I recently retained Mr. McIntyre for an arbitration based on a recommendation from my first lawyer. This was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Looking at the reviews already posted I see the same issues in my case. Mr. McIntyre encouraged me to accept everything without question and tried to make me feel good about doing so even though the facts do not support doing so and I know this now for sure after retaining a new lawyer. Once you sign a med/arb agreement it is impossible to get out of it seems so I do not recommend using Mr. McIntyre.

I was manipulated by my ex and his father and Don participated in this by witholding information from me. It has taken me almost 20 years to realize what had gone on. I questioned him many times and he couldn't recall the confidential phonecall that determined much of my financial future.

Going into a difficult divorce, my sense was that the matrimonial estate would be divided fairly/equally. Don indicated that the "fairest" agreement concludes when both sides feel they've given up too much, and the worst agreement is when one side thinks they "won"; won in the sense of crushing the other side, i.e., putting the other person on their knees. Don's work was consistent and even-handed. In the heat of a difficult and sometimes emotional process there was one bit of supporting documentation that was overlooked (by both sides) and Don was absolutely professional in acknowledging this miss and the situation was ultimately corrected. Today my ex and I get along very well - better than when we were married for sure. And much of this is thanks to Don's fair, objective advice and negotiation approach. If you're one who enjoys the courtroom "thrill of the kill", then Don's probably not your guy. But if it's fairness you're after, he is one of the best.

Unlike the other person rating, I had a brilliant result with Mr. McIntyre and my divorce was complicated as both I and my ex were in different countries, of different nationalities, and we married in Japan. He got me a legal divorce without my ex's knowledge or direct involvement at a time my (violent, bullying nasty and abusive) ex was playing "unreachable" in yet another country by ignoring all the correspondence. Mr. McIntyre found a way to make it all legal and get that creep out of my life for good. Happiest day of my life was when I paid my final very reasonable bill. My ex did not know he was divorced until he started rattling his cage two years later demanding money in exchange for a divorce. Imagine his surprise! Loser! MIC DROP! Thanks, Don!

I debated whether or not to post my review, however I would hate to see what happened to me happen to anyone else. Of you are thinking of using Don for Family Law matters, this info may save you. At the time my seperation agreement was drafted, I was very distraught over finances and not seeing my son, my state of mind on legal matters wasn't where it should have been. I also have a very, very controlling ex. Don didn't properly express my rights as a father to me and agreed to everything my ex proposed. At the time I thought that is how it had to be. Now, a few years later, I am in a very lengthy, very expensive legal battle trying to undo what Don did, and get proper access to my son. All 3 lawyers I have used are astonished that Don allowed me to agree to the terms in my agreement. I paid him big bucks to defend me and keep me informed, when all that happened was my ex dicated and Don listened. I urge you to visit a few lawyers before committing to one...it is worth it.
