One of the top attorneys in Lincoln

I consulted with Ms Neary on several legal matters. I was impressed with her eclectic knowledge of law. I also appreciated her honestly with me over whether I had a legal leg to stand on in a particular suit. I had so many attorneys trying to sell me a bill of goods just to make a dime. It was... nice to deal with someone so knowledgeable, honest, and caring. I won't think twice about calling upon Ms. Neary when needed.

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!

She went above and beyond my expectations.

When I came to Kathleen I was not clear of my rights. I told her of my situation and she was blunt and to the point. It would be a hard case to win in Nebraska. She asked me if I was ready to go through the whole process of the court system. I was not sure. Once she helped me understand my rights, I ...felt I had a fighting chance. It took a long time and a few set backs. In the end she was an amazing lawyer. She got me a settlement that was way above my expectations. She is a trial lawyer and didn't even plan on a settlement. She is relentless at what she does. I am very thankful for her believing in me and taking on my case. I highly recommend her to anyone that does not know what there rights are here in Nebraska. She will fight very hard for her clients. She took on very powerful people and lawyers and was victorious.

Comforting professionalism

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"!

She got the job done

I was hit by a car and needed to hire a lawyer once I started to get phone calls from the driver's insurance company. I was overwhelmed, could not work, had medical bills and now, household bills piling up. I checked with some friends who had hired lawyers and Kathleen's name came up. I met with h...er and she became my lawyer. During this tough time, she reassured me, worked with the hospital and physical therapy facility so they would not contact me for payment (this case took some time). Kathleen's dedication to my case paid off with a settlement that was very fair and compensated me for lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering. Kathleen met with me for my depositions, but also kept in touch just to see how I was doing during this tough time. I appreciated her hard work and her caring about me as more than a case.
