Her practice encompasses all aspects of estate planning and estate administration, as well as a broad range of probate matters. Before joining the firm, Lesley was in private practice in Richmond, VA, where she worked with a wide range of trusts and estates issues, particularly those that involved representation of fiduciaries and beneficiaries in disputed matters. She also served as in-house counsel to the personal trust department of a regional bank and taught estate and trust administration as an adjunct professor.

Lesley has been actively involved in volunteer activities in Greenwich, and served for three terms as an elected member of the Greenwich Representative Town Meeting. She enjoys landscape painting, gardening, reading, playing tennis, and skiing with her husband and three children.
