Hired for personal injury - Could not have expected more

We hired Kathleen due to a personal injury caused by a car accident. The insurance company of the party that caused the accident only would cover half the property damages and none of the medical expenses. Kathleen took the case and made sure that all of the details were taken care of and did while... making the process as convenient as possible for us. Ended up getting a fair settlement without going to trial. Kathleen did everything that was promised.

Professional, Determined Advocate!

Kathleen Neary is highly recommended! She is one of the most professional attorneys I have ever encountered. I consulted Kathleen when my employer was discriminating against me because of my gender/sex. She was so experienced -- she told me immediately what actions were actionable and what actions... were mean-spirited but unlikely to lead to recovery. She gave me excellent advice on what to do at work to survive until I could get the hell out of there. Her reputation in Lincoln and Omaha for both for discrimination claims and personal injury matters is stellar -- all of the defense attorneys know she will be a fierce opponent when fighting for your rights, which helps when she is negotiating for you.

Best call I ever made!

I would highly recommend Kathleen Neary as your lawyer. She represented me in a personal injury case after I was hit by a car. I didn't know what to do after my accident. She immediately took care of every aspect of my case, calling insurance companies & taking care of all the medical issues. She was... very caring and compassionate while I was laid up. Kathleen checked in with me and kept me informed. She is very knowledgeable in her field and will work tirelessly for you. Kathleen told me to be patient while she dealt with the insurance companies. Both companies settled, but she was ready and willing to go to trial and they knew that. If you want a lawyer that's professional, precise and won't back down Kathleen is your woman!

Personable, Professional and Persistent!

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!

excellent choice for lawyer

Kathleen was my lawyer on a personal injury case last year and she did an incredible job for me! She was always available for me and always went the extra step to make me feel comfortable with the litigation and really hit a home run on my settlement. She got me a great result! I highly recommend... her to anyone who needs a great lawyer would will be a serious advocate for them.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
