Excellent help with civil suit.

Austin helped me with a messy civil suit. His advice and expertise made the whole issue very manageable. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Great Attorney

Austin went above and beyond. Having a lawyer that is motivated and responsive is invaluable and Austin definitely delivered. Throughout our case he was very hands on and looking out for our best interests. We could always reach out to him for updates and even though our case was pretty draw out, we ...felt prioritized throughout.

A Fighter and a Winner

I was recently involved in a very challenging legal matter that I was told was essentially unwinnable by several trusted confidants. I turned to the Osborn Machler firm based on their reputation with difficult and complex cases, and Austin Neff was assigned as the lead attorney in my case. From th...e beginning, Mr. Neff and his colleagues concurred that my case was indeed an uphill battle. But Austin immediately began to outline a legal strategy he calculated would maximize our chances of success. What stood out initially to me was his ability to explain complex legal terms and processes in a way that I could easily understand, which helped alleviate much of my anxiety—which, I admit, was through the roof. As someone with very little exposure to the legal system, much of the strategy Austin constructed seemed almost counterintuitive to me at first. But he was very patient in explaining the reasoning for his approach at every step of the way, as I peppered him with endless layman’s questions about the law. By the time we were ready for the hearing, I almost felt like I had a couple semesters of law school under my belt. I realize that all attorneys have multiple cases they are working on at any given moment. And I realize that they simply cannot be as emotionally involved in each of their cases as their clients are, of course. But I’ll have to admit that my level of optimism went up a notch or two when Austin looked up from a response he was reading from opposing counsel and paused and stated, “I’m starting to take this personally.” The hearing itself was the first time I had seen Austin Neff in action in the courtroom. For moral support, the founding partner of the firm, Sim Osborn, was also at the defense table—I felt like I had a whole team behind me. Austin’s presentation of our side of the case was impressive. His arguments were incredibly articulate, nuanced, well-crafted, incisive, and on point. It was a master class in legal exposition, and even to me as a layman it was clear that he had shifted the law and the facts to our side. Thanks to Austin Neff's hard work and tenacity, we achieved a clear, convincing, and completely favorable outcome that day. I didn’t think it was possible--I remember thinking when the judge rendered her decision, “Wait, what? We won??” The result has had a profound impact on my life, and I cannot thank Austin and the Osborn Machler firm enough for their support and expertise. I highly recommend Austin Neff to anyone in need of legal assistance. His knowledge, professionalism, personability, and cool under fire makes him an outstanding choice for anyone facing difficult legal challenges.

A Gem. 5-Star Quality, Delivery, and Service. Highly Recommend.

Austin and his team are absolutely amazing. Before moving forward with Austin and his firm, I spoke with multiple firms to see who might be the best fit for my case. Although I was not entirely certain about the best direction for my case, I chose Austin and his team based on our conversation, and I ...am so happy that I did. Not only did Austin provide me with incredible and unwavering support over the years long duration of my case, he also hit it out of the park with my case result. Austin and his team go above and beyond for their clients at every turn. Austin cares about the well being of his clients and the case result equally. This combination made the complex process clear, and smooth, and led us to the best possible outcome. Austin is trustworthy, extremely talented, and a complete pleasure to work with. I would choose Osborne and Machler every time without question, and will always recommend Austin and his team to friends of mine if ever anyone is in a position of requiring legal support. I am beyond pleased with my experience from beginning to end, the support, and the final case result that Austin and his team provided on my behalf. Thank you Austin for your care, and for creating the best possible outcome out of this experience.

Austin was awesome in making sure my case was resolved with the desired result. Throughout the process not only did he build a great argument for my defense, he made sure I was fully informed on every possible direction the case could go and what those potential results would mean for my future. I wa...s able to trust his council every step of the way and will definitely be going back to him for any future legal needs.
