About

Leslie J. Wilsher is an attorney and was admitted to the New York bar in 1980.  Since 1981, she has concentrated in the area  of estate planning, estate and trust administration, and preparing and negotiating premarital and marital agreements.  She began to concentrate on these areas during her four years as an associate at Phillips Nizer Benjamin Krim & Ballon, and continued to do so during her nine years as an associate at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP.  She left Kelley Drye to become a solo practitioner, which she did for six years before joining Greenfield Stein & Senior, LLP, where she was an estate planning and estate administration partner for thirteen years.   She completed her basic mediation training with the New York Peace Institute (formerly part of Safe Horizon) in September of 2012, and participated in its apprenticeship program the following winter.  She completed a special course in divorce mediation in the spring of 2013.  Inspired by the excellence of these programs and the possibilities presented by alternative dispute resolution, she decided to transition her practice to the mediation of will contests, probate and estate administration disputes, separation and divorce agreements, and other family disputes.

Leslie Wilshire handled our mediation with professionalism and attention to detail. She kept us focused, calm, and kept many details in place and managed to be sure we did not miss any important aspects for future planning. She handled our wills and made sure we provided directions for the executors for many details regarding our estate and our children. Overall she has been a tremendous help to making our transition organized, thoughtful, and well planned. I would highly recommend her for the process of mediation and for estate planning and wills.

Leslie Wilsher drew up my will with trust provisions recently with a great deal of competence and patience. She was always available by phone or email quickly and I thought my questions and concerns were dealt with really well. I appreciate her knowledge and professionalism a great deal. I would happily recommend her to a friend interested in finding a great lawyer for estate planning and documents.

Leslie has been one of my most valued and trusted advisors for almost 20 years. From the complexities of U.S. estate planning to simple but arcane dealings with foreign bureaucracies Leslie has provided faultless legal services and representation. Simplifying the complex, while always putting my best interests first, I am enormously grateful to have found in Leslie a trustworthy confidante, efficient and knowledgable attorney, and shrewd representative to act in my stead when needed. Her legal and mediator services are highly recommended.

Leslie met with us to discuss our needs, prepared our documents in a timely fashion, and was most professional. When we called her with a last minute change, she was happy to oblige. I would recommend her services to anyone seeking professional help with their wills and related documents.

I find Ms Wilsher among the best attorneys I have encountered. She has a firm grasp of client interests, is available, and reasonably priced. I find that to be the perfect combination when needing legal assistance.
