Click to report rating    9/12/24   5     5     5     5     5   Nigel has a solid understanding of family law and many years of successful experience in this field. He knew how to navigate different stages of negotiations between my EX and I for our separation agreement. His services costed us far less than we expected. I recommend him with no reservations.

 5/22/17   5     5     5     5     5   Thanks to Nigel Macleod, my post-retirement is financially secured. RID: 185132
Click to report rating    4/26/17   2     1     1     1     1   Likes to get paid a lot for little work. Always in a rush. He had another client in a different room while he was still with me. Had to re-do my documents twice due to wrong date. Awful. Do not recommend. RID: 183864
Click to report rating    11/22/16   1     1     1     1     1   Used for his mediation services, Avoid him at all costs. He started all nice and quickly changed his tone and tried to prolong the mediation process as much as possible. Once we paid he was in a rush to get out of the office and was seen running out. He also yelled at his assistant numerous times. On top of all that he over billed us by quite a bit. I truly regret going to see him. RID: 177187
Click to report rating    2/4/14   5     5     5     5     5   Nigel helped me during a tough time, he was patient when i was angry (at my ex) he clearly explained my legal position in layman's terms. I never felt financially pressured, all fees were explained well in advance and there were no unpleasant surprises. He negotiated in my best interests. He did it fairly and with the interest of me and my child at the forefront of his actions. I recommended this lawyer to my friend going through a divorce and I would recommend him again RID: 131659
     2/4/14   5     5     5     5     5   Nigel was informative, helpful, and always in good humor. Answered all our questions and helped us get an uncontested divorce quickly and without any hiccups. He was very courteous and professional. He responded to inquiries quickly. He was exactly the lawyer we needed to make our divorce simple and painless. He even went out of his way to make sure that we were not paying any inordinate fees, and set us up with a mediator who charged us a fair amount. Our divorce order and certificate came through exactly when expected. I would recommend Nigel to anyone trying to get a simple divorce. He was great. We always left there talking about how lucky we were to have found a lawyer who understood what we were trying to do was just get divorced and not destroy one another. RID: 131655
Click to report rating    2/4/14   5     5     5     5     5   I highly recommend the services of Nigel for anyone dealing with separation and divorce. Unfortunately I had to go through three lawyers before I found someone who truly wanted to represent my interests. His responses to questions and information or updates were always prompt, professional and thorough. His knowledge and expertise are evident in offering different options for the client to consider, including possible outcomes if one were to choose any of those under consideration. I am very grateful that he was willing to pick up the pieces of my scattered situation and provide an objective perspective by rebuilding the process in order to obtain quick resolution without compromising further financial loss. I have since recommended him to others facing family matters and will continue to do so with the utmost confidence in his abilities. RID: 131648

Click to report rating    2/4/14   5     5     5     5     5   Excellent lawyer. Even when one of the parties was not represented by a lawyer. He was an excellent mediator and provided legal information. Both parties were satisfied. RID: 131644
Click to report rating    12/29/13   5     5     5     5     5   Nigel was thorough, committed, and understood the issues clearly. He provided clear detailed recommendations and respected our direction and decisions. The length and depth of Mr. MacLeod's experience became evident in and out of court. Overall, an intelligent lawyer, skilled, professional, and personable. RID: 129068

 11/6/12   1     1     1     1     1   Worst Lawyer EVER!! beware!! trust me you will thank me later...Because of him I barely see my son, and he went along with what the other party, the judge was even confused on what Nigel was doing cause he was suppose to be representing me but because the judge can't say anything she had to go along with the decision. And then he yelled at me in front of the other party which was completely embarrassing. TRUST ME DON'T DO IT. HE SEEMS LIKE HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING BUT IT WILL ONLY HURT YOU IN THE LONG RUN. RID: 94479
     7/3/12   2     1     1     1     1   This lawyer is the worst, a very poor listener, interrupts while you are talking, worst communicator, does not act on his own client's best interests, was more interested in negotiating in favour of the other party instead of yours. Agrees with what the other party wants instead of what his client wants. Only interested in how much money you have; instead of how much he can do for you. On the day of the court, he did not tell us prior to the Court that he had no intention of representing our best interest of shared custody, instead, he practically agreed to what the other party wanted which was full custody. When we asked him why, he stated, "why should I proceed, do you think you can afford to pay me?" This lawyer was very rude, no professionalism. I am very disgusted and disappointed in how he treated this case and we will never forget him for that. I will never recommend this lawyer to anyone. RID: 73713
     6/15/12   1     1     1     1     1   He does not represent the client's best interest. Put very simply - a lazy thief out to take advantage of people in vulnerable situations. RID: 72187
