Worst Decision Ive EVER MADE

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ If you dont want to lose and you want to have an actual lawyer to support you and fight for you STAY AWAY from Neil DeLeon. This attorney is the epiphany of why lawyers have bad reputation. He been an attorney nearly 2 decades he stopped caring and only cares about money.... First lets begin by saying he is a limited scope so he will they try to entice you with their price but dont make that mistake. Pay extra for an attorney Who will do everything for you in one payment. Neil will do everything he can to prolong the case and each time he comes to court he charges 2000-2500. Now think 5-10 appearances. Upon hiring him he was everything you would want in a lawyer after you pay him you pretty much dont have a lawyer. He doesnt do anything he says he will for you hence why you go to court and always have to get an extension by him. I had court Monday. 2 weeks prior to my court date I was need of a court prep. Every single day for the whole week i called for my court prep and they scheduled me a time to talk and Neil never showed up. Every single day he didnt even bother to give me a curtesy call to say he wont make it. They simply ignored me. Im left in complete dark. Today is Friday as im writing this Monday will be my court date and I will be going to court without a lawyer since Neil decided he doesnt want to represent me because im emotional before the court day because im upset he lied to me. Can you believe that? Hiring a lawyer paying them every penny they ask than they ghost you for 2 months and drop you day before the court. I have recorded every phone call with Neil and I plan on filling a complaint with CA bar association along with BBB Neil is only responsive when he wants money from you after that you are on your own! PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF AND NEVER GET A-LIMITED SCOPE ATTORNEY ESPECIALLY NOT NEIL.

Simply the best!

The staff was thee best in helping me through the probate process. I had never been through it before and they were all so patient and thourough. I could not have done it without them! Although I'm still sad over the circumstances in which we met I would do it all over again to deal with these folks!... Special shout out to Micheal Rodriguez and Cameron Hagen for being there for me & my family in this difficult time

A person you can count on

Adam helped me with my serious case about the divorce and child custody issue. He was very responsive and set-up immediately a meeting with me to discuss about this matter. He was knowledgeable and professional in explaining how the court system works and what will be the next step process to do to f...inish and fixed my difficult case. Thanks Neil, for helping every step of the way and for all the effort you make for us. Now, I have a happy living with my child. If you need someone with good sense of humor and knows how to handle everything for you to fight for your rights. Neil is the one.

It was totally beyond our expectation!

I highly recommend this firm for estate planning services. My wife and I just finished working with him to create our estate plan. I am very pleased with how things being explained to us. All the documents needed were discussed and given an extra evaluation to make sure everything was on the right tr...ack. He was very congenial to work with, very knowledgeable of estate law, thorough, and most of all exceptionally well organized. As a whole, the experience with them was totally beyond our expectation.

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."
