Very professional, easy to talk to, and gets matters handled in a timely manner.

I first spoke with David McLeod in December 2020 . I had to retain an attorney quickly due to an emergency custody hearing. My previous attorney was very Ill and unable to represent me. Mr. McLeod met with me and prepared to represent me in less than a week . The emergency hearing was on New Year’s Eve. I cannot express to you enough the level of care and consideration this office has shown me over the last two years. If you want an attorney who truly cares about you and does not treat you like a number I highly recommend this law firm. David McLeod and Alyssa Vaughn as well as the entire office staff went above and beyond to help me and my children in one of the most stressful times of our lives. I cannot thank him and his office enough for the level of professionalism and care I received. I truly believe McLeod law firm sincerely cares about their clients and the impact the outcome of their cases have on their lives. I sincerely cannot express with words the gratitude I have for the advice and help I received, nor the level of trust I have for this legal team. To say I highly recommend this office is an understatement.

My husband and I had this law firm prepare our wills. They did an excellent job. They were very professional and wonderful to work with. They helped us develop the wording we needed to make sure our seven children would know our last wishes. This was a very pleasant experience and I will use them again for any future legal advise I may need.

David is Great! He was extremely helpful during my very stressful divorce. I would strongly recommend him.

The terms "helpful" "honest" "trustworthy" and "lawyer" often seem like achild's test to identify which term is not like the others; not so in thecase of Mr. McLeod. These terms all describe him perfectly. David wentabove and beyond my expectations in his council and advice. He wasadamant when pointing out areas of the law that I could, in fact, do on myown and save myself money. At the same time, Mr. McLeod was clear when he felt professional advice was needed to avoid any trouble.David McLeod's friendly good steward approach to the law was a refreshing change from the jaded hour-inflating court hounds that many of us expect when dealing with lawyers. He really did have my best interests in mind. Mr. McLeod is exactly what we SHOULD expect from our lawyers, but rarely find.I highly recommend Mr. McLeod's legal services. If he can't help you, orif he knows you can help yourself, he will let you know.If you would like to discuss my experience with or my recommendation ofMr. McLeod further, I would be happy to. Please request my contactinformation from David and I will certainly find time to talk.-Erick Moore

This is an awesome Law Firm!! McLeod was very honest and straight forward. I was very pleased with the service and would recommend them to others.
Kashia G.
Brilliant! Professional demeanor. Charisma in the court room that can not be taught. Respectfully outspoken. Knowledgeable beyond books. Wonderful experience from start to finish.
Timothy D.
Very happy, they helped me out a lot. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended. I was able to get almost 50/50 custody of my daughter, which is a near impossible task for a father these days, but David helped out a lot and did a great job.
Max B.
I have known David for over 20 years. I worked for him as a Legal Assistant first then left to have my baby but continued to do his bookkeeping all these years. He also handled my divorce and child support case. He was great and helped me get the money I needed to take care of my children. He is an excellent litigator, honest, straightforward, and truly cares and goes the extra mile for his clients. I am now working as David’s Legal Assistant again for the past year and I have experienced first hand his commitment to his clients and the time and great effort he puts in to do the best possible job he can for them because he cares deeply and personally about the outcome of their cases. His success rate is excellent! I highly recommend him!!
Lisa S.
After interviewing multiple attorneys, I decided to go with him, and have been very pleased. He is kind, compassionate, caring and has been very effective in helping to finally resolve custody disputes with my daughter’s mother. David is a great guy, and his staff has been very kind and caring. highly recommended.

David McLeod is an exceptional attorney, professional and skilled. David knows family law and is pays attention to detail in all aspects of his duties. Great lawyer and professional!
Candace M. W.
In 2014 my family suffered a tragedy and shortly afterwards found ourselves in need of an attorney. From the first phone conversation attorney David McLeod put our hearts and minds at rest not by telling us what we wanted to hear, but by providing us with sound legal advice. As it turned out our relationship with David would last an entire year. In the end I can say that I never once second guessed my decision to go with David and that his experience, knowledge and sincere concern for our outcome got us to where we are today. And the outcome could not have been any better! Thank you, David!

Lacie L.
Amazing attorney! Was compassionate and understanding of my legal issues and fought tirelessly for over a year on my case. I was convinced that it was unwinnable, but David not only helped me win, but got me far more than I could have possibly hoped or dreamed could happen. Would happily recommend to anyone. Cannot possibly praise enough.
