About Kenneth
Biography
I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Management of Information Systems, three weeks before my oldest daughter was born.
Various computer jobs eventually led me and my family to Las Vegas, Nevada, where I began the evening law program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Four long years, and two more beautiful children later, I completed law school.
I passed the bar exam in Nevada, but before having a chance to practice there an excellent job opportunity came up in Chandler, Arizona. (My wife wanted to leave Las Vegas for someplace with four seasons and cooler weather... sorry Honey.)
I moved to Gilbert, and began preparing for the Arizona Bar exam in my spare time. I passed the exam and even achieved the highest score in the state.
With my past experience as a technology consultant, I know how to take a complicated process and explain it in an understandable way. I will listen to your needs and concerns and communicate to you what your options are every step of the way. I pride myself in solving problems – quickly, competently, and as inexpensively as possible. I think that is what most clients want from an Arizona bankruptcy attorney.

Our experience
Last year, I consulted the Neeley Law Firm and we decided to go with his services. Attorney Neeley and his staff are exceptional. I had filed a CHPT 7 for my folks, and at the moment it felt like everything was crumbling to pieces. All of the staff we worked with were very responsive and answered all...

Treated Like Family
From the time we walked into the Neeley offices we were treated like family. It is tough to say in writing how my experience was with the Neeley TEAM. The TEAM resolved our issues in what I would consider record time for a law firm. Regarding communication, my calls and e-mails were answered within a...

Kenneth L Neeley's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. Why? His over 200 answers on AVVO show he completely tries and answers the question in detail showing his knowledge, accurate and complete and thorough advice. And he also can provide a tax answer to bankruptcy tax questions which is very important on income tax debts as well as other tax debts. Look at all his answers to questions and you can see why Kenneth is entitled to such a great endorsement. Great job and appreciated by a peer. I highly recommend this attorney for any bankruptcy-related work+"
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Mr. Neeley is a valuable asset to this community. His continuing dedication to the law and his clients is admirable."
"Kenn was opposing counsel on a case where he was retained very late in the process. Rather than push his client into bankruptcy and earn himself a higher fee, Kenn acted as the voice of reason, and took the time to try to resolve his client's issues. In the end, his client was able to avoid bankruptcy, and he saved a lot of money in the process. Kenn is exactly the type of attorney people need to consult with before filing bankruptcy."
"I met Kenneth through one of my clients who was also using Kenneth for his bankruptcy matter. Kenneth is extremely knowledgeable about bankruptcy and is always available to answer any questions I may have regarding such. I am quite comfortable referring people to Kenneth as I know he will take care of them. I highly endorse Kenneth."
"If you are thinking about bankruptcy and are seeing those ads for "lowest price," be warned. "Lowest price" sometimes is a reflection of desperation. Ken is not lowest price because he knows what he is doing. He has a ton of materials at his website for those who may be going through the stressful process of financial issues. Check his site out then give him a call. He and his staff will strategize with you to chart the right course for you and your family."
"Kenn diligently works to get his clients good results in bankruptcy cases."
"I've had the opportunity to work with Mr. Neeley for client that had both a bankruptcy and a personal injury matter. He does a great job for his clients on bankruptcy cases. In fact, I look to him for advice when I encounter bankruptcy issues in the cases I handle."
"Mr. Neeley is an outstanding bankruptcy attorney and operates a law firm that values excellent client representation. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer because he has proven expertise in representing debtors. He approaches his cases with intelligence and care. Kenn is on my short list of lawyers to whom I would refer a consumer debtor looking for help."
"Kenn is a great bankruptcy attorney and he does a fantastic job for his clients. I'm a bankruptcy attorney too and Kenn is the one I call when I need help with a case!"
"I endorse this lawyer.Ken and i worked on a project together recently. I found him to be smart, practical and ethical. He is very highly qualified bankruptcy attorney... all chapters!"
"Kenn takes a lot of pride in conducting himself and his business with the highest levels of professionalism and competence, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody thinking about bankruptcy."
"I met Kenneth Neeley over a MCLE seminar. We traded notes on bankruptcy related matters and I found his knowledge of bankruptcy and the way he manages and conducts himself with the upmost professionalism. He is very well informed on the fine points of bankruptcy law and is an asset to the Arizona Bankruptcy Bar."
"Kenn has established himself as one of the "go to" lawyers in the bankruptcy field in the Phoenix area and has a reputation for doing a great job for his clients."
"Kenneth takes pride in his work for consumers helping them fight through difficult times. He also educates the community on bankruptcy issues and stays on top of the latest developments in the area. I would not hesitate to seek Kenneth's assistance in bankruptcy, debt settlement and related matters."
