Carole Jane Foley

My friend hired this firm to help with a delinquent commercial tenant taking advantage of covid to not pay rent and the lawyer didn't even know that that there about bill 23 . Instead we got stuck with the huge legal bill for absolutely nothing. Waste of $3500

Lawyer I dealt with was nice

Melissa Kirbyson

Jackie Halpern is an incredible lawyer. She provides extraordinary, professional legal advice. She helped me through two car accidents that have changed my life drastically. At the time and looking back on the situation, I don't know how I would've gotten through it all, without her on my side. Not just a compassionate lawyer, but an honest and faithful fighter on your team. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for legal advice, and a compassionate fighter on their team!

Kevan Austen

Working with Shane King on my termination and severance was easy. Shane explained everything, was very attentive and timely, and negotiated a fair settlement. I could't have done it without the team at McLeod Law!

Sara Stock

This is the team you want fighting for you!

Liam Sunstrum

Great company and awesome lawyers! Robert and Spencer are great for our small business. Will definitely recommend this company to others!

James Szojka

My team and I have been working with McLeod Law. Our lawyer is Robert Fooks and we are beyond impressed with the work he's done with us thus far. All questions are answered promptly without "adding" to the billable hours for simple but serious questions. When we're asking what something may cost Robert is able to straight up tell us an accurate answer rather than the typical 3-6 hours answer most people get from lawyers these days. Our company has been setting up our USA, trademarks, and employee contracts and we're looking forward to plenty more future business opportunities for the years to come. Thank you Robert and McLeod Law!

Darryl S

Less then impressed, hopefully will never deal with them again.

Leslie Brooks

Love Jackie Halpern. The reception staff are kind and conscientious. Was recommended to me by a friend and I have yet to be disappointed. Really looking forward to working with McLeod Law

Craig Skubleny

Great law firm always there when I need them, no matter what I've needed from them.

Jacqueline Drew

We worked with Charlotte Hall on a privacy policy. She gave us a reasonable quote, got the policy drafted up in a very timely manner, and was very flexible and accommodating in answering all our questions along the way! Thanks for the great work and service, Charlotte1

Atty. Austin Paladeau, as i used to call him. I was very satisfied with you and the firm as you handled my case. He was so nice since the first day I met him, always quick to respond to my emails, phone calls and gave me updates whenever I have concerns. He was available all the time.. Lesley Smith was very helpful, too. They did everything for my case. Thank you so much for all your expertise and for resolving the case quickly than i expected and I really dont know i could have settled my case without you. Its definitely been a good experience and I would recommend you and this firm to anyone with no doubts. MJ from Sundance SE

Almost always dealt with assistant rather then having a connection to open up and explain what had happened to me. Took 6yrs to get me $24,000 all in for almost losing/scared my life (lawyer got $14,000). Was transferred from lawyer to lawyer within firm which was unsettling. My lawyer Kimberley Bufton whom must've been an amateur said the establishment that I was suing pretty much bullied me/her and that we could not sue as much because their insurance was out of the country. I should have walked away when I sensed the 2nd lawyer I got set up with within the first year and I had seen 5 in the 6yrs so try explaining yourself and opening up again to a new lawyer. To this day I regret the headache, the lingering responses to my requests, doing follow ups and standing their ground and fought for my right to live and proper compensation rather then deter me from taking it to trial and pretty much bullying me into taking the deal and putting me in a great depression. I suggest you do some research and look around before making a decision to possibly waste years of your life...

Jonathan Hamon

Great lawyers and very helpful

Billie Martell

I was always treated like I was a priority and the genuine care and concern that I received from Austin Paladeau was more than I ever expected. This is a team of professionals that i would highly recommend!!

Mark Robertson

I went to McLeod Law on a referral from a friend. The case was related to a car accident that I was involved in, that I'd received injuries from. I met with Ms. Jackie Halpern initially with no pre-conceived notions of how it would turn out. I had up to this point in my life no experience dealing with lawyers or the legal system, nor the insurance system. My experience at McLeod Law was nothing but good. Jackie is extremely competent, thoughtful, and kind. Her assistant is fantastic, also. In fact, any of the people I met there, were great. If you need help in this area, make an appointment and go and talk to her. That's what I'd tell any family or friend of mine. Thanks again, Jackie.

Debbie Ironside

hard working people always in your best interests

Jane Peck-Hay

We had a real estate transaction with Robert Fooks as the Lawyer and Nicole Hanna as the para-legal. Both were very professional and engaging in providing the required services in a timely fashion.

