Leslie F. Ditlow Esquire

Leslie Ditlow earned her B.S. in History & Politics from Drexel University in 1998, where she was accepted into the Drexel Honors Program. She went on to earn her J.D. from Widener University School of Law in 2001 and was admitted into the International Legal Honor Society, Phi Delta Phi.

For over twenty years, Leslie has focused primarily on criminal defense, trying both felony and misdemeanor cases—including a non-capital murder jury trial that resulted in a not guilty verdict on Murder in the First Degree.

Over her twenty-five years of legal experience, she has expanded her practice to include family law, juvenile dependency and delinquency, involuntary commitment proceedings, immigration, bankruptcy, and contracts. Beyond litigation, she has successfully handled hundreds of hearings involving custody, support, and Protection from Abuse matters, and is committed to pursuing collaborative, non-adversarial resolutions whenever possible.

​

Leslie’s practical experience is formed by her life as a single mother of two children, who serve as her daily inspiration. Her personal journey has given her deep empathy for clients navigating abusive, controlling, or addictive relationships and the profound impacts these challenges have on families.
