LESLIE BRYAN HART
Leslie practices litigation in state and federal court with an emphasis on disputes involving contract litigation, and disputes between lenders and borrowers.
Leslie’s practice and clients are from a variety of fields, which means that every case and client is another opportunity for her to learn about a new industry or business. She savors that variety, and her ability to work with clients and guide them to solutions to their legal issues.
On the weekends, Leslie spends time with her family, roots for the University of Nevada, and hikes and bikes in the mountains around Reno.