Marcia Gutsfeld

Very clean and modern!

jc labillois

Recently, we had the privilege of meeting Beverly Mendoza to assist us with the development of our Will, Enduring Powers of Attorney and Personal Directives requests. We really appreciated Beverly’s assistance with these documents as she was extremely knowledgeable, competent, and able to answer any questions we had prior to us making our decisions. She was also able to complete our needs in a timely manner which we really appreciated. We want to thank her for her professionalism and superb customer service.

Agent Cox

I decided to use McLeod Law to add my name to the title of my home, from my understanding this is a fairly common request for real estate lawyers. I decided to use McLeod Law because we use them often at work, while we use many other law firms McLeod Law has always processed the majority of our real estate requests. During the process of adding my name to title on my Alberta home, I received inaccurate information that I requested regarding hardcopy signatures to McLeod Law rather than scans/faxes. The inaccurate information cost me astronomical Fex Ex fees that could have been avoided given the proper information requested. None the less I thought “it is, what it is” and paid the Fed-Ex fees. I received my title and invoice on dated for January 7th, 2020. With COVID-19 many of us have been preoccupied with our current employment status, being laid off and figuring out how to get by. I received an email a couple days ago (end of April 2020) remind me of my $663 invoice, no problem, I called the following business day and when I had trouble getting in touch with someone I sent a follow up email asking for someone to call me to clear up my invoice. Rather than a call, I received a follow up email and nasty emails two days later from Laurie Kiedrowski (a Partner of McLeod Law,) when Laurie and I connect on the phone she was extremely rude advising me McLeod Law had been phoning for “months”, when the first follow up correspondence I received was a couple days ago via email, as well Laurie had the audacity to mention the title transfer was done “in good faith” and “without a retainer”, at no point did I request any special treatment, as well I was never asked to pay a retainer. This is unacceptable to speak to clients in this manner. $663 is not going to make or break a law firm. With the current events maybe McLeod Law should ensure clients are able to pay invoices that were received prior to the current pandemic and perhaps ask if payment arrangements need to be made. Although I have no concerns to pay my invoice, many individuals are struggling at this time. Lastly, McLeod Law may want to recognize it will be a post COVID-19 world and treating clients with respect will go a long way. Especially when Calgary has plenty of law firms to choose from, many of these law firms practice core values and respect. Shame on you Laurie! Any corporate requests as well as personal legal matters will be handled by a professional law firm moving forward. I have noticed McLeod Law typically responds to bad reviews by noting they do not recognize the name from the bad review... save it, no one is buying it, put your efforts into better customer service.

Candice Phelps

I have used Christine Pasemko for 2 real estate transactions and I was extremely pleased with her level of knowledge and the excellent service she provided. As a first time home buyer, she walked me through every detail of the transaction which was much appreciated. On the second purchase, we were on a tight timeline and she went out of her way to accommodate our schedule. We have also used a couple of other lawyers in the firm on Christine's recommendation and were very happy with them as well. Thanks again Christine!

Shane Ball

I've been working with Ross Kaplan for the last couple years on a personal injury matter and I can tell you from my experience so far that Mr. Kaplan is the consummate professional and expert in this matter. I give Mr. Kaplan my highest recommendation with confidence.

Scott Seguin

I have worked with Robert Fooks and McLeod Law for over 2 decades. I continue to stay as a loyal client as they consistently over deliver on my corporate services time and time again.

Jessica Riad

Working with Shane King and Kim Colvin was an absolute pleasure. Their expertise, kindness, professional support and exceptional service made a challenging time much easier and I was extremely pleased with the results. I would highly recommend working with this team!

Erica Hodgson

Excellent experience with this law firm post car accident. Would recommend if you are thinking you may need a lawyer, speak to them!

Tyler Faba

Great company. Whenever I needed help, they’ve always took time to help me. The people who work here actually care!

Ty Chen

We used Mcleod Law LLP service for buying our new home and selling our prior house. Daniel G. MacAulay is our lawyer who is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly appreciated all he has done for us and would recommend him for anyone who need real estate transaction service.

Dave Wittal

Excellent experience working with Peter Graburn at McLeod Law. Peter is extremely knowledgeable, competent and reliable.

Carol

I highly recommend McLeod Law. Jackie Halpern and Cynthia Heinbuch represented me in a car accident case and they were definitely a ‘Dream Team’. I found them to be honest, knowledgeable, resourceful and diligent. They gave timely and detailed responses to all my enquiries and guided me every step of the way. On a personal level, I appreciated their compassion and understanding in the midst of challenging medical circumstances. I was very fortunate to have such a kind and skilled team working on my behalf.

