Neil S Tassel

The first thing he did for me was call me back right away. I had a case that had multiple elements to it. There was not a lot of time to prepare. He developed a plan and focused on the elements that needed the most attention. He not only started working on the case right away, he had some result...s by the end of the day. Documents were prepared, signed by the other party, and delivered to the court within a days time. Looking back, I can not imagine how any lawyer could have been more effective and efficient than he was. I felt he understood all my concerns and his knowledge and plan eased the struggle I was dealing with. Thank you Neil.

I hired Neil to assist me with the extension of a 10-day temporary, to a 1 year restraining order. He immediately put me at ease while consulting with me on the details of my case. He took the time on many different occasions to answer my questions, both over the phone and in person, and was incredi...bly supportive and concerned with my state of mind during this trying process. Neil is a former prosecutor, so I also felt reassured that the defendant’s case had been thoroughly considered and anticipated in preparation of our court date, and that there would be no surprises there. In the end, Neil helped me win my case, with the judge ruling in favor of extending the restraining order. I wouldn’t consider using another attorney at this point, and trust Neil implicitly with my legal needs. I would recommend him to anyone who needs counsel.

I found this lawyer on the Comm2a website, after trying to find attorneys to assist me in getting my restrictions removed. Most ignored my emails, or just told me it was impossible given my town. I reached out to Neil over email and we had a short phone conversation about my situation and eventually ...met with my paperwork. He was friendly and we talked shop a bit before getting down to business which I appreciate. A few weeks later, I got an email telling me we were successful, I was beyond elated. I appreciate his services and he helped me achieve a goal, most people told me was next to impossible and for that I am extremely grateful.

I was charged with Indecent Assault and Battery and Neil handled my case for over a year after taking it over from another attorney. The case has now been resolved successfully in the best possible way it could have given what Neil had to work with. Neil was extremely professional, he was alway...s easy to reach and he took the time to explore many details of the case and spend a lot of time on it. On several occasions he went above and beyond what was needed. For example, I told him about an effect a conviction might have on a trade license I have and Neil proactively looked up specifics of our disposition & showed me how I could keep my job. Neil has a ton of knowledge and was always willing to answer my questions in painstaking detail. I took a very active role in my defense and asked Neil about many possibilities for defense, even far fetched ones. He took the time to objectively and fairly explain all options. When I switched from the previous lawyer I did a lot of research and spoke to other lawyers. Neil was the clear best choice for my defense and I'm glad I chose him as my counsel. Neil not only defended me and got the outcome I specifically told him I could live with, he got an even more favorable outcome than we had hoped... knowing what I learned about this type of charge it went as well as it could have possibly realistically. The previous lawyer made several errors and Neil was able to mitigate this damage. Had I only worked with Neil from day one I would probably have an even better outcome. Neil worked miracles in my case and I believe he genuinely cares about defendants. I also believe he would not ever be judgmental to any defendant and would give them the most rigorous defense he could. I also believe Neil is extremely ethical - I suggested one course of action once during the case which was legal but because it had even a slight ethical question Neil said he wouldn't participate. He was very fair about billing and fees and I can tell that he will do the right thing. I don't think Neil would ever bend the rules for anyone but he will fight very hard and exhaust all legal means in existence for your defense without judgement. He will support exactly what you tell him. If I had it to do over again I would have trusted him more, asked less questions and given him even more information. Neil also is at the perfect place in his career where he has a long time of really significant experience but is still young and energetic. I can't recommend Neil highly enough. If you are facing a serious criminal matter I don't think there is a better choice.
