In recent years, she has had a string of victories in employment cases, including back-to-back, multi-million dollar verdicts in Milan v. City of Vallejo and Metzner v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals. Given her track record, it is not surprising that she has been invited to become a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), the nation’s most prestigious association of trial attorneys and judges. ABOTA, which has only 6000 members, works to uphold the jury system and to elevate the standards of integrity, civility and professionalism in the legal system. Membership, which is by invitation, is limited to those attorneys who have tried ten cases to jury verdict. Leslie is honored to have been invited to join the group, and looks forward to joining them in the important work that they do within the legal profession and community
