If you’re considering hiring this lawyer, I strongly urge you to do thorough research before proceeding. Take a look at reviews on various platforms, including Lawyerratingz, as it seems reviews under different emails keep appearing on Google.
Based on my experience, I would recommend recording all interactions for your records (using your iPhone or another device), as it was crucial in my case. Victoria has many reputable lawyers, so it’s worth exploring other options.
In my case, I observed actions that raised serious concerns. At one point, this lawyer provided information to a judge that was knowingly inaccurate and later claimed I owed fees for "protection." Her representation left me deeply dissatisfied, and I have chosen to document and share my experience to inform others.
It’s worth noting that I’ve since been threatened with defamation for sharing my experience. However, as far as I understand, truth is not defamatory. I’ll continue to update on the legal proceedings, including the taxation process and the associated bills, for public knowledge. I also plan to share transcripts that demonstrate instances where this lawyer knowingly misled a judge.
Excessive Legal Fees
We recently conducted a review of hidden billable time from Brooke and found that the opposing law firm charged $2,000 for my house closing and Brooke claimed she also had to bill as she was not part of the house closing.
In my opinion, any legal fees exceeding $2,000 should undergo a full licensing review. In any other industry, such a discrepancy would likely be considered fraudulent.
This case has been subject to nearly five years of delays, as Brooke MacLoed continues to avoid proceeding to a hearing. She is now working with her third lawyer, who has knowingly made false statements the court and knowingly attempted to introduce improper procedures to gain an advantage-conduct that is unbecoming of a legal professional. It is evident that his actions are directed by Brooke MacLeod herself. In her most recent affidavit, Ms. MacLoed swore that she never claimed to be an expert in family law, despite having practised for 23 years. This raises serious concerns, as clients paying premium rates would reasonably expect competence rather than years of repeated errors so she can learn in her practise. her lawyer has repeatedly threatened to file a defamation lawsuit. When I offered to personally collect the lawsuit, he failed to follow through, suggesting these threats are baseless. Go to Victoria Courthouse and search out MacLeod's taxation for over billing before hiring.
In my opinion, it’s crucial to exercise caution and explore alternative legal counsel to avoid similar issues.
Go to the courthouse registry and search out the taxation of overbilling by Brooke Amcloed and you will see why it is a risk to hire her for any legal work.
There are so many excellent lawyers in the Victoria Bar, do your research.
Look at her reviews—either a five for friendly friends or a 0. How could anyone be that polarized? Further, when she gets a bad review, it appears she gets professional review writers (mostly food critics) who write her a glowing review. The taxation at the courthouse is public knowledge, and it tells all.
