Neil Opdahl-Lopez

Hi, my name is Rich and I hired Neil for a case that I was reluctant to take. I really try to avoid lawyers at all costs, but in this situation I felt like I was being taken advantage of, and I just couldn't let it go. I was superbly frustrated, I was distraught and I had lost, potentially, a ton of ...money. That being said, Neil was referred to me and he came in and completely quelled my concerns and really changed my mindset from that of defense to offense. And I never, never would have been capable of feeling that way or taking a better optimistic attitude had I not hired him. Throughout the process, he was extremely communicative, but more importantly, he was committed even when I didn't want to listen. I said, "Let's just get this over with, if they're offering that much, then let's just take that." I just wanted something to be done. I felt like anything was a victory. He wouldn't let me settle. Not once. So, we ended up getting, essentially, all of my investment back. And let me just tell you, I am an individual, just one person, and I was going against, so to speak, a corporation who, through all their emails prior to me hiring Neil, basically were leveraging their brand to make me feel like I had no chance. I easily would have walked away with nothing from the intimidation alone, but I had to dig in and Neil helped transcend this from a terrible experience into an unbelievably positive experience. The last thing I wanted to say was he is a man of service. He was a referral, I was in the Marines, just like he was, we've never met before, but he was a referral, and I believe his mind is that of service. He is unrelenting in what he will do and he's also unrelenting in making sure you get coached to be patient and make non-emotional decisions. And those non-emotional decisions are what actually led to a ton of money back in my pocket, where it belonged. So, Neil, thank you. I highly, highly recommend to anyone considering hiring him for your dispute or for your DUI or whatever it may be, give him a call, look him up and trust him.

Neil Opdahl-Lopez not only defended me with his complete dedication, but he also won my case. For years I was struggling with this plaintiff and after long last the case came to a close in my favor. The amount of the case protected all of my property and assets and he clearly did all he could to make... sure none of it was tampered with. Anytime I was uneasy on certain subjects he was always one text or phone call away where he was readily available to answer my uncertainties. During trial dates he was early to explain the process to me and let me know what to expect. Thank you Neil for all of your hard work and I know you're as happy as I am to protect my $2.7 Million dollar case!

When looking for a lawyer to finalize my divorce and to start an eviction I was worried I would be searching for ever. Neil was the first one I contacted. I hired him because he was confident and easy to work with. I felt I didn’t need to look any further. He kept me updated on both cases and I never... felt out if the loop.

Neil Opdahl recently helped me with a very sticky unlawful detainer/eviction issue I was having. After the tragic deaths of two family members, I inherited a home that had a family of deadbeat tenants who used my tragedy as a means of squatting for free in the home. Their refusal to leave forced me t...o pay the rent as well as take care of my own family, which made this already unbearable situation a full blown nightmare. Neil made himself available to me, walked me through exactly what I needed to do in order to get these people out of my house legally, and followed up in a timely and caring manner. During this time, I was also having issues with my property management company at my apartment (as if I needed any more problems), and Neil stepped in and handled that in one fell swoop. He truly cared for the well being of myself and my family, and helped me more than any other attorney I spoke with. To say he is knowledgeable on this subject would be an understatement, as he truly has a gift for practicing law. I deeply appreciate his work to help me get through these difficult times. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone who asks me.

I was pulled over on the I-40 E on Mother’s Day weekend as well as arrested. I was arrested on the grounds I was under the influence of my prescribed anxiety medication. It was apparent to anyone who came into contact with me I was not intoxicated in anyway shape or form. I spoke to my husband on the... phone who was waiting for my son and I to return home and he was so confused, My mom and dad(who is a retired police officer) talked to me as well as picked my son up made a comment to the sheriff my son said I did not seem messed up . The sheriff told my parents I did not seem in any way impaired. So, I looked to retain a lawyer, I looked for several and came upon Neil. He wasn't even going that far to Barstow but agreed to take my case. He dove right in and I had my first court date moved 2 xs as well as my DMV hearing only for it all to be shelved. Neil was ready to fight and take this to trail if he had too. It is looking like right now it will hopefully just run out on the statute of limitations. I highly recommend hiring Neil if you are in need of a Criminal Defense Lawyer. He is a good lawyer, and will keep you calm as well as reassure you. He will not blow smoke up your a** either.
