Michelle MacLeod

Michelle not only helped me resolve an issue with my previous employer but also provided emotional support throughout the process as this was the first time in my life I was in need of legal representation. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal help especially with regard to discriminatio...n cases. She also got back to me fairly quickly upon my initial correspondence with her (unlike some other lawyers I reached out to) and was willing to fully hear me out and assist me to the best of her ability. Additionally she kept me in the loop in a timely manner throughout the process. She is the best and well worth the price you pay for her expertise!

When I got my pregnent, my boss thought it would be OK to just fire me. Fortunately, I found Michelle and she took my case on contingency. She explained that what my employer did was totally illegal, and she was really mad. I can't discuss the numbers, but I am happy with what Michelle got for me.... Also, she cared about me and my pregnency.

After working for my employer almost 30 years, I found myself in a very difficult situation where I was being pushed out of my position as a senior executive due solely to my age. Michelle helped me negotiate a very fair buy-out that enabled me to move forward with my career and did so in a very pro...fessional manner. Even the other attorney thanked her for her professionalism. I have no doubt that without Michelle I would still be working there, suffering and demoted, or that I would have been fired with cause and left with nothing. I joked with Michelle that she was sometimes more of a therapist than attorney but more expensive--that is what I needed at the time, and I really did appreciate what she called "hand-holding."

I talked with several employment attorneys before hiring Michelle to assist with my severance dispute. I ended up going with her because of a very good referral from a close friend who used her for a non-compete matter he had as an EVP. Michelle was well-versed in all aspects of executive severance... and got me everything I wanted. It took awhile, but that was not her fault--there were several delays on my employer's part. Despite this, Michelle kept them on track and kept me updated. Her fees were reasonable, which I really appreciated. Could not be happier.
