Came highly recommended, did not disappoint!

After extensive research, we hired Kathleen to represent our interests in a disability discrimination case. She was with us every step of the way, explaining the law, our rights, and her strategy to win the case. If you find yourself in need of an attorney with the experience and knowledge to represe...nt you in a discrimination case, we highly recommend you consult and hire Kathleen Neary.

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!

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.

She is Relentless

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.

  • 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.
