LESLEY ATKINSON
I graduated from the University of Baltimore in May of 2002 with a Juris Doctorate (JD) degree. In July, 2022, I sat for the Maryland Bar Exam and was formally admitted to Maryland Bar on December 17, 2002.
In my 20 years as a practicing attorney, I have successfully defended thousands or clients throughout Maryland in the fields of Criminal Law, DUI and Jailable Traffic Matters, Peace Orders, Domestic Violence Protective Orders, and related Family Law Matters including Divorce and Child Custody.
I have a passion for serving our Veteran population. Often times our combat Veterans come back to the States broken whether it be from PTSD or physical trauma. Some issues we see are homelessness, mental illness, and substance abuse including drug or alcohol abuse. As a society we do not do enough to support those that have so valiantly given so much for this country.
Currently, I am a member of the Baltimore County Bar Association and the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorney's Association.
In my spare time, I enjoy being a baseball dad and a volleyball dad.