Nathan Geib

I have worked with several lawyers here over the years. Aaron Bickman, Rick Breen, Neil Hutton, Roy Klassen, Linda Lynch-Staunton, Shelly Waite, and list goes on (sorry if I forgot anyone). They take care of the Corporate and Estate Law for my company as well as our numerous accounting / audit clients. They are always on our list of referred lawyers. The prices are fair, the work is timely and quality of the work is always reliable. It is nice to have a full service law firm available outside of the downtown.

Teresa Schmaus-Poland

I was referred to this firm in the spring of 2016, and suppose to have a court date in June 2017 to help finalize items from debates; but lawyer went against my wishes with apposing lawyer, and when I sent email stating how unhappy I was with the service was dropped. So all monies I paid, right back to square one; NOT FAIR. feeling WRONGED BIG TIME!! Then was told I was angry with the wrong FIRM... I am thinking NOT !!!

Ariel Pevzner

I reached out to Chad Johnson to see if he could do a prenup for me. His price was very reasonable compared to some other firms. He was willing to go through everything with me on the phone and by email. He was quick to draft the document up and made changes if I thought some sentences weren’t clear enough. Chad was thorough in person when reviewing and signing everything. He made the process very easy and I’d recommend him to anyone.

Arshad Mahmood

Hello Owner, First of all my name is on file with Alberta ID giving personally to Asher MacDonald on December 06,2018. Me & my family attended meeting with Asher MacDonald and I handed over my personal cheque (ARSHAD MAHMOOD) of $10 k as retainer for Family and Civil matter for myself and my daughter who is dependent on me. I don't want to open the whole box on Google review but your response compel me to do so. Asher MacDonald first promised to help in both cases but later he refused to act on Civil matter for no contact orders, however he demanded to replace cheque with $5,000 retainer but after discussion with me he agreed on $3,000 retainer deposit. I gave him my personal (ARSHAD MAHMOOD) Cheque #675 of TD Canada trust dated December 18,2018 which was cashed on the same day Dec 18,2018 into Macleod Law LLP trust account. If you need the copy of cheque I can post on Google Review. Later in one month received overcharged invoice of $5,600 with two different hourly rates and he withdraw as a counsel without helping us. If you still think that my name is not in your system then accountability Audit must be conducted by Law Society of Alberta. I hope this is enough evidence to prove my name on the file as I'm acting on my daughter file # 134853 and she gave officially consent to Asher MacDonald. If you really want she can post another review with her own name and then all public will be aware about these review. Now the case is with Review and Assessment Commission on this file for the accountability. Please don't try to prove wrong to us as we are affected by this Lawyer and MacLeod Firm and publicly giving message don't trust on Asher MacDonald Lawyer with MacLeod Law firm. If you need more clarification on my name please post your comments. i'll be more happy to respond you quickly. Cheers!! First Posting comments below; We had really bad experience with this Law firm dealing with Lawyer Asher Macdonald in Family matter and in less than one month of period time overcharged us and sent bill over $5.5 K charging two different hourly rates and left as a Counsel very unprofessional way. No ethic and very rude with the client. We don't recommend this Lawyer because they are only working for money not taking care of clients. Please think before retaining and see the Google reviews first. Don't waste your money.

Saeed Hasan

Poor service. They collected extra money at the time of signing documents for house closing and now not adjusting the difference. Even though it's a small amount but they are not answering email or calls. Really poor customer service.

mitch vevang

I used this Firm, for claim years ago, it was overseen by Simon Muller, and the file was worked on by several people, lawyers, assistants. I knew at the time I was getting great service, but it almost spoiled me. Having other firms to compare now, in different areas of law albeit; it made me realize how good these guys really were. They were going above and beyond, and were personally invested in your files, that as I have learned is not the norm unfortunately. I also have had them help with real estate deals and always it went smoothly. Highly recommend.

Will Fast

I was referred to McLeod Law by another satisfied client and I could not be more pleased with the result. Jackie Halpern was recommended very highly and I am happy I listened, I felt Jackie was in my corner since I walked out of our first meeting. I was most impressed by the level of genuine concern she had for my medical recovery throughout the process. Jackie and Cynthia promptly answered any questions I had and were able to expedite diagnostic tests. Obviously Jackie could not make the injury disappear or turn back time but she did everything in her power to ensure my recovery was as quick as possible and I was made as whole as possible. WIll

Megan Starke

I had the pleasure of working with Austin Paladeau. Not only was he very personable but he was able to get the best case scenario out of our file with excellent negotiation. I would highly recommend Austin and McLeod Law.

Lyissaful

Highly recommend this legal office, they are great.
