A Professional for Professionals

Neil was hired to handle an issue involving my business and he now handles all of the company's legal matters. Neil helped me and a partner prepare a buy-sell agreement and he recognized what we needed right away. He is prompt, easy to work with, and I highly recommend him.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend Neil. My case started out as a separation/divorce and ended up being a child custody case. Neil was very good at letting me know my options and possible ways to go about the case. Neil helped to work with my ex and I to get a separation settlement in place without having to go be...fore a judge. Eventually the child custody got messy because my ex wanted to make a issue of something that had nothing to do with the case. Again Neil was able to help my ex and I could agree on a settlement we both were happy with. I'm extremely happy with my settlement and with Neil's services. Again, I highly recommend.

Child Custody Case

Neil was an amazing lawyer in my case. I told him exactly what I was looking for and he listened, and gave me the assurance that he will work his hardest to represent my needs. He knows the system very well and kept me well informed about my options, and broke down every sentence in the court papers ...with me to make sure I knew what the plan was. My case was handled very quickly and done within a month. He is very calm under pressure, patient, and polite, but yet aggressive when he needs to be; All of which are very huge things in these type of cases. I am very happy with the results and will recommend him to anyone who has to go through the troubles of child custody and support.

Neil is the BEST of THE BEST!

My experience with Neil De Leon was & continues to be 100% positive. Neil was referred to me by a very satisfied client, who happens to be a close personal friend of mine, and I am glad to say that I am now a very satisfied client as well! Throughout the process & my experience, Neil exudes a very ...patient and calm approach, yet makes you feel confident that if you have to take him into the court room he's a great white shark! Neil is very experienced & knowledgeable who KNOWS family law like the back of his hand. When it comes to child custody battles, Neil is intelligent, diligent, punctual, and dedicated to the families he works for. Neil worked on my very litigious case, where the irresponsible acts of the other parent caused for a child's safety to be seriously at stake, mounted with the parent not having or holding an amicable relationship with the other parent, making it difficult to have access to the child and not keeping the child's interest in mind. The difficulties encountered both in & out of court with the other parent, caused me to make a decision. I made it a point to find a lawyer in the middle of my case because of mistakes I made from representing myself & not knowing law. It was difficult and scary to place my trust and the trust of my outcome in the hands of an attorney, but Neil completely restored my faith that excellent attorneys that care about your family and the safety of your child, albeit rare, still exist! From the first phone call we made to Neil, he came up with a solid plan for us on the spot. Neil understood the complex issue and put my mind at ease with his candor and next steps. He is confident yet realistic; he doesn't just tell you what you want to hear so you will keep spending money frivolously in denial-- he tells you the REALITY of what you need to know to ensure that you are always 5 steps ahead of the other party. He also knew how to work within our financial means and provided multiple ways for us to follow through with our plan. Although there have been many twists and turns in our case, Neil has been by our side every step of the way, always responding to e-mails and phone calls promptly. In the courtroom, he is incredibly sharp and humble, the perfect combination that judges respect; even under pressure he advocated for us and came up with INCREDIBLE solutions right on the spot in the middle of court when the other party attempted to throw a few curveballs. Solutions that saved me more money, which I am greatly thankful for, a solution I would not have come up if I were self-represented. In the end, we got an outcome that was more favorable than we could have imagined. If you are looking for a family law attorney just remember one thing: the lawyer that you choose for a child custody battle plays a huge role in making (or breaking) your case. Only a parent who truly has their child's safety & best interest in mind can begin to even understand or comprehend what it means to know that my child & my family is safe because we placed our trust in Neil De Leon to fight for us and he did exactly that and MORE. Thank You Neil!

Family lawyer | Jun 14

Relationship: Co-worker

"I was court appointed minors counsel on a matter in which Neil represented the mother. Neil did a superb job for his client. He was well prepared and understood the nuance and details of the matter. He sent me all the relevant documents in the matter and organized everything in a way that made it easy to review. I ultimately recommended that custody remain with his client. This was due, in large part, to Mr. DeLeon's organizational and communication skills. His client was fortunate to have had him as her lawyer."
