From the start, Kelly was professional and confident. She took the time to learn the facts and hear what we had to say. She was very fair with how she charged for her time, but did thorough research and, despite our unusual case, came to litigation ready with strong case law. We got the result we wanted and needed for the safety of our kids. We would absolutely hire her again.

Kelly helped me through a very difficult and long divorce. She fought for me and is still fighting for me over a year after my divorce was finalized. I can’t imagine having anyone else by my side except Kelly. Thank you Kelly!

Kelly represented me in an emotional, grueling custody battle. She was very professional and knowledgeable and she worked hard on my case. The service that she provided for my family was priceless. She met with me several times between court dates to discuss my concerns and she addressed them all. Her staff is wonderful also. I didn't get everything I wanted in court but we were able to figure out a plan that was safe for my children, and that they will be supervised at all times. We are still working on finalizing everything and I will be keeping Kelly on back up in case we ever have to go back to court. She has a great sense of humor too!

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. She's smart, ethical, trustworthy and truly dedicated to helping her clients. Her staff is just as caring and professional as she is. If she's on your side you're in great hands.

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.

I absolutely love Kelly. I had a previous lawyer for my divorce case that made a mess of my divorce and I hired Kelly so I could move out of state with my kids. She is very responsive and gets back to you at a timely matter. She tells you her honest opinion and doesn't feed you a bunch of crap. She gives a monthly statement to know how your money is being spent. I wish I wold of had her for my first lawyer because thing would of been a lot better for me but I am glad to have her now. She has a great sense of humor and easy to get along with. During my trial I felt at ease with having her by my side. I highly recommend her to anybody!!!

Kelly McNeal is a true professional who provides excellent representation. In addition to numerous legal questions/consults, I have been Ms. McNeal's client for both a divorce and child relocation case and have been very impressed with the way my cases have been handled. From the initial consultation, Ms. McNeal impressed me with her knowledge by formulating and talking over a plan for what to expect throughout the process(es). I am in the military and in addition to knowing the ins and outs of Florida Law, Ms. McNeal was able to provide up to date information for the way military benefits and relocation issues factored into both cases. She is honest, up front and direct with her communication - meaning she is always willing to listen to requests, but also isn't afraid to tell you if you're asking for something unconventional or unreasonable. More importantly, she always fully answers questions and provides solid rationales with her recommendations and answers. Ms. McNeal is always well prepared and put us at ease during very stressful litigations. She strives to help find a solution that both parties can agree to, but she will shine and represent your case very well if your case needs to go to trial! I felt very confident when we had to go to trial and it was evident that we always had the best counselor in the room. I have used other attorneys in the past, but my previous experiences have left me wondering what I was paying for. McNeal legal has an excellent team and Ms. McNeal isn't out to "run up the bill" like I unfortunately experienced with two previous attorneys. Finding a well respected, capable attorney who is awesome counseling you in legal matters, dealing with other attorneys - across different states, representing you in court, drafting documents and who knows her case law is hard to find. Finding the same attorney who is also ethical, honest, excellent in communication and genuinely wants to provide you with the best legal representation is even harder to find. Ms. McNeal is the first - and only - attorney that I am proud to call "my lawyer" and I hope that she never leaves Florida because I intend to continue to seek her professional advice for any future legal needs. McNeal Legal will provide you with an excellent Legal Home and I will continue to highly recommend Kelly McNeal to all my professional colleagues (both military and civilian), family and friends. Thank-you, Kelly!

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.

To whom it may concern: It is a genuine pleasure and honor for me to recommend Kelly McNeal as an outstanding lawyer. Kelly represented me in a litigation case against a homeowners association. I interacted frequently with her and depended on her. Kelly was always punctual, yet easygoing. She is keenly devoted to her work, but being a real people person, she was also enjoyable to work with. Kelly demonstrated from early in taking on my case that she understood what the Florida legal system is all about. She is well organized. Almost without exception, she put the customer first, feeling as I do that the key to good business is satisfied customers, and I am a satisfied customer. I suppose doing well as a lawyer is easy if you are, as she is, driven in equal measure by both quality and efficiency. In closing, let me say I have no hesitation in recommending Kelly McNeal for any Complex litigation. I feel confident that you will be as pleased with her as I am. Sincerely,

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.
