vile and cold- hearted. do not recommend for anything. Does not listen very well. She needs another line of work.

I was recommended to her but if you have never had an attorney, don't let her be your first. She is impossible to reach - like you will not get an email back (which she prefers over calls/texts). She is overly busy which makes her come off to clients as very cold. She talks to you like a child/dumb when answering questions at times as well.

Try to use her status to get special treatment. Stated that she was happy that my child had passed away. I do not recommend to no one !

I attended Dekalb County court for a civil matter. I rose my hand to ask a question during a break and the marshal motioned for me to ask my question. Judge Joyce Neal was unaware that the marshal told me to ask my question and then humiliated me ranting about how it is improper to shout out and insinuated that I was ignorant. She also stated that she was getting agitated because she had been at work for 8 hours straight during her rant. When it was time for my case I said for clarity your Marshall told me to ask my question and that it was disheartening that she would insinuate that I was ignorant. I was expecting an apology but instead she humiliated me further saying that I was speaking too loudly and asked me if I like to be in a holding cell. She mocked me and belittled me further by saying use your inside voice. This was extremely cowardly as of course I could not reply. I was speaking extremely calm and kind and did nothing wrong. I can’t believe that judges can conduct themselves this way.

Horrible jurist. Incompetence at it's highest levels. She seemed puzzled when questioned about legal approaches. She is arrogant and lacks humility. Her comments and responses tend to reflect her lack of judicial skills and ability. She's a stain on the judicial system.

I hire Joyce Neal for a personal injury case. BIG regret. She never ever returns calls, filed my paperwork months after she said she did and was rude and short when I came in for a meeting. She looks tired and overworked (I guess) because she certainly didnt have energy for my case.

Good Morning All: I would like to terminate my contract and consult with Bell Washington effective immediately. I understand you are all busy, but after signing with you, I feel that I have not received legal attention on my personal matters as it was discussed on the initial phone call and in the interview in person. My girls were being abused by their Mother when I reached out to you in December 2016, and all I could get from you was how we did not have a court date yet. Because of my sense of urgency, I reached out to my own personal contact (my sister-in-law who is a 2L) and she was actually responsible for getting the ball rolling for me to have custody of my daughters in January. As of today, 05/17/2017, we still have not heard from you on a final resolution to the temporary court order, plus we don't have a court date. I have not received any financial support from my kid's mother, and she only abided by the visitation arrangement once. Meanwhile, I have had the extra stress of being laid off from my job as of 3/31/17. It was very disturbing and heartbreaking to know that I had a court date and I didn't know about it, because I was not informed by my representation. Once again it was my sister-in-law who took action on 5/14/17 and informed me that my case was dismissed on 3/06/2017. I have called your office serval times since 5/14/17, and have yet to receive a call back. It is unprofessional that I was not kept up to date on the status of my case and it is obvious that my legal issues are not a priority to you. If you were unable to manage my case, I would have appreciated the courtesy of being informed so that I could make an intelligent decision about whether to proceed with someone else. As of 5/17/2017, I am requesting to terminate our agreement. A Disappointed Dad,

Attorney Neal is a very effective, experienced and responsive attorney. She secured a favorable judgment in my legal matter.

Joyce Neal is simply the best. I was referred to her by a friend of mine, and she acted quickly due to the situation. I recommend Joyce Neal to anyone that is in need of Legal counseling. Your questions will get answered, and most importantly you will receive positive results. If you are in need of any legal advice Joyce Neal is your best option.
