Professional and Caring

Attorney Jim and his staff were amazing to work with. It was a very difficult time for us and he made the process very easy by explaining it in detail and what to expect. His staff was so easy to work with as well, especially Sheila, she was very detailed oriented and caring through the process. At...torney McNeilly and his team went above and beyond to make sure we were well informed throughout the process. We would highly recommend Attorney McNeilly and his staff.

Jen did great finishing things up for me and answering all my questions. You were great too getting this whole ugly pro...cess started. Thank you again!

Karla Newman - owner - Radon Remedy, LLC

My testimonial and recommendation: "I am very satisfied with the representation Jim McNeilly has given me. He has worked with me in creating a business sale contract and also in developing wording and a disclaimer to protect my liability in my company warranty. I like the fact that Jim cov...ers my legal liability without making things unnecessarily overblown and complicated. Jim also readily made himself available by telephone on a Saturday when I had an urgent question. I value this extra service and trust him with my business questions and contracts."

5 STARS

Recently a client of mine had a very complicated real estate transaction that needed to be completed in a short amount of time to comply with 1031 exchange deadlines. In addition to the real estate transaction, my client purchased an interest in the LLC that required the operating agreement to be re...stated to protect the interst of my clients. In a two and a half week span, between my vacation and his, two other attorneys and bankers involved with the deal, Jim was able grasp the concepts we were trying to accomplish and get it on paper so that all parties involved could understand. I can tell you this saved us time and money. Jim went above and beyond the call of duty to get this done knowing that my clients stood to lose over $200,000 if they could not get the deal closed on time. As a professional (CPA), I believe making a referral of my client to another professional is a direct reflection on me and my judgement. Jim made me look good in the 2 cases I've referred to him in the short time I've known him. You can be sure to receive 5 Star treatment in all your dealings with Jim. I've already mentioned his name to another client!
