Shriver cited “irreconcilable differences,” and also requested joint custody of her and the former California governor’s two minor-aged children. The couple also has two other older children.

Five Stars5 Leslie has been the strongest representation I could ask for

Leslie has been the strongest representation I could ask for in a very complicated, emotional matter. She has continuously looked out for my best interest and the best interest of my son. She is always prompt in getting back to me and in keeping me well informed about my case.
