Leslie Hope Abramson (born October 6, 1944) is an American criminal defense attorney best known for her role in the legal defense of Erik Menendez.Born in Flushing, Queens, New York, Abramson graduated from Queens College, and in 1969 received a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from UCLA School of Law.Abramson was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1970. She began her career in the Los Angeles County Public Defender's office and developed a reputation as a fierce advocate for her clients.She stirred controversy when it was revealed during the Menendez trial that she had Erik's psychiatrist delete and rewrite passages of the doctor's notes. When asked by the judge about it she twice invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. As a result, an investigation was launched by the state bar. Following a three-year investigation the state bar closed its case "after deciding that there was insufficient evidence to conclude she violated ethical rules in the Menendez brother's retrial."
