A lioness of the Maryland bar
If you are a potential client with concerns about children, there’s no better attorney in Maryland then Gwen McLeod. She is friendly, confident (but not blustery), trustworthy, ethical and accessible. Before trial, you don’t want to be the subject of one of her depositions and I was certainly glad ...
Gwendolen C Lesh Mcleod's Lawyer Endorsements
"One of the toughest and most respected lawyers in the county. Highly recommended."
"Gwen is held in the highest regard by lawyers, mediators and judges, for good reason."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Gwen for years and have been the opposing counsel in cases with her. She has always acted with professionalism. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of family law. She fights hard for her clients and receives favorable outcomes for them."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Ms. Mcleod is a strong advocate in the courtroom where it counts the most. She fights hard for her clients, is organized and effective. I have seen her in court and I have represented her clients when they have been charged criminally; they LOVE her. Ms. Mcleod is a domestic attorney; however, she knows how to protect her clients when it gets dirty. Unfortunately, false accusations are made and clients get arrested. She will not let her clients down. She is a criminal attorney's dream with respect to being prepared, available and having done what was necessary to protect the client who has become a criminal defendant. She grabs her successfully argued Protective Orders, transcripts of contempt hearings, depositions, - everything needed to assist her client who is now enduring the added burden of criminal court . As tough as she is, and as strong as she sounds, she is also a kind and compassionate attorney. She deserves the respect she has earned."
"Gwen McLeod is a smart, aggressive and caring attorney. She is responsive to the needs of her clients and a strong advocate on their behalf. I highly endorse this attorney."
