About Leslie S.
Leslie S. Harkavy built a steady path into law over the course of the 1980s. She earned a B.A. from Lafayette College in 1981 and a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in 1985. Those credentials led her to a career practicing in Massachusetts and before the Federal Circuit.
She is licensed to practice in Massachusetts and admitted to appear in proceedings before the Federal Circuit. Over the years she has handled matters that require both state and federal attention. The combination of state and appellate federal work has shaped how she approaches case preparation and client counseling.
In 2019 she became owner of Nadeau Harkavy LLC. That move formalized a practice platform she uses to represent individuals and organizations across different forums. As owner she manages both the legal work and the practical details of running a small law office, from client intake to case strategy and file management.
Harkavy also serves as a Notary Public in Massachusetts. That credential supports certain transactional aspects of her practice and is a routine part of client work when documents need official acknowledgment. She maintains professional standards for filings and notarizations and keeps up with procedural rules that affect both state and federal matters.
She holds membership in the Massachusetts State Bar and participates in the professional community that surrounds the court system and local legal institutions. That association offers a platform for continuing legal education and collegial contact, resources she draws on to stay current with changes in practice and procedure.
Her work at Nadeau Harkavy LLC involves representing clients in both state-level matters and cases that present federal questions, including appeals before the Federal Circuit. She mixes courtroom readiness with attention to transactional detail and notarial requirements. She continues to practice law through Nadeau Harkavy LLC, handling matters in Massachusetts and in federal proceedings.
