Leslie’s practice is devoted to the representation of community associations in Virginia, D.C. and West Virginia.  Leslie has extensive experience developing community governing documents, amendments to governing documents and rules for community and homeowners’ associations.  She regularly counsels communities on construction warranty matters, covenants issues and collection of delinquent assessments. She also negotiates management and vendor contracts for clients and licenses and easements. 

Notably, Leslie recently negotiated a six-figure construction warranty settlement for an up-scale high-rise condominium in the District of Columbia.  She has also successfully helped nearly a dozen condominium associations become re-certified with the Federal Housing Administration and continues to provide this service for her condominium clients.
