Many divorce settlement options under one roof

Macleod points out that he offers a variety of settlement options for divorcing clients, including mediation and Collaborative Divorce. "My style is one of negotiating first, litigating if necessary," he says. "This operative style is settlement-oriented and resolution-based, with a strategy designed to reduce conflict and let both divorcing parties be masters of their own destiny.

"You can't control the litigation process," he adds. "It's full of rules and timelines that are strictly regulated. But when you choose an alternative method, you decide how things proceed and have more control. It's more cost-effective, and better for the children, for spouses to exit on good terms."

Client-oriented with a team approach

Macleod works with a client-centered approach that focuses on your needs. "I'm always open and available," says Macleod. "At the same time, I've found that structure works best. My office is the right size: big enough to do an efficient job, but not so big that the client gets lost within the environment."

"I'm about resolution, as opposed to reaction. Instead of reacting to the client's anger, I look at the big picture and find a solution that's in the best interests of everyone. Of equal importance are the clients' finances: they're going through strong changes in financial circumstances, and the divorce shouldn't add another burden. I offer payment options based on the client's means."

Top reputation in the community

With his extensive trial experience with the Office of the Children's Lawyer and his pioneering work in mediation and collaborative law, Macleod is an established leader in the family-law community. His mission? "To make divorce more manageable for people, giving them control over the circumstances, so their families can move forward in a restructured form."

"We have changed the way people divorce," Macleod says. "By making it the clients' process, we can improve communication and enhance good decision making." That would completely replace the hope and happy line.
