Neveen is the BEST!
Neveen helped me through the toughest time of my life. I had a divorce case and she guided me through it each and every step. From the minute that I met her, she listened carefully, analyzed and answered all my questions, and she took the time to really fight for me against my ex and his lawyer. She is aggressive and also gives great advice. When I sat in courtroom with her and had her fight my case for me, she was aggressive and firm. If you want a superstar lawyer by your side that you can trust, trust in Neveen.

The Best Attorney ever!
I’m a little late I am very pleased with the services provided. Neveen McLeod went above and beyond stellar service. She kept in contact with me every step of the way and was very easy to contact. She explained every option in detail and was very clear. The judge the sat on my case stated I have one of best attorneys. I thank her once again and recommend her to anyone who can use her service.

Saved my life!
Neveen guided me through a very rough child support and custody battle. We walked away with all of our needs met and more financial support than I could have ever expected. In the court room, she is fearless! She is the BEST!

Cleaned Up A Horrible Mess Left by First Attorney
Ms. McLeod did an absolutely fantastic job for me. She helped drive a negotiation that cleaned up all kinds of incompetence and open holes left by my last attorney. Ms. McLeod was incredibly well prepared, had her arguments worked out and brought great closure which got me way more time with my daughter. My ex absolutely hated her. She was always professional, but she was no non-sense and able to call out her schemes and games. She was a sharp tack and totally shut down my ex's schemes. I give Ms. McLeod my endorsement one-hundred million times over. I so wish I had her as my attorney the first go round, but she did a lot to make a bad deal more tolerable with respect to access time with my daughter which was my number one concern. If you have sense enough to start off with a touch cookie, then this is the attorney you want to hire. I started off with a nice guy - trying to be civil, and ended up putting myself and my access to my daughter at extreme jeopardy. Divorce is war. As much is it is not in my natural grain and faith do be that way, you have to come at it hard. Another attorney gave me advice that I wish I had listened to. It's always easier to be nice later than it is to start off nice and then get tough later. Ms. McLeod is totally a nice person, but she will be tough when it comes to protecting your interests and helping you to think clearly.

Best lawyer around!
Ms. McLeod helped me in a tough time of my life. She fought hard for me every step of the way and helped me get custody of my kids. She responds quickly to emails and voice messages. She is intelligent, caring, and knows her stuff. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a custody battle.

Highly recommended
Neveen made me feel extremely at ease about my trial, and took care of everything. Her confidence and professionalism throughout the consultation and process distinguished her from the other attorneys I discoursed with. Neveen comes highly recommended, and I would hire her again in heartbeat.

Legal service quality
Neveen McLeod offers outstanding legal service both in terms of consulting as well as a hired attorney. As an example, under very rigorous time constraints (within a day), she managed to prepare the necessary paperwork and means to serve the notice. Neveen is also very prompt in updating her clients with latest stage in the legal process and provides excellent advice as to what should be done in the subsequent steps. Moreover, she does not pressure her client into making any rash decisions that helps alleviate the ordeals of the divorce process.

Guardianship Case
Ms Mcleod was a big help to me as I live in Texas and had the duty to take over the guardianship of my brother when his wife died. I felt well cared for though I was in Texas and my brother's residence was in Maryland. Good work well done.

Child Support Case
Mrs. McLeod was very professional from day one. Able and willing to meet with me within 24 hours of me contacting her. She always was available even after work hours. Sometimes it would be like 9pm and I would send her an email not expecting her to respond until the next day. But on several occasions she immediately responded back to me. She also always ensured that everything would be okay and that I was doing the right thing. I never had to worry about anything. Mrs. McLeod was always there at a difficult time in my life to fight for me and with me.
