Leslie L. Gladstone concentrates his practice in all areas of litigation, including criminal defense, workers compensation, medical and legal malpractice, deceptive practices, personal injury as well as with wills and estates.

Getting to know Leslie L. Gladstone...

I became a lawyer because... It is a profession where I could both make a living for my family and assist people in receiving justice.

What I like most about the law is... the ability to get a just and honorable verdict for my client.

My most rewarding case was... a recent medical malpractice case where my client had persuaded her 24-year-old daughter to get some help at a psychiatric facility because she was depressed and had attempted suicide. When she later committed suicide at that facility, I filed a wrongful death suit which resulted not only in a substantial verdict for my client, but also resulted in major changes at the psychiatric facility to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

I founded the Law Office of Leslie L. Gladstone, P.A. because... I wanted to be independent and able to only take cases that I believed were just.

What makes the Law Office of Leslie L. Gladstone, P.A. different from other law firms? We genuinely care about our clients. Our work reflects upon who we are as people as well as attorneys. Although we are in business to make a living for our families, the interests of our clients is always foremost and always above our individual or firm interests.
 
My favorite quote is... "One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish wasters through a marsh, without either honor or observation". Sir Walter Scott

When not at work, I enjoy... home improvement tasks, assisting my wife in her pottery sales at weekend shows, web surfing, digital photography, and occasionally fishing or boating.
