Litigation is an unfortunate reality. Let me help you through a difficult family or business matter.
McNeal Legal, LLC is committed to providing legal services to businesses and individuals in a professional, timely and cost efficient manner.
We work with you, not against you, to determine how best to proceed with your case, and to best advise you of possible outcomes given the current law. Providing quality legal services isn’t just something we say, it is something we do.
While taking your case to trial is sometimes the only way to obtain the desired result, often skilled negotiation and facilitated dialogue can mediate disputes between the parties, saving you both time and money. Whether a case proceeds to trial or concludes with a negotiated agreement, we are dedicated to listening to clients, understanding their unique situation and goals and working intelligently and relentlessly to achieve those outcomes.
