Highly recommend: strong, ethical and delivers results

Don represented me in a difficult discrimination matter. He clarified the process and strategically approached a challenging appeal hearing. Ultimately, he won my case and delivered positive results and peace of mind for me. His service and follow through are outstanding. I am grateful for his pr...ofessional expertise along with the fact that he is truly a stand up guy.

Don is the best!

I hired Don McNeil in 2011 for help with defending me against a non-compete case. And soon after that, my business partner and I used him to help with our partnership documents. When I first met Don, we formed an immediate repore which has lead to a long-term client/attorney relationship that I still... depend on to this day. Don is a strong advocate for me and my business. In fact, because of my belief in Dons abilities, I will continue to engage him long-term for my business needs as well as refer my friends, family and clients to him. He is well educated, extremely intelligent, very experienced - and has a great sense of humor to boot! Honestly, I think the world of Don and still tell people that I'm grateful for the unfortunate situation I was in back in 2011 because it introduced me to Don McNeil who I am extremely grateful to call my attorney and my friend.

Best Attorney EVER!

I hired Don McNeil to assist my business partner and I on a very sensitive matter involving a lawsuit threatened against us individually and against our company. Don immediately jumped into our case reassuring and educating us on the legal process related to the frivolous allegations made against us.... He let us know what we could expect in a situation like ours. Defending against a lawsuit is every business owner's worst nightmare. With Don's exceptional representation, we came out of a very difficult situation completely whole and unscathed. I would highly, strongly recommend Don to any business owner facing a potential lawsuit. He is caring, compassionate and extremely service-oriented. But beyond that he is an excellent legal strategist. He defines what it means to advocate for a client. I have worked with many lawyers and Don is definitely a cut above the rest!

Mediation lawyer | Nov 22

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. We used Don to mediate an investment loss matter v. a FINRA member BD and an associated person. Don effectiveness in helping us resolve the matter stems from his expertise in understanding the subject matter which commands immediate respect from attorneys and clients. That credibility inexorably brought the sides together, accompanied by his personal touch which clients can't help but feel that he truly cares about them and achieving a resolution they can live with. That "caring" is absent in many mediators. I will definitely use Don again and recommend him to others. Great job Don!"
