Great Lawyer! Highly recommended!

Brendan McLeod is a great attorney and I highly recommend him! When I contacted Brendan, I was facing some serious charges. He immediately knew how to handle my case and fought aggressively for my best interests. Throughout the whole process Brendan put my mind at ease , kept me informed , and also... set my expectations realistically. He has an incredible grasp of the legal system and knows how to effectively represent his client's best interests.

Great deal maker and trial attorney

He said from the beginning, "the offer is always available." He also said, "don't worry. I know. If I tell you not to worry trust me. If I tell you to worry then think about it." Thank you Mr. McLeod.

Fantastic lawyer and good friend.

Even friends need lawyers too. When my oldest was in trouble Brendan defended him like his own child. He has been a loyal and fiercely defensive friend for 30 years. Beyond friendship, you will be lucky to have him represent you or your family.

Brandon is the best

Very busy, a little hard to get in touch with, but is there when necessary. And let me tell you, a feeling of safety when he is there. Thanks for your help and certainly I will come to this site and do this! The least I owe you.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Brendan McLeod. As a former public defender, Brendan knows the criminal justice system backwards and forwards. He has the type of relationships with prosecutors and judges to ensure that his clients' rights and interests are protected. Brendan knows how to try a case and he is genuinely concerned for his clients' wellbeing. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
