Brian charged me tens of thousands of dollars, only to file motion after motion til trial and then stated to take the deal. The crazy thing is, we never went through my discovery together. NEVER. I’ve brought it up to him over and over again and he kept stating that he has it covered. Also, when the cross examination occurred, he sent another lawyer to do it for him, which ok as long as they came prepared. And this lawyer comes into court UNPREPARED looking through my discovery and writing notes. Why are you doing it last minute? Completely unacceptable. There’s a lot more I just don’t have the time to allow him to take away from my life. I shouldn’t have paid him upfront because once I paid him he stopped answering my calls and stopped keeping up with my case. You have to understand they are a business. He has other lawyers working for him. They don’t truly care for YOU. They take on so many cases, that you are expendable. This law firm is a total disaster. Save your money and go elsewhere. Go somewhere where they care about YOU personally.
Absolutely horrible. I got his name from a colleague of his as I needed someone to represent me on a dui charge. To be honest anyone with half a brain should have had the case thrown out because there was no evidence to support the charges. But it didn’t get dismissed. I paid him 5k as was what he asked and I got a letter saying that he was going to be representing me all the way up to and including a trial. And that was all I needed to pay. But it wasn’t. The prosecution did admit there was no case and didn’t want to pursue it but the Judge refused to sign off on the prosecutor’s request. The lawyer asked me for another 15k, no installments , all up front. New total $22,000. For a Municipal Court hearing? Two weeks later the judge did drop all charges and when I asked for an explanation, a bill for services rendered I was ignored . Still didn’t get a bill over a year later. Be very careful . . As another commenter pointed out, the positive reviews are from other lawyers and colleagues not clients.
If you ever want to be robbed and ignored then this law firm is the one for you. My experience with the Neary firm was beyond poor. When I asked for a simple task to be completed for 6 months(which was never completed which led me to switch attorneys) was completed in 2 months by another attorney we hired. He is rude and unprofessional. If you look closely at the reviews you can see they are just from his colleagues. I wish you all the best outcome in your case and hope this review finds you well.
Very thankful for this group! I came to Brian months before my case was initiated. Brian took his time to prepare himself in the event anything went into motion and it did, nearly 6 months later. I reached out to Brian immediately on a Friday night, he was with me in Court that following Monday. This was a very comforting experience especially for someone who has never been involved with the law. Brian is a fighter in the Court room and I felt secure in his advocacy for me. Suzanne Axel was assigned to my case immediately after my first hearing. I do not have enough amazing things to say about Suzanne! She explained all of my charges in extreme detail so I was aware of all possible scenarios, this continued with each progression of my case. She was compassionate and informative. She consistently reminded me any decision about the case was mine but advised me with my best interest in mind without failure. Suzanne is determined to get the best possible outcome for her clients and I really couldn't be more thankful!!
Honestly, after calling around to different attorneys, including a female attorney who represented a rapper and did well with that, I felt more comfortable going with the Neary team. They gave me hope whereas, that other attorney was only concerned about making $250 for her phone consultation. Then she wanted a $7500 retainer. If you have any experience with attorneys who require retainers, you know that bill always exceeds the initial retainer amount. I received a flat rate for the entire case with the Neary team. No hidden fees. I prefer to have a set price.
