Criminal defense

Neal is a great attorney! The man is a class act, a gentlemen, and a attorney who truly cares. He is not one to back down from a fight. He kept me informed at all times, answered emails, text, phone calls, and met me countless times to discuss the case. He is not a attorney that is cheap, he is inexp...ensive when it comes to your freedom, meaning you are getting what you paid for. If you want a cheap attorney that mails you their services do not go to him, because he does not operate that way. When your freedom is at stake there is no cost that should stop you from hiring Neal. When your in trouble do yourself a favor and retain his firm. He does not promise you a outcome, he promises he will get the best outcome he can. The outcome he got for me on a previous case was a dismissal.

More than just a lawyer - Neal is a life saver.

I am a professional who hired Neal in connection with criminal charges that were brought against me. Because I have a professional license that could be affected by the conviction, my inclination was to accept the plea offer from the district attorney's office. Neal and his legal team advised me that... while the decision was ultimately mine, they recommended I reject the plea offer and take the matter to trial. I agreed to do so. The case went to trial. Because of Neal's legal briefing and his team's flawless assault on the prosecution's case, the case was summarily dismissed by the judge at the close of the prosecution's case. In short, Neal and his team did such an incredible job on destroying the prosecution's case during its case-in-chief, I never had to put on a defense. The charges were dismissed, my professional license is intact, and because Neal insisted on prevailing on the merits, I was able to have my record expunged. Neal and his legal team saved my life and my career.

First Class Defense Attorney

Neal Davis is a first-rate criminal defense attorney who helped me through a very difficult time. Charged with a serious felony and with my career, liberty, and reputation at stake, I searched for the best defense attorney I could afford. Neal's name kept coming up, and I scheduled a consultation w...ith him at his office. After about an hour long conversation it was clear to me that Neal was compassionate, intelligent, honest, and hard working. Neal didn't guarantee anything, but told me he would do everything in his power to secure the best possible result for my case. Neal worked very hard on my case, investigating all the facts, talking to prosecutors, and keeping me constantly in the loop. I bombarded Neal with calls and e-mails, and he always returned my communications the same day, answered all of my questions and concerns, and made me feel like I was his only client. Ultimately, Neal secured a resolution for my case that I was extremely happy with, and one that will allow me to keep my career, liberty, and reputation intact. Neal is truly a first class criminal defense attorney to whom I would recommend all of my family and friends. If you are charged with a crime, large or small, Neal should be your first call.

An Outstanding Lawyer

I don't know exactly where to start. I like some of the others who had posted here, had a previous lawyer with whom I felt was not doing enough for my case. With my freedom at stake,over serious false allegations made against me. I took a longshot and scheduled a meeting with a lawyer at the Dick DeG...uerin law firm. The lawyer was excellent and was very knowledgeable and was willing to review my case, but there was one problem. I would not be able to afford the amount that was needed to retain this lawyer. He must have seen the despair on my face. He then handed me a number and a name of a lawyer that he said and I quote " If I was ever in trouble and needed legal counsel, this is the guy that I would have represent me. I know he would be able to work out something with your finances. That person was Neal Davis. I thought to myself if one of the lawyer at Dick DeGuerins' firm was recommending this guy, he must be good. The first time meeting with Neal, I was treated with kindness and he listened very closely to what I had to say. No sooner than me explaining my situation to him, he mapped out a plan for defense, worked with me on a payment plan and worked vigorously on my case. Throughout the 3 months he was on my case, he was always available when I called, or got back to me within 24 hours or less. If something new happened with my case, he called me right away, I didn't have to find him or harass him to get information. Neal ended up getting my case dismissed. He stopped it from ever getting to the Grand Jury much less the trial phase. The allegations brought against me were truly false and to have a lawyer as attentive, caring , and Knowledgeable as Neal was a GODsend! I know it seems to good to be true, but if your in need of counsel, I would definitely give Neal a call. These past 8 months have been some pretty dark days, without my faith in GOD and my confidence and trust in Neal, I may have been wrongfully incarcerated. Thank You so Much Neal!!!
