Kelly is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. She has helped me several times in custody issues. She’s responsive, kind and personable when you speak to her but a true fighter for her clients. If you need legal help she is worth every red cent.

Kelly and her team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in my family law contempt case. She got matters settled quickly and fairly. Anyone who has had to deal with family law/co-parenting knows that that kind of timely outcome is rare, especially during Covid restrictions! I appreciate her compassion as well as her professionalism, I have and will continue to recommend her to friends as needed. Shes worth every penny.

I called to retain Kelly McNeal a couple months after I did a paid consultation for a divorce. Her front desk person said she would call me back. After not hearing from her for a day I called and was told she had accepted my case and she was getting my paperwork together. After waiting for almost 3 weeks with two messages left that were never returned, I called and the same person told me she was not sure if she was going to take my case and wanted additional information. I was taken back but answered her questions. I’m now telling a front desk person personal info about my case which felt very unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. To my surprise I received a call back the next day! Wow, they finally called me back but to say she was “straying away from family law and was cherry picking her cases”. I was devastated. I asked please for my consultation money back for she willing took it as she could take my case and now that she is not will she please return my money. I have called twice about this refund with NO response.Going through a divorce is terrible but the way this firm treated me was horrific. Let it be known if you are wanting a divorce attorney do not go here. I’m in the health care profession and I would never ever imagine treating one of my patients the way her front desk person treated me. Kelly McNeal Legal took my money and then refused to help me.Kelly has never reached out to me on this matter despite numerous attempts from me. Her front desk staff is terrible. Very rude. Doesn’t return messages and even lied to me about my case.I don’t want anyone to go through what I did with this firm.

I highly advise against consulting with this firm if you are in need of any type of representation regarding family law as she is turning away cases and “cherry picking” cases based on her own preference and not based a potential client’s needs.In addition, I am an associate of Jana H who also left a review and I can attest to the fact that she followed all instructions, and was told she now had representation when in reality, her calls were ignored and only returned by office staff. Meanwhile she was berated by her soon to be ex husbands lawyer and continually made attempts to speak directly with Ms McNeal who pretty much left her on “read”.It’s heartbreaking to watch people in need, be strung along while they wait for assistance and are left out to dry by a professional who took money, and gave verbal confirmation that she had accepted the case. I am appalled at the response left by McNeal, who shows no remorse or compassion for a potential client and even goes so far as to insinuate any of this was to the fault of the potential client.

Kelly McNeal goes above and beyond for her clients. Family law is high intensity and high emotions and she knows how to handle these waters well. She has represented several of my close friends during their divorce and they have been very happy with the service that she provides. She is no nonsense and gets the job done.I read her reviews and am amused by the fact they are all 5 star except the ones that are ex’s that she didn’t represent or those who don’t understand that in family law no legal advise can be given over the phone by a non lawyer answering or that a consultation fee is standard in family law since every lawyer you meet with means they can’t represent your ex then. It really shows how great she is if her clients exs take the time to give her a 1 star but her clients give her a 5 star.

Ive worked with Kelly since 2013, and would recommend her to anyone for family law related matters. She is incredibly knowledgeable, has a genuine interest in the outcomes of her clients, and is supported by an extremely professional and caring team.

I was recommended Ms McNeal by a friend. After researching her I made the decision to schedule a consultation. I met Ms McNeal and decided to hire her for my divorce. The entire process was a positive experience. Ms McNeal is prompt and professional. The billing was clearly stated and I was updated regularly. Ms McNeal was effective and efficient throughout the process and I was pleased with the end results of our mediation. Thanks to Ms McNeal, we were able to come to an agreement without going to court.I would/will recommend McNeal Legal to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

I recently hired Kelly to handle my divorce case. Kelly is honest, ethical and very knowledgeable in legal matters. She is also excellent communicator. All advice was given in a straight matter of fact but at the same time very kindly. I always felt that she cared about me and did what had to be done to protect my interests. Kelly and her staff were always polite, professional, quickly handled all necessary tasks and were very supportive. I always felt like my case was the only one they were working on because of the priority my issues received. I feel so much gratitude for all her efforts.

Professionalism, trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable, hardworking, compassionate and understanding are some of the qualities I have found through my experience working with Kelly McNeal. When I first met Kelly, she was very inviting and deeply in tuned to my case. I know from our first meeting that she was the best attorney to represent me.Mrs. McNeal worked above and beyond her call of duty. She kept me updated on all my court correspondence and documents. Kelly was extremely prepared and organized for my trial. I felt very confident going into court knowing that Kelly McNeal was representing me. I was very pleased of the outcome of my case. Im very fortunate to have her in my corner. I highly recommend McNeal Legal law firm!

RUDE! Called the company for assistance, and the woman who answered the phone spoke extremely fast and sounded as though she was being bothered with my phone call. The only reason there is 1 star is because I had to click on the rating in order to post this. DO NOT SEEK HELP FROM THIS FIRM!!!

Kelly is FANTASTIC! We had previous representation and had to hire Kelly for a separate matter. Once our previous attorney made us nervous we switched both cases over to Kelly. She is extremely knowledgeable and is aggressive for her clients. She is quick to respond and very pleasant to deal with. She also has a good sense of humor and makes you feel comfortable. We were very involved with our case which Kelly encouraged us to do as it saved us some money. We are still litigating, however we consider Kelly to be OUR attorney both for personal use as well as our business. She is HIGHLY recommended.

I was referred to Kelly by many great reviews. I needed someone who was well-versed in high conflict family law. It’s been almost 2 years since my initial consult and I can’t say enough great things about Kelly. She will always be my family law attorney. She and her team have worked so hard on my case and gotten me the results I was looking for. Communication with her team is easy. They’re prompt at answering, filing fast, and always keep me informed at every turn. Also her fees are fair and she doesn’t charge unnecessarily. She gets the job done. Trust me on that!

Kelly is an outstanding attorney who knows her craft well. She helped me navigate through some very tough legal issues involving my family. My only regret is not finding her sooner. Shes smart, ethical, trustworthy and truly dedicated to helping her clients. Her staff is just as caring and professional as she is. If shes on your side youre in great hands.

Ms. McNeal handled our relatively simple case with a level of professionalism commensurate with far more challenging cases. She kept us informed, advised us and respected our position. She provided draft copies of all correspondence for our review, incorporated suggested changes and answered all questions to our satisfaction.

I sought out McNeal Legal specifically based on their Google reviews. After reaching out via their website, and also leaving a voicemail without receiving any response whatsoever, I was finally able to get a hold of someone on my third attempt. The woman I spoke with was not kind or friendly in any way. When I explained that I was looking for representation for an upcoming case and asked if I could set up a time for a consultation, I was told they charge $300 for that. When I questioned her and explained that I’m not looking for free legal advice, that I have money for a retainer, and that I’m simply trying to determine if they will be a good fit, she reiterated that they charge for that. I wish I could get paid to go to job interviews regardless of whether or not I got hired. Needless to say, that quick conversation likely saved me much more than just $300.

I highly recommend Ms. Mcneal when choosing an attorney. She has integrity and is very hard working. Ms. Mcneal responds to questions and concerns in a timely manner. I will most definitely continue to use her services whenever needed. Her staff is also extremely hard working and efficient. Great job!
