Ms. Neville is one of the most hardworking attorneys I have seen. She will do whatever necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. She is also honest and transparent which although difficult, is important to manage client expectations. She is blunt, will not just tell people what they want to hear to appease them. Her knowledge, passion, make her an excellent attorney. It also doesn’t hurt that she is an absolute rockstar in trial.

I was pawned off on Ms. Neville because the more experienced attorney in the firm that I had consulted with wasn’t available for my hearing date. After the firm received my retainer she immediately cast doubt upon her own abilities to be successful in my case and told me that it didn’t look good. As my case is still ongoing with a new attorney I can’t divulge too many details but I will say a few things. This attorney did not fight for my case at all. The judge gave my ex temporary full legal and physical custody (a man who abused me for 8 years and only had visitation and 50% legal of our child ) and she didn’t even request visitation on my behalf. I’m not a criminal and have never hurt, neglected or not provided for my child. The judge made her decision based on what SHE felt was a factor and the attorney didn’t object, dispute it or argue on my behalf. When the attorney addressed the judge and went to say my name - she FORGOT MY NAME. Maybe if someone is paying you thousands of dollars you try to remember who you’re standing next to and representing. She also emailed me a document that contained another minor child’s name and when I pointed it out she stated that she had used a prior case document as a template. The amount of time she charged me for was outrageous considering she used other documentation as a template - and I have to wonder if she’s using my information as a template and then sending it to someone else. She also repeatedly got details wrong that I corrected over and over. I gave her a wealth of information and evidence and she stammered in front of the judge. She also forwarded emails between herself and the other attorney in which they engaged in chitchat about their own kids’ play dates while discussing my case! I do not recommend this attorney - find someone who will fight for you and remember your name in court. She also has my case file and a binder full of evidence that she has not given to me despite my requests for her to do so. If you want a copy and paste attorney - she’s your gal - if you want someone who will fight for you and remember your name - keep looking!
