Maureen Mae McLeod

I wish I had seen the other reviews before I hired this lady. I can agree to each one of this review. I was referred to her by a close friend so I was excited to work with her as I had heard good things about her. She does not fight for her clients at all, she doesn't not listen and as a result is u...nable to communicate effectively. Just like others the defiant in my case walked away smiling. My final divorce deed is garbage . DO NOT USE HER !

I hired Ms. Mcleod in 2019 to handle my Legitimation & Child visitation case, I provide a lot of evidence that my children's mother was not being fair at all. I made her aware that covid had affected my income and that we needed to reevaluate my income statement. She didn't do anything when we got to... court. She barely barely made to court on time period because she lost track of her court dates, the court was held up for about thirty minute before she finally arrived. She allowed witnesses to testify against me that never met me before in life, without objected or questioning the validity of what was being said or presented. She didn't bring up the fact that my income went down, she didn't do a good job cross examining my me or my children's mother. Sho allowed false evidence to be admitted against me me, she basically sat and just stared at me as the lied on me. She didn't do any homework on my children's mom like the opposing attorney didn't on me. The case was rushed, we should have rescheduled the case for another date. The case was ran through, now I can no longer see my children because she mishandled my case. After court she ran to her car and never spoken to me again, or offered anytype of remedy to my negative situation. She could have advise me that I only had thirty days to appeal, witch I didn't know until it was too late. Now my child support if way more than i can pay and I am not allowed to visit with my daughter because of the blatant lies my child mom told that my attorney didn't even contest. I am stressed and hurt. I have exhausted all my funds and don't know what to do. She to this day 12/4/2020 never contacted me again.

Ironically, Maureen came recommended to me from a friend who was previously in a divorce proceeding and Maureen was hired by her ex-husband. My friend said, "Don't use my attorney, use the one my ex-husband hired as she was more effective." In my case, Maureen was able to quickly eliminate unreasonab...le positions presented by opposing counsel to get negotiations back to a reasonable level which allowed both sides to more quickly reach an agreement. While there is no such thing a good divorce, I believe Maureen saved both sides a lot of legal fees by helping us to focus on the real issues. I have referred her to two other individuals since then and will continue to do so!

I hired her for my divorce case and I strongly regret it. She did not fight for me at all! She let the other party's attorney do all of the work, of course in my ex's favor. The child support worksheet was calculated wrong, resulting in myself paying alot more than I was suppose to pay. She put up ...no fight at all. I feel as if my outcome would have been better had I represented myself. I recently re-filed with another attorney to get everything remodified. Do yourself a favor and pay extra to get good representation... You will thank me in the future! I have wasted so much money dealing with her...UGGGH!
