Joseph Edward Nealon

I hired Joe to review my divorce paperwork, he was very unresponsive to emails. He did not provide any new information to me, and after I asked him to not perform anymore work for me he attempted to contact the other attorney in the case and tried to charge me for it! He also took about 4 weeks to ...get me my retainer blanace back, after several emails.

My wife and I originally met Joe after talking to a few lawyers. They all charged us a consultation fee. Joe did not. He said he wanted to know if he could help us before he asked us for a dime. Joe, unlike the otheres, thought there was an easier way than sueing. He gave us some guidance, didn...t charge us and we actually resovled it on our own as he said we could. When the need for a lwyer came again we called Joe. this time he assisted us in a dispute over a child custody issue. He met with us and told us exactly what he was going to do. He was able to negotiate the issue withthe other attorney, avoid expensive court time and both we and my es wife feel like we ended up better off. We were glad the attroneys worked together even when we couldnt. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone for any legal issue.

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.
