Dedicated, passionate and effective; Attorney Neil O'Donnell is an advocate for you.
Attorney Neil O'Donnell was assigned to me as the election-board solicitor in Luzerne County, PA in 2004. I'd worked with Atty. O'Donnell in my previous campaigns-and-elections experience, too. It was from 2004-2012, however, I came to know Atty. O'Donnell's work best. From day one, Atty. O'Donnell had my back. And, let me tell you, in the election business, one's back becomes a pretty big space to defend - Neil always had it covered. His understanding of the election laws of the Commonwealth, his passion for them and his courtroom skills never ceased to impress me. Moreover, he never wavered in his dedication to our cause, kept me well informed of our progress and always knew, very precisely, where our cases stood. Aggressive when appropriate, Atty. O'Donnell can - and will if necessary - take the fight to the courtroom and he definatley delivers results. Widely respected, Atty. O'Donnell is true professional who is rather candid, and yet, exceptionally modest. Whether you consider Attorney Neil O'Donnell for your election-law needs or your personal-injury claim, be assured, he will be there with you shoulder-to-shoulder, every step of the way, with one thing on his mind - adjudication in your favor. I not only want to recommend Neil and his work in this forum - I also wish to personally thank him for it.

Brilliant and Trustworthy!
Neil represented me in a drunk driving head on collision; I was the victim. He was always available to me, He is a noble Human Being and is very thorough. He maintains a five star staff. He has earned the respect of all we encountered including Lawyers, Judges, the Medical field and my entire family and friends. He is a master of what he does and clearly loves what he does. He is successful, kind, a great family man and the best at research and his presentations are stellar. Neil is very earnest and honest. I am also in awe of his practice of giving back to the community and faith in God. I will remain forever grateful that he put his touch on my life and case. You won't find anyone better.

Personal injury Attorney | Jun 14
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"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."
Personal injury Attorney | Feb 04
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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."
Personal injury Attorney | Jan 30
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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."
