Her background as a prosecutor and private defense attorney gives her experience evaluating cases from different sides of the criminal justice system.

Gill earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of New Hampshire, graduating magna cum laude. She later graduated as valedictorian from Massachusetts School of Law in 2006. Her education in psychology and law supports a criminal practice involving witness credibility, client communication, factual investigation, and legal analysis. She is licensed to practice in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, providing a professional foundation for representing clients in matters that involve state criminal procedure, constitutional protections, and the evidentiary issues central to contested cases.

Gill served in the Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office from 2007 through 2019 and became First Assistant County Attorney in 2017. She prosecuted cases in superior court, managed a large prosecutorial office, and mentored attorneys. She was also a founding member of the Hillsborough County Superior Court Southern District Adult Drug Court. Her prosecution background includes substantial pretrial and jury trial experience, which she now applies in private practice when assessing charging theories, evidence, potential defenses, and courtroom strategy for accused clients.

Leslie Gill combines years of prosecution experience with criminal defense and civil practice. Her work covers charges ranging from impaired driving and drug cases to serious sexual assault, juvenile, and federal matters. Clients benefit from her familiarity with how prosecutors prepare cases and how contested evidence is presented in court. She approaches defense matters with careful preparation, attention to the client’s circumstances, and a practical understanding of the legal, procedural, and personal consequences that can accompany a criminal investigation or prosecution.
