About

Ms. Loftus offers a concierge approach to her clients. She begins with the assumption that each case calls for special handling, since no two family law cases are alike. After the initial consultation, she works with her clients closely, to provide them with a basic understanding of Florida family law proceedings. Ms. Loftus and the client are then able to work together to ensure that there are articulated, agreed-upon, legitimate and realistic goals. After the goals are established, Ms. Loftus provides her clients with a range of options designed to meet those objectives. She reviews the advantages and disadvantages of each option and provides her recommendation. Ms. Loftus believes strongly in this approach as the best means of seeing that the client is empowered and fully-informed, and that if significant sums are to be spent on legal fees, the client understands why and knows ahead of time that significant fees will be incurred.Because of the vicissitudes inherent in the family law court system, Ms. Loftus believes it is in her clients’ interests to resolve family law issues if possible outside of the courtroom. No lawyer can guarantee what results might be obtained after a hearing or trial before the court. Should efforts at a reasonable mediation be unsuccessful, however, Ms. Loftus works with clients to see that their legal objectives are pursued in court through motion practice and trial. At all times, Ms. Loftus presents her clients’ positions in a vigorous, thorough manner designed to achieve success without sacrificing professionalism.

Leslie is the very best lawyer I could have had for my very stressful and complex custody case. She navigated the waters fearlessly and confidently. She was able to help me gain full custody of my daughter and also gain the protection we desperately needed. Her professionailism, knowledge and attention to details is unparalleled. She was always available and responded very quickly to any communications. Leslie Loftus is the fighter you want in the ring fighting for you!!! So grateful for her!!

The process of divorce can feel overwhelming, dark, and hopeless, at least that's my experience. After years of hard work creating and later selling my business, I was facing significant financial devastation. That, however, paled in comparison to the trauma to my children and the loss of my family unit. The family court system and the process are cold, it operates without empathy and it’s filled with opportunistic players at every step. Leslie Loftus and her team are the exceptions. They care. They stay on top of all aspects of the process and they demonstrated to me that their motivation was not to extract money from vulnerable parties to a divorce lawsuit. Refreshingly, her firm provides support holistically, caring for the emotional wellbeing of all involved along with the utmost sensitivity to the financial aspect while she employs her mastery of the law and legal system. After navigating truly horrific obstacles, Leslie and her team delivered a settlement agreement that was fair and reasonable. I have no doubt that without her support and expertise the outcome could easily have been disastrous. What is extra special, is that Leslie and her team’s professional, empathetic and caring approach is authentic. In my case, she continues to check in, offer support, and provide guidance from time to time. She never nickels and dimes and is very sensitive and cooperative with respect to how she bills for her services. This may sound like a scripted review, it’s not. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to hear more about my case and experience with Leslie Loftus and Loftus Law, LLC.

I was fortunate so fortunate, to have Leslie as my attorney. I had consults with 2 other lawyers, but when I met Leslie I knew she was the one. I was right! She's honest, ethical, and I was very pleased with the outcome. She and her team are kind, caring, and professional. In a difficult situation, like a divorce, they make it easy.

Words could never express my sincerest gratitude towards Leslie Loftus and her team. The professionalism and expert handling of my case allowed me, ( the Dad ) to obtain sole custody of my only child. Leslie has the skill and experience to navigate the treacherous waters of Family Law. I had what I thought, was an insurmountable mountain to climb to protect my rights as a father, and to protect an innocent child. Leslie made this all happen! I know for a fact no one else could of handled this extremely complex custody fight. I will be eternally grateful towards Leslie and her team. Thank you so very much!!

Leslie Loftus with Loftus Law is beyond amazing. I can not be happier with the end result (divorced May 2019). Ms. Loftus is extremely knowledgeable, a true expert in her field. She is abundantly thorough as she helped my in areas that I did not even think or know about. I also found Ms. Loftus to be remarkably understanding and always felt she was on my side. I highly recommend Leslie Loftus and Lofts Law for any family law needs.

Leslie Loftus helped us find the right attorney for our needs as she didn't do the type of work we needed. She is very well-respected in town and knows who the best attorneys are to get the best job done. Thank you for a great recommendation to help us quickly and effectively handle our estate needs.

Ms. Loftus is an intelligent, skilled, sensitive and purposeful attorney. She approaches her work with poise, elegance and grace, combined with a fierce sense of integrity, duty and loyalty. Among her many and varied strengths, her absolute forte' is taking care of business in the least antagonistic, yet most cost-effective manner for her client. She can fight when it's called for but she does not sacrifice her personal or professional ethics in doing so. One is always made to feel they are the single most important client she has. Ms. Loftus enjoys an excellent reputation and it has been earned by her, not gifted to her. Should I have need of an attorney in the future, she will be my first choice for all matters pertaining to family court, and her recommendation of an attorney for any other matters would be viewed as very persuasive, indeed.

Leslie is simply wonderful. She and her staff have always made themselves available to me and explained every set during this year long process. Having been in Law Enforcement for over 15 years, I have never faced anything this difficult or stressful in my personal life. Thanks to Leslie my life and the life of children is getting better. Leslie has become more than a lawyer to me, she has become a friend. I can never thank her enough.

Leslie and her team helped me navigate a challenging 3-year divorce. Their availability, compassion and support are a rare commodity...and priceless during the emotional chaos of most divorces. They consistently maintained the moral high ground, never sinking to the shameful level so comfortable to many 'professionals' nowadays. I have no doubt this is why Leslie and her team are so highly regarded by their peers. Five stars and two thumbs up.

I've known Leslie for years and she has helped me when I needed to find an attorney. She is well-connected in the community and really cares about her clients. Her character ethics are impeccable. Her family law clients that I have talked with are very happy with her results.
