Divorce

Mr. Neville and his secretary/wife are awesome! I went through my divorce with a different Howell attorney (what a mistake) and gave my ex-wife pretty much everything because the first attorney said "this is the way it works" (not knowing any better because it was my first and last divorce). My ex to...ok me back to court for more money, so I retained Mr. Neville. I am actually paying less now and getting to see my kids more thanks to Don! Don't make the same mistake I did, hire Don first he is very knowledgeable and fair with his fees.

Couldn't have asked for better....

Can't say enough about Mr. Neville and Family. He not only helped me with a couple criminal cases, he won me custody of my son in just a short time (mind u, I've been tryin solo for yrs).....During this time, other issues came up and I needed Mr. Neville with very short notice and he did not hesitate... to represent me. He's honest, straight forward, compassionate, affordable and aggressive. (gets it done!) Thank you so much Mr. Neville for all your help, the impact u have made in my families life is tremendous........I just can't thank u enough.

Immeasurably Grateful To Don Neville

Don and his wife Sarah have helped my family in many ways. He helped one of my children with a M.I.P. charge and for that ,we are all eternally grateful. He has helped a dear friend of mine. He was my divorce attorney and would no doubt have served me well , had my husband not been tragically killed ...at the onset of our divorce. Don and his wife Sarah were there for the children and I from day one to help us through a most difficult time in all of our lives. He helped me with anything I needed and my needs were plentiful . He did my will for me which as a mother of fatherless children, brought me great comfort during our time of grief . He has looked over many legal documents for me and has explained them all to me with the utmost of patience and clarity as he knows exactly how to word things so I will understand them. He is currently helping me with other legal matters . He is very fair with what he charges and he is well worth every penny. Don and Sarah go above and beyond to make me feel safe and secure and that is a wonderful thing.

The Man who does What He says he will do!

Mr. Don Neville was referred to me from a friend, and i was unsure at first as to what to do. so i listened to my friend and hired Mr. Neville, after Don listened to my story, he told me what he could do and when it came time for court, the results where amazing, they where exactly what he said ...he could do, of course not all parties involved where happy, but at the end of the day i was. Don Neville is an amazing man and radiates confidence, i would refer him to anyone seeking legal advise, he is an amazing man! i couldnt thank him enough!!!
