"The runaway golf cart"

Neil was well versed in the trail proceedings. The case should not have gone to trail but Neil was well informed of the case and the status of the plaintiff, The district attorney was a joke and the Judge could not believe how many times he had to sustain testimonies from his line of questions. Neil ...(my Attorney) was surprised when the Judge quidded the case, without using the Juror's that had listened to the case. Neil proved that the district attorney, never had any evidence to prove his case.

Knows what he is doing

Someone I care about was arrested for DUII after a rollover crash and had a blood draw that showed they were over the limit. Neil knew how to challenge the arrest and evidence. The whole case wound up getting dismissed.

Stands up to the Police

My husband contacted Neil to review his case and hired Neil to represent him. Neil independently reviewed the court documents, videos of the sheriffs knocking my husband out of a chair, taking him to the ground, then tasing, punching, and choke holding my husband. He also spoke with an expert consult...ant with my husbands consent. He obtained a settlement for my husband from the Sheriffs department which we very much appreciate. Neil is not afraid to stand up to the police and hold them accountable for their actions. He communicated with both of us throughout the process and that helped us very much too. Thank you Neil!

Great choice for DUII representation!

Neil was great from beginning to end of our situation. -It ended with a dismissal the day before trial for DUII (Marijuana) and Reckless driving! This was all due to Neil's expertise and experience with the police assessment criteria and science behind DUII with Marijuana. He stood up for us with t...he DA and sheriff's office, and proved our innocence before the trial even started. The fact that my husband was not under the influence of anything didn't seem to matter until Neil became involved. We are grateful and definitely recommend him to anyone in this situation.

Neil is the best!

I took a sleeping pill. When I woke up, I found that I was being charged with 2 hit and run charges. Neil explained how to get them dismissed. That process took a while and the judge kept pushing him to have my case move forward with either a plea or a trial. Neil stood his ground and was able to get... both charges dismissed so I do not have a record.
