Professionalism!
Ms. McNeal handled our relatively simple case with a level of professionalism commensurate with far more challenging cases. She kept us informed, advised us and respected our position. She provided draft copies of all correspondence for our review, incorporated suggested changes and answered all qu...

Highly Recommended - Honest, Dependable, Excellent Experience(s) (and yes, I still retain her services!)
Kelly McNeal is a true professional who provides excellent representation.

Kelly Mcneal I retained did not respond to several emailed questions, was a person of few words with no constructive advice on pressing matters, appeared to empathize more with the other side's point of view and, to top it off, quickly burned thru my "refundable" retainer (with no ground gained and n...
I came into this client's case in the middle of the proceedings. I reviewed all pleadings, helped him file a Financial Affidavit, gathered his discovery, attended mediation, had numerous correspondence with the client, and drafted an extensive motion. The client did not like my advice, because it followed the law and not what he wanted to happen. I also had to withdraw after contacting the Florida Bar Ethics department regarding this client's behavior. His total charge was $1,450.00 for an extensive amount of work.

Professional, honest and extremely knowledgable
I went to Kelly with absolutely no knowledge of what could legally be done to help my situation. She was patient with me, honest and extremely professional the entire time. What should have been a simple thing ended up turning into a long ordeal due to defendant's the evasion of service and continued...
