Kathleen Neary

After a car accident left me with a permanent injury, Kathleen Neary was recommended to me as a good attorney to have on my side. What an understatement! She was relentless in gathering evidence and putting together information to prove my case. She was an absolute warrior, fighting for me all the... way. I am so glad I took the recommendation and hired Kathleen to help me through this difficult time!

Kathleen was my attorney in bringing forth an equal opportunity suit and no one was more suited to represent me than she. Kathleen made me feel that my concerns were valid and she was absolutely wonderful in negotiating my settlement. Throughout the process, I felt so cared for and protected by her. ...Kathleen's ethic is to engage all parties in a professional manner, using common sense and human decency as her guide. I was blessed to "have her in my corner"!

Kathleen represented my wife and I on an employment matter. Despite how personal the issues were to us, Kathleen was able to give us both a sense of validation while allowing us to see through the emotion and help us make objective decisions. We would have never been able to be objective without he...r sound advice, and that allowed us to come to an efficient and fair resolution. More importantly, her approach allowed us to move on without remaining bitter about an otherwise ugly situation. In the end, we received validation, closure and the objective advice needed to keep us from turning an opportunity at a quick and fair resolution into an emotional battle that wouldn't have been worth the effort. We now look forward instead of back, and without the emotional stress that was truly the worst part of everything. She is a consummate professional and I highly recommend her.

Kathleen Neary is a top notch lawyer. Twice she represented me in discrimination and retaliation cases. She was always there for me. I was very lucky to have her. My positive results would not have happened with out her. If you want a lawyer who will work hard, not disapoint you, you want Kathle...en Neary. Thanks again Kathleen.

I hired Kathleen to sue an insurance co. that refused to pay for my medical care. Kathleen told me to "go home and heal, forget about the accident, just concentrate on getting better". I specifically asked (after scouring the internet for advice) if I should or needed to keep a "journal" along the wa...y (which in the end I think would have been Very Emotionally Healing). Instead I followed her advice which was "no". So I didn't. Two years later, after I had been financially crippled with huge multiple monthly medical payments, she called to say it was time for a disposition. I called that family member (as instructed by Kathleen) and asked if she gave a statement recently, and she had that day. I conveyed everything Kathleen told me (nearly verbatim) and she - at work as well - burst into tears with me on the phone. She was so upset she had to leave work for the rest of the day because of our phone conversation (which Kathleen told me to have with her right before hanging up on me). Yes you read that right - before hanging up on me. To say this woman has zero professionalism is an understatement. When I had collected myself, I called Vince Powers directly. It was a short conversation. I told him who I was, that Kathleen was representing me in my claim and the disgusting verbal abuse I had just endured on the phone from her. He said "well when you hire a lawyer they work for you, not the other way around", "I'll look into this" and hung up. He had not put my mind to rest, so I immediately opened the phone book and called another attorney to find out what it was going to take to fire Kathleen and hire a new lawyer. This is when I found out Kathleen could step down from the case upon my request, but still ask to be paid for "services rendered". Not five minutes after speaking with Mr. Powers, Kathleen called back. (I was on the phone with the other lawyer.) Knowing it was her calling on the other line, prior to picking up the phone, I called two co-workers into my office and answered the call on speakerphone. Unfortunately, after speaking with other lawyers in town, they all warned me about her and advised to just "stick it out", which I did. The day of the deposition she pinched me and kicked me under the table (hard) when I didn't answer a question the way she thought I should. In the end, her law office took 33% of my settlement, and I vowed to never cross her path again. I advise every one to ask other attorneys of their opinion of Kathleen Neary before hiring her. My personal advise is to steer clear.
