Scum of the Mindanao deeps

Having had the dubious honor of agreeing to have a local Barney Fife do car restoration fdo work for me who tried to rip me off this lying member went to Neeley and told this guy incredible untrue stories . Trying to get any info from this practicing legal fool was beyond anything others have repo...rted about Neeley. He should be sanctioned and disbarred for improper practice and disgusting behavior. The only thing worse than having to deal with Neeley was the lying stealing client he represented. How he ever got into Law School let alone finished must be that he knew someone in admission that felt very sorry for his colossal incompetence and deceptive practices

Arrogant and unprofessional

This man will try to leave you penniless and be vindictive as possible. A simple divorce he will drag out. Use excuses such as his wife having a medical treatment to push dates back. He brings everything to trial regardless of how simple and civil you may want to be. He knows that he will get 15k plu...s for every trial so why not drag it out and line his pocket. He will lie on documents and try to sway the emotions of the court. When you dig into his past he has been a basketball coach who "unwillingly" resigned from his position, another word's he is a perv. When ever he's in court he is very arrogant in his approach and dispectful to the court. How is this man still walking on his own will is beyond me. If you hire him or have to deal with him just know he will drag it out agree to nothing and try to pinch every penny you have. Just understand he's a crook and should not be allowed to continuing to practice law.

Your better off representing yourself!!!

Doug Neeley is the attorney from a very small county and all I ever heard was how good he was. come to find out he is the worst Divorce attorney I could've hired! He only showed up the 1 time after I paid 15k to tell the judge he wanted to withdrawal from my case on court day, and I never received ...any of my money back because of false hours charged. Come to find out when you tell people that Neeley is your attorney they laugh. And say "I hope your planning on losing everything." He doesn't answer calls or even read your case, he showed up not knowing anything about your case . Which I disregarded at the time and I hand to represent myself in the end. I can promise you its better hiring anybody but him!

Idiot... Only wants your money

He will take your money and never call you back or follow through. Then when you have your day in court he tells you to just settle.

  • 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.
