Amicable Divorce Services, APLC - Pasadena, California

From the beginning, Leslie took the approach of setting the stage for my divorce process to be as peaceful as possible. She stayed the course no matter what. At times it was extremely difficult with the opposing party but she is very knowledgeable and really understands how to get things done. Thank you so much for making this as smooth as possible. You're amazing!

The Collaborative Divorce is an ideal balance between Mediation and Litigation. This approach to divorce not only made the process less painful and frightening, it was less expensive! Leslie was professional, knowledgeable and patient. The team was supportive and informative. In the end, we were able to reach a win-win agreement. I highly recommend Leslie and Amicable Divorce Services!

My husband and I were looking to divorce amicably after 28 years with love, respect, and dignity. We discovered Amicable Divorce Services (the perfect name for how we wanted to handle the process), and were deeply impressed with Leslie Howell and her assistant Jimmy Nkutu. They were both kind and professional and patiently walked us through every step of the process.

Leslie and Jimmy pay extreme attention to detail, are generous with their time, and helped to make this challenging transition as stress-free as possible.

I highly recommend their services.

Leslie did a great job explaining and walking us through the mediation process. It did take us a while to reach an acceptable compromise to both parties but the process was much less confrontational than going to court. The cost was also way less than litigating. Jimmy did a great job keeping us informed of the status of the paperwork and let us know when anything was missing so that the process was not unnecessarily delayed. If you have to mediate I would definitely recommend Amicable Divorce Services.

My friend used these services. She was so happy to have found this place. She was so relieved after her initial consultation with Leslie Howell because it was so informative. I have seen that her anxiety and confusion are gone after she met with Leslie. She is able to move forward and get things done that need to be taken care of. Thank you so much for helping her. If you know anyone who needs a consultation, please send to Amicable Divorce Services.

What to do when tax laws change and you need to get paperwork in to the court ASAP and a series of miscommunications leaves you very few days to do that AND needing an entirely new team? Leslie and Jimmy and the rest of the team jumped in feet first ready, willing, and able to make it happen! True, we needed to do our part and get a large amount of paperwork done in a short amount of time...but Leslie and her team made everything incredibly organized and clear and were open and available for questions. They turned on a dime and were able to prioritize our case so that we were able to do years worth of work in just a few days. On top of all that, they made us feel good. We went in expecting just to do the bare minimum, but ended up lovingly and easily addressing every issue! With Leslie's guidance. we both felt great about the process and the end result.
MAY 18, 2020 I'm updating my original 5-star review with another 5-star review. Leslie and Jimmy went above and beyond the call of duty when they took my divorce case last minute DURING THE HOLIDAYS at the end of 2018. They speedily (less than 7 days start to finish) ushered us through a complicated process and made it clear and as easy as things like this can be. My ex and I felt supported every step of the way. Recently, my ex died. I needed a copy of the divorce papers amid COVID-19 conditions and Leslie offered to take care of that for me only charging me the court cost. This act of kindness and goodwill shows that Amicable Divorce Services is truly a class act.

I had the pleasure of having Leslie represent me in a custody case. Leslie and her staff were very professional and make your case a priority. She listened to my concerns, formed a plan of action, and went to work. She resolved my issues in court and won my case on the first court date. I didn't even have to step foot in the court room. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is wanting great representation in the Pasadena and surrounding areas. 5 STARS!!!

Leslie and Jimmy are professional, timely and caring. They answered all of my emails and phone calls quickly, which made me feel at ease, especially with all of the stress of the situation. When I met with them, I felt like they listened and were fair, which was very important to me. This was a very stressful life moment, and Leslie and Jimmy helped me navigate this trying period. I always felt that no matter what happened, they'd be there for me, and that's all I could have asked for.
