When you need a specialist

The medical profession is typically divided between the general practitioner and the specialist. The legal profession is similar between the general attorney and the specialist attorney. I had an employment issue so I went to an employment specialist attorney - Neil. First, he was very good in dis...cussing the situation and explaining the issues to me. Second, he consulted his 3 partners on a few things. The "team" approach is very big in a number of professional services, including health, and, in my case, 4 heads were better than 1. Third, although he was the attorney "in charge" I never felt I was standing on the sidelines. Neil kept me very well informed and respected my opinions and decisions. Many times when we're looking for specialists in any field, we turn to online reviews. I'm throwing in my hat for Neil. When you want the best specialist in employment law go with him.

"Professional & Solid"

I contacted Mr. Klingshern seeking insight regarding a legal matter which I may pursue. Without hesitation he promptly replied, conversed, & offered concise, & logical suggestions that I believe will be of great benefit if I decide to go forward with this issue. In my opinion Mr. Klingshern is defini...tely the go to legal attorney!! Phillip

Amazingly Awesome

I am writing this review on the 4 year anniversary of Neil successfully negotiating a favorable outcome to non-compete fight that 11 other lawyers told me was un-winnable. The other 11 lawyers told me my only option was to violate the non-compete and fight it in court. I felt the other 11 lawyers j...ust wanted a long drawn out battle so they could create their own revenue stream. Neil's approach was fast, effective and worth every last cent of what he billed. He negotiated and won everything I wanted. On this day, the company I started has supported my family for 4 years, and Neil Klingshirn played a huge role in it's success.

Excellent lawyer, extremely knowledgeable and highly recommended!

I found Neil by doing a Google search and certainly did not expect to find such great lawyer right away. He represented me in a case that involved a previous employer. I was pleasantly surprised by Neil's knowledge and his ability to answer ALL of my questions and concerns immediately after I contact...ed him. I did not hesitate to contact him - he always made himself available and I could not have asked for better communication. Not only did we get fabulous results, but he was compassionate, responsive and fun during our entire case. Highly recommended!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
