McNeal Legal helped me with my divorce and get majority custody of my children. She’s a tough lawyer who has your back. She goes above and beyond to get the best outcome.
In short. Kelly is no Labradoodle. She is pure Pit-bull. I have never hired an Attorney before and only heard what a waste of time they are especially in family cases. In my case that was NOT THE CASE. I am very thankful for Kelly and her staff for getting me the outcome that we got. Thank you Kelly.
Kelly is an amazing lawyer. She is smart, confident and knows the legal system well. She took the time to learn and understand my case thoroughly but did not overcharge me; I never felt like she was trying to just get money out of me. She was awesome in both a required hearing and mediation and I felt so comfortable walking through this process with her (and her amazing assistant!) by my side. If I need a family lawyer again, I will absolutely hire her.

She did the research on my case and uncovered a frivolous lawsuit. Her findings and arguments led to the dismissal of the lawsuit against me. I am grateful for her professionalism and transparency. McNeal Legal, thank you again for taking my case.

Kelly guided me through my divorce although not messy, but long. I knew from her track record, I was going to come out ok. I had previously used her services to have my grandson adopted by his then step-father. Again, extremely easy. I have and will continue to recommend her to others in need.
Owner response
Thank you for the kind review! We were happy to help you, and enjoyed working with you through this process.

After 10+ years of being mixed up in a contentious custody battle, working with Kelly was a departure from everything I had experienced to that point. She listened to and considered my concerns, and never attempted to have me accept concessions I was not comfortable with when dealing with opposing counsel. Kelly understood the stakes and advocated for me in a way that I did not have with previous representation. She was always professional and responsive when handling my calls or emails. Kelly McNeal is the type of person you need to have in your corner.

Thank you for such a wonderful review. We are always thankful to receive such positive feedback!

Kelly and her team are like a lighthouse in a storm. Divorce is a trying and scary event to navigate, and Kelly is a calming force. She is quietly powerful and has the experience and background to guide you through this difficult time. I am so thankful to have worked with Kelly. Many times she was the grounding force that I needed. I completely trust her and her team.

Kelly is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. She has helped me several times in custody issues. She’s responsive, kind and personable when you speak to her but a true fighter for her clients. If you need legal help she is worth every red cent.

Kelly and her team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in my family law contempt case. She got matters settled quickly and fairly. Anyone who has had to deal with family law/co-parenting knows that that kind of timely outcome is rare, especially during Covid restrictions! I appreciate her compassion as well as her professionalism, I have and will continue to recommend her to friends as needed. She's worth every penny.

I highly advise against consulting with this firm if you are in need of any type of representation regarding family law as she is turning away cases and “cherry picking” cases based on her own preference and not based a potential client’s needs. In addition, I am an associate of Jana H who also left a review and I can attest to the fact that she followed all instructions, and was told she now had representation when in reality, her calls were ignored and only returned by office staff. Meanwhile she was berated by her soon to be ex husbands lawyer and continually made attempts to speak directly with Ms McNeal who pretty much left her on “read”. It’s heartbreaking to watch people in need, be strung along while they wait for assistance and are left out to dry by a professional who took money, and gave verbal confirmation that she had accepted the case. I am appalled at the response left by McNeal, who shows no remorse or compassion for a potential client and even goes so far as to insinuate any of this was to the fault of the potential client.
Owner response
YOU have never personally used our services. Further, part of the advice we give to all clients is to not disclose discussions between lawyer and client to any 3rd parties. Clearly, by your post, your friend failed to follow that advice, potentially waiving attorney/client privilege. Your "review" then opens up the potential of her spouse getting said information. So, probably not the wisest choice to leave such a review.<br>Further, yes, as a private business, we can and do select which clients we want based on the facts of the case, and which ones we don't. Clearly, we made the right decision in your friend's case.
