Level AA in September 2026. As part of that review we:

  • Made every interactive control reachable and operable using only a keyboard.
  • Ensured all text meets or exceeds the required contrast against its background.
  • Added a visible focus indicator so keyboard users can always see where they are.
  • Added a “Skip to main content” link and proper page landmarks and headings.
  • Connected every form field to a visible label, and made form errors clear, specific, and announced to screen readers.
  • Ensured the site reflows without horizontal scrolling on small screens and at high zoom.
  • Made the site respect your own system settings for reduced motion and increased contrast.

You Do Not Need a Special Mode

This site is built to work directly with the assistive technology you already use — screen readers such as VoiceOver, NVDA, or JAWS, keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom, and your operating system’s contrast and motion settings. There is no separate accessibility mode to switch on, and we do not use an accessibility overlay widget.

Known Limitations

We are aware of the following and are working to address them:

  • Some third-party content, such as web fonts loaded from outside providers, is not fully under our control.
  • Our booking form is a preliminary intake tool. If any part of it is difficult to use, please contact us and we will take your information directly.

Tell Us About a Problem

If you encounter any barrier on this site, or need information from it in a different format, please tell us. We treat these reports seriously and will work with you to get you the information or service you need.

Call (415) 299-0066. Please describe the page you were on and the difficulty you experienced, and we will respond as promptly as we can.

Enforcement and Feedback

This statement reflects our ongoing effort rather than a claim of perfection. Accessibility work is continuous, and feedback from the people who use this site is the most valuable input we receive.
