Neil Taney O'Donnell's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Attorney Neil O'Donnell for approximately 25 years. I have been his opponent as well as his colleague on different cases. Neil brings an incredible depth of knowledge, experience, street smarts and creative passion to his cases. Anyone would be lucky to be represented by him, and he is a great guy to boot."
"Neil is an excellent personal injury and litigation attorney. To say he is well respected in the Luzerne County legal community is an understatement. I highly recommend Neil for personal injury and worker's compensation matters."
"Attorney Neil O'Donnell is a well prepared fighter for his clients! He is kind to clients, but tenacious with insurance companies and defense lawyers, so that his clients get every penny they deserve. I have seen firsthand the respect that other attorneys and Judges have for Neil and it makes a difference as they know he understands the law and the medicine and how those important factors impact your case. I would highly recommend Attorney O'Donnell."
