Success is never a straight line but rather an upward climb, and the story of Alison Leslie exemplifies that. Despite wanting to quit her first year of law school, her confidence and determination never let the words “You can’t” stop her from achieving her goal. So much so that after graduating from Seton Hall University and working at two boutique law firms, she opened her practice at the early age of 28! In this episode, she reflects on her experience entering the legal field and how the values she learned growing up helped her get by. She talks about her experience in law school and Catholic school, exciting anecdotes from her Court TV internship, and the knowledge she has gained from more than 20 years of family law practice. She credits her mother and the nuns at her high school for helping her grow into the confident, strong woman she is today—a great example of what can happen when you are surrounded by strong, driven women and are inspired by them: you develop into one yourself!
