Neveen helped me with my custody modification. She was very professional and listened to (and fought for) my every concern. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing an excellent attorney!
"I highly endorse Ms. McLeod. She is an excellent attorney and always represents her clients with the highest degree of integrity and expertise. I would recommend her to anyone facing criminal charges."
"I worked with Ms. McLeod on a difficult and complex estate probate matter that also involved a guardianship. We spent many hours together and I became well acquainted with her knowledge, integrity and work ethic. I think she is a rising star. She's very good and I have no doubt will become an expert in her chosen fields of practice."
"I endorse Neveen's work without hesitation. I have seen her in the courtroom as a fellow prosecutor and she is top-notch. You will not find a more aggressive, passionate, or skilled lawyer for their client."
"Neveen Mcleod is extremely dedicated to her work. You will find no other lawyer more knowledgeable than her. Simply put, I would never want to see her at opposing counsel's table."
