G Kennedy McLeod Jr

I have known Kennedy McLeod for over 30 years, throughout the length of his practice in Atlanta, Georgia. As a retired attorney with over 40 years experience as a litigator in Atlanta, Georgia in the areas of corporate law, securities, and investment-related disputes, I am very familiar with his reputation as an attorney and as a person. I have had the opportunity to observe first hand both his legal skills and interpersonal skills. I have referred numerous cases to Kennedy, including my own family members. In my experience as an arbitrator for the National Association of Securities Dealers (the "NASD"), the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the American Stock Exchange, the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), and FINRA, I have participated in hundreds of arbitrations. I know Kennedy to have the legal and interpersonal knowledge and skills to effectively and successfully conduct arbitration proceedings and to guide the parties through continuous mediation proceedings so as to reach a successful conclusion and agreement. Kennedy's character is impeccable and there is nothing I would not trust him with
