Hired Attorney

I hired Mr. Neilen to represent me in a personal injury law suite. He was professional, competent and hard working. He is kind, empathic, and took an interest in my health and well being. I was unable to make decisions for myself. He help my wife make decisions that were in my best interest. He did a great job communication with doctors, therapist, and attorneys.{para}I am now permanently disabled. He took great care in securing my future and holding the responsible parties accountable.

Hired Attorney

As a lawyer Monte Neilan represented my legal needs in the most professional manor. He was thorough, informative, and supportive. My past legal experience had not been positive, so it was refreshing to find someone that was both a legal advisor as well as a Good human being. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case, and did not cause undue stress. I would highly recommend Monte to anyone looking for an outstanding law professional.
