Very professional

Rebecca handled my case in a very professional manner. My customer refused to pay for services performed but she was able to obtain payment without going to court. Thank you, Rebecca.

Review Rebecca mcnerney

I hired Rebecca for guardianship and conservatorship over my 91 year old father. It was the worst experience ever. My father was diagnosed with stage 5 Alzheimer's disease . We had my father's neurologist signed an affidavit stating that my father was incompetent. He could not live alone or make ...any legal decisions or sign any legal documents . My father's 2 wife's son took my father to a lawyer to change POA of medical and finances to him ,after he had Alzheimer's. Rebecca promised us a court date in 2 weeks we got one 4 months later. She had no decent communication at all . Ask me to send her the same thing over and over again. She could not keep track of anything . She took me for 65,000 dollars,and I received nothing. I would research her closely before you think about hiring her. She is not any good .

Because lawyers have a professional and ethical obligation to maintain client confidences, even when false statements are made about a lawyer, lawyers are not permitted to respond substantively. What I am permitted to say is that this review does not accurately present a fair and accurate picture of the events. My practice is mostly devoted to litigation, which necessarily involves stress and intense emotions. Clients generally come to me facing one of the worst times of their lives while simultaneously overwhelmed by a confusing and complex judicial system. It is my privilege to help clients navigate the judicial system, cope with their emotions, and manage their legal expectations. Outcomes can never be guaranteed, and the one promise I ever make is that I will diligently and zealously advocate for my clients’ best interests. My 18 years of experience practicing law, in multiple jurisdictions, at multiple levels, has resulted in a successful law firm focused on zealous advocacy, the highest degree of integrity, genuine empathy for my clients’ circumstances, and an extensive knowledge of the law within my practice areas. Clients and former clients are permitted to release lawyers from their confidentiality obligations, and if this were done, I would be happy to respond more specifically and fully.

Excellent Attorney!

We have been clients of Rebecca for the past 18 months and she has proven to be an exceptional attorney who consistently demonstrates high levels of legal expertise and a sincere dedication to her clients. She is very organized and is always prepared for hearings, ensuring every detail of our case is... meticulously handled. We've had several attorneys over the years, and Rebecca's responsiveness and the level in which she prepares for hearings is unparalleled. She always answered our communications promptly, and her support staff is equally impressive. Her fees are very fair and were clearly tied to specific tasks and efforts made on our behalf. We are grateful to have found Rebecca and recommend her to anyone who needs legal representation.

McNerney Law is McExcelent

We chose Rebecca McNerney on the advice of a retired attorney that we trust. We were smart to trust the advice! Rebecca handled some estate planning for us and we could not be more impressed and satisfied. She listens with kindness and patience and never once made us feel rushed. Her explanations ...of the North Carolina laws were explicit and detailed. We have no doubt that we are covered from every angle and tied up with a bow. We cannot repay her kindness and attention to detail. Our children will enjoy the fruits of her labor when we pass on and that is very comforting to us. We recommend her to anyone who needs legal counseling. Tommy and Ruth
