Wasted Money

I regret hiring this lawyer a few years ago. I couldn't agree more about what other clients have noted about his work ethics. He does not have a strategy when he takes over your case. The only strategy he knows is how to play tricks on you so he can suck the money out of you. He is truly inexperience...d and does not have the capability to explain the law to a typical Joe. He will take offense if you challenge his thoughts and will throw you under the bus if needed. He will pretend that he has your back but when the going gets tough he will do all the tricks to force you to settle so he can avoid litigation. On multiple occasions he gave me advice or instruction on what to do and then later would give me the completely opposite advice without explanation. And if you tried to get an explanation he would get too defensive. On the bright side of things he is a good paper pusher guy and that's how he earns his money. Don't waste your time and money on this guy. Find a better lawyer who can advocate your rights and give you aggressive representation. I'm glad I didn't get stuck with this guy for too long. I spent a LOT of money and didn't go anywhere when this guy handled my case.

Highly Recommend

Neil represented me through a very difficult time ending my 14 years of marriage. We did not have any minor children but there were a lot of technical issues because my spouse was a government employee. He answered every question I had; returned my telephone calls when I call him; and prepared paperw...ork in a timely fashion. He is very knowledgeable and I have referred other people to him for his expertise. If I should need these services in the future, I would, without hesitation, contact Neil.

A great family lawyer

When I was was faced with making the decision to file for legal custody of my daughter I was very stressed out. Neil DeLeon made the whole legal process as less stressful as possible for my family. Neil is a very knowledgable family lawyer and I knew with him as my lawyer I was getting exactly what... my daughter and I deserved in custody and child support. I really feel Neil was looking out for our best interest and I felt confident that everything would work out and it did. Neil DeLeon was able to get me exactly what I wanted and more... Great lawyer to have looking out for your family's best interest.

Legal Counseler That Really Works, Hard and Diligently.

"I am young man in the state of California with full legal and physical custody of my two children. That is hard to accomplish!" To say the least. After thousands of dollars and trying to do things myself, five plus years of the judicial system "railroaded me", and everyone and their opinions, I ...hired Neil J. Deleon. He is GOOD and one of the best things to ever happen to my children and I. Without getting to in depth with MY personal situation, I told Neil to let any new potential or inquiring client know about my case. It was a unique one. THANK YOU Neil, and my children Thank You

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."
