I don't know where I'd be without the Professional Assistance of Attorney Joseph Nealon!

Previously I had what I would describe as an average experience with my past divorce attorney; unfortunately my financial interests were not protected. When petitioned to court for additional, unreasonable financial support I searced for an individual who was not only going to represent me but als...o PROTECT me. I needed someone who would be straight forward and not waste my time or money. Attorney Nealon actively listened. He kept me clear on the realities of what he could do; In other words, If I went off on an emotional tangent, he would bring the focus right back to the legal issue at hand. Gentle redirection- never arogant or intimidating. He intervened on my behalf in ways I had not experienced from my previous attorney, always reaasuring me. He got the unreasonable request for additional financial support dropped. I did not even have to attend court. Currently Attorney Nealon is assisting me in Child Custody issues as well as the sale of the former marital home. Attorney Nealon has responded to every e-mail and every phone call as well as every request I have made. Attorney Nealon managed to get very abusive, uneccesarry communication from my ex-husband to stop. This alone is PRICELESS!!! I am MORE than confident in his recommendations and in his achieveing the goals at hand! I can honestly say I sleep better at night knowing Attorney Nealon is overseeing my interests.

NEVER HIRE HIM

I hired him in 06 for my divorce he never got back to me when I called. He promised me that I would make out, then he coward out when my EX wife hired "a really expenses lawyer look at it this way you did not pay much for me" really you get what you pay for. He does not know what he is doing event th...e court did not event know who he was. He is a joke.....event when he sent me a separation agreement.

wouldn't recommend. no follow-through

We hired Joe for to complete our P&S and do our house purchase closing in Dec. 07. Because the seller did not complete items on the P&S, the attorney withheld funds (in escarow) until the repairs were complete. At Joe's suggestion, we withheld significantly less than our realtor urged. It is Mar...ch 2009. Joe never followed up with the seller at any point. I made several contacts and attempted contacts myself with the seller to no avail. I have been trying to contact Joe Nealon almost weekly for the past 9 months. He is neither responsive or reliable. He does not answer my calls and has followed through on none of his responisibility with regard to our P&S and the funds being withheld. Having the seller to deal with was hard enough- having a completely unresponsive attorney is even worse.
