Jim did a fantastic job during my lengthy divorce proceeding. He was very knowledgeable and prepared, and skillfully guided me through all the sometimes ugly and painful steps. I'm grateful to have had such a strong attorney that could so brilliantly stand up to the Beverly Hills attorney that my ex hired. Knowing my financial struggles, Jim generously allowed me to make payments on my bill. And to top it off, his office staff is amazing ! I'm a very satisfied client.

Mr. Neavitt was an excellent choice for my custody case matter. I had previously worked with Jarvis, Kreager and Sullivan, a supposedly "big name" in the local Family Law scene, but everything about Mr. Neavitt and his staff was an improvement over that much larger firm. Mr. Neavitt's staff prepared my court filings and did an excellent job from the beginning, and they took the time to get to know my case so that they could effectively communicate my arguments. This was a big deal for me, because the staff at Jarvis did a terrible job, and my wife and I were eventually forced to prepare all of the documents ourselves. On the day of the actual court appearance, Mr. Neavitt was clearly in charge. He seemed to give off an air of competency and control that was felt by everyone, including and especially opposing counsel. I would recommend his office highly to anyone looking to settle a Family Law case.

Mr. Neavitt was my attorney on a complex domestic violence and child custody dispute, and support matter. My complex custody issues included substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness, all of which Mr. Neavitt skillfully reported to the court over vigorous opposition. I was granted domestic violence temporary restraining orders. The support issues were complex because my husband (self-employed) has refused to produce discovery and any financial information. Mr. Neavitt was able to focus the court's attention directly on these matters, despite the smoke & mirrors & misdirection of my husband and his legal counsel. The result of the hearing was 100% in my favor. Mr. Neavitt's skill, knowledge and Family Law expertise have been well worth the money that I have paid him thus far, and the $25K attorney fee award which he was able to obtain for me yesterday will go a long way toward continuing my legal representation and obtaining a fair distribution of our assets. I am a single mom, on a limited income, and Mr. Neavitt really fought for me. P.S. Mr. Neavitt's staff is fabulous to work with, especially Julie, Claudia and Sue!!

James Neavitt went over and beyond the call of duty! He helped me and my children through one of the most dark and difficult times of our lives. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy. The divorce and custody battle went on for two years, with many issues continuing over time! He is always there for us. He also had excellent referrals and helps for many issues and needs that come along with divorce. His staff is awesome! They are patient, kind, professional and helpful. They explain things that might be going on and they calmly inform you of things that will be happening. Going to court was SO stressful and scary to me. Jim , was always prepared, and explained what would /or could happen. He cared for my children and me and what was important for our needs and desires. I always felt he was respected by the court. We would never have made it without the help , wisdom and protection of James T. Neavitt and his amazing staff. May God continue to bless them all.

Jim was able to settle my case quickly and save me thousands of dollars. He knows how to work with other attorneys. My course had to got to trial and Jim was very prepared and knew exactly what facts and laws were relevant to achieving a great outcome.

Mr. Neavitt represented me through a lengthy divorce litigation and continuing child custody litigation. He was realistic at all stages, and always made it clear that divorce litigants and parents in child custody matters never get everything they want or think they deserve. His expert advise and counsel made the outcome more acceptable.

Seventeen years active in the court system from a thirteen year marriage. Trying to eliminate life time support and get justice when co-habitation has been recognized by the courts with no justification to terminate this nightmare. Stayed true blue with one attorney from the beginning and after 17 years in the same court room and spending $100,000's of thousand's of dollars with no closure in sight, it was time to change attorneys. I hired James Neavitt who reviewed the case, changed the course of direction and CLOSED THE CASE in THREE WEEKS ! Mr. Neavitt explained a new direction to me in detail we had to take to end this nightmare. For the first time, I felt protected, I felt that someone care about me and was determined to have immediate closure for me so that I could live my life in peace.

Mr. Neavitt effectively litigated my very complex and challenging divorce, that our Judge called "the most contentious case" he has ever presided over. He demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the law and helped me to prevail against an extremely litigious and relentless adversary. You can count on Jim and his supportive and competent staff to have the ability and determination to handle complicated and even hostile situations. He does not back down when the going gets tough!

I dealt with Mr. Neavitt regarding my divorce and child custody. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept me abreast of any upcoming issues. He was fair in his legal fees and honest with me in regards to the outcome. I highly recommend him in representing your case.

Jim has an excellent fund of knowledge on family law. He knew the challenges we would face also. Jim does not "mince words" and he will tell you "LIKE IT IS"...sometimes you would rather not hear it but you need to. I prefer that.

Mr Neavitt was an excellent attorney! Mr Neavitt was a peace maker and a shield for myself and my girls! Mr Neavitt literally went out of his way to make sure the children and I were settled and safe. I was always comfortable with Jim and his EXCELLENT office staff! I actually got more Child Support and Alimony then the Disomaster (spelling?) recommended, by his excellent negotiation skills and his perseverance. I had a very tumultuous divorce and was at odds and ends quiet frequently and found Mr Neavitt to be a calming, easy going and intelligent advocate, his vast experience in dealing not only with divorce proceedings, child custody, and children's rights was what some times pulled me through the though times. There was NEVER a time I could not reach Mr Neavitt or one of his staff should the need arise. When going through a divorce we sometimes feel afraid and confused, the smallest detail or question was treated with calm, reassurance and respect. I am forever grateful for all Mr Neavitt did to make a very painful and scary time as smooth as he and his staff could.
