“Dedicated. Astute. Determined. Mr. McNeil balances his comprehensive legal knowledge, engaging courtroom performance and awareness of clients’ needs, making him a cut above the rest. In short, he is a solid performer who understands the finer points of customer service and satisfaction.” -Mr. & Mrs. C. B. Gardner, Sr.

“My husband and I could not be more pleased with the outcome of our recent Lemon Law case. You handled our case so professionally and with so much expertise. We know we would have never had the same outcome without your assistance. We are very thankful that we found you! We highly recommend you to anyone that is in the same predicament that we were in!” -Johnnie and Bonnie J.

“I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your help with my 2009 Lemon Law case. I gave the car dealership every opportunity to make it right. As you know, without your help that would never have happened. Instead of a 2009 with after-factory additions, I was awarded a 2010 with everything I wanted, and then more. You were able to accomplish this, and the manufacturer paid your fee. I will forever be indebted to you for your help.” -Cindy G.

“I would, without hesitation, refer you to anyone trying to deal with a Lemon Law case. You made the process very simple and painless, and successfully delivered on all your promises. Your prompt communication and professionalism was greatly appreciated!” -Paul Y.

“Mr. McNeil was so easy to deal with. My claim was filed quickly and was resolved, to my satisfaction, even sooner than I expected. I especially liked dealing directly with Mr. McNeil, something you might not find with a larger firm. I have already referred Rick McNeil to a colleague with a possible Lemon Law issue.” -Dawn N.

“Rick helped me through a stressful settlement that ended with a desirable outcome. I especially appreciate the effective and consistent communication, support and hard work that Rick provided.” -Amy P.

“After a year of trying to get the local dealer to deal with a transmission problem, you were able to bring them to the table. You got me a cash settlement and got them to fix the car. With the cash you got for me and the repaired vehicle, I was able to trade for something much better. Thank you for your service.” -David S.

“I had a 2011 that went into the shop within one month of having the vehicle. It stayed in the shop several weeks, and I decided to contact Rick McNeil. Within three months, I was in a brand new 2012! The normal span it takes for these types of cases is six months but Rick had me in not only a new car, but in one in less than half the time!” -Jonathan C.
