The attorneys and staff at Carey, Leisure and Neal fought hard for me. They handled all aspects of my auto accident case and were easy to work with. They made sure that nothing fell through the cracks and I know I got the best settlement because of their expertise. I highly recommend!

Dealing with the initial shock of where to turn when needing legal representation is overwhelming. The staff at Carey, Leisure, and Neal made a stressful moment in life manageable with both legal savvy and the individual compassion needed.
At every level the staff was personal and professional, providing in-depth background and legal knowledge. Their hard work on my behalf has gained my respect and future recommendations.
Very knowledgable with my auto-body injury case, staff is very professional , courteous & organized also excellent communication skills. To resume , all of this excellence in this law firm they where able to solve a two year case gone no where with a previous law firm to solving and been victorious in only one year. Definitely I will choose Carey Leisure & Neal and will one hundred percent recommend their services.

Dog attack July 2018 involved very tricky people where I wound up needing help from Melissa S.. Stephanie V, and other staff at this Law Firm. They were diligent, caring. Helped me when times got very dark as dog owners were extremely negligent and unwilling to even pay outstanding medical bills. I pray those who need help getting justice turn to these very fine legal experts. Thank you Stephanie V most especially for following up with Insurance Company.

I've had the pleasure, if you can call it that, of working with Jodi and her team twice. My first dealing was in 2014. I provided Jodi with a number of challenges. I was a not so good at listening client. Even with the issues I created she resolved the matter not only quickly but overcame the issues I created.
Our 2nd time Jodi and her team, Stephanie and Bobbi did an excellent job preparing in navigating the process. Assisting me with all my needs, addressing my concerns--and resolved the matter quicker than I thought possible.
I feel valued as a client yet not treated like a client. Jodi is quick to address my questions and concerns. Stephanie V. Is, well, probably one of the nicest yet firmest young ladies it's been my pleasure to work with! Bobbi is a sweetheart and I cannot forget Debbie at the front desk--there is no way you cannot smile when she answers the phone!
I believe Jodi and her team to be a caring, thoughtful group and I would strongly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney! Sincerely, Derek Bennett

First time dealing with an Auto lawsuit. I had such a wonderful and patient Attorney. Melissa Solevilla took her time to answer any questions I had. She was there to reassure me that everything was going to be ok. I also had the opportunity to meet with Jodi Leisure. She was very helpful with the settlement process as well. Anytime I called I knew I would receive the warmest greeting from Mrs. Debbie! CL&N are a great team of Attorneys. Would highly recommend!

I would like to thank attorney Melissa Solevilla for the amazing job she did on my case. Melissa went well above and beyond what I expected of an attorney after my auto accident. She always returned my calls and kept me up to date on my case. My case was complex as the driver that caused the accident left the scene. I was injured and my SUV was totaled.. Melissa got the insurance company to pay me a fair offer for my totaled SUV and pay the maximum amount of liability dollars allowed by law. She helped find me medical care and worked to lower my medical expenses owed to the hospital and doctors. She also got the maximum uninsured motorist coverage that I had on my insurance policy. I can't thank her enough for her patience, professionalism, knowledge of the law, and her kindness toward me during a really tough time in my life. I hope that anyone that reads this review will retain Melissa as I am sure she will work as hard for you as she did for me. Thanks again Melissa, I don't know what I would have done without you!!!!!!

I have had to hire a few lawyers in my time, but not one has been a pleasure to work with like Jodi Leisure. In the past, I would have to reach out to the attorney to see where things stood,not with Jodi. She was on top of the case from day one and was keeping me in the loop along the way. That kind of support and loyalty is hard to find in an attorney today. I would highly recommend Jodi to anyone going through tough times because she will bring only her best to the case.
Jodi really cares about her clients’ well being.

Hands down the best experience. I was in an automobile accident and the staff at Carey Leisure and Neal were phenomenal. You could always hear a smile through the phone when the receptionist answered, the paralegals that worked on my case were very helpful and diligent, and the attorney assigned got things done. My questions were always answered promptly and I was kept in the loop through the entire process. I will definitely call them again if needed.

Everyone in the office was professional, responsive and well-versed in all the issues of my lawsuit. I really appreciated their knowledge of medical providers and how they guided me to really good people and care. It is clear that they have tremendous experience in caring for people after automobile injuries and helping them not only with negotiating the settlement but in getting to the right doctors and treatments to help them recover. I highly recommend them.

When I was frustrated and not sure what was going on, they listened and answered my questions. During the most stressful time I have had in recent history, they were a bright light. Thanks Jodi and Melissa for your hard work and dedication.

I was referred to Carey ,Leisure & Neal by a retired court bailiff who saw just about every attorney in action on a daily basis. To me there was no better source for an attorney referral. Attorney Neal was assigned to my case and as expected she was professional, seasoned and well respected by other professionals especially the insurance companies. Mrs. Neal was very straight forward with me from the get-go...she was very creative in her strategy in regards to the issue at hand. Hopefully, I won't need her services in the future, but if so I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her office again or refer her to anyone.

i was referred to this firm from an attorney friend of mine. i was leery because of how another firm handled something else for me. i tried to be positive and hope for the best and what came out in the end was far better than what i had expected. everyone in this firm addressed me like a friend, not a client. treated me with the same level of concern one would treat a family member. not one time did anyone down play my case, try to convince me to settle for less, or let another firm dictate what was in MY best interest. i would refer this office to anyone and feel good about how they would be treated. one more thing, Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Leisure are for sure CLASS ACT #1. thank you for everything.........

Choose another firm!!!!!! As managers/owners we are held accountable for our employees conduct. Good or Bad. If it's good we give accolades , bad we reprimand or in a worst case scenario, dismissal. But whichever the case we must make it right with the consumer. In this case this firm did not. Nor do they care. I am still dealing with matters in a divorce that my lawyer at the time John Arthur Smitten an employee of Carey and Lesiure, well former employee of the firm. Google his name and you will see why I say former employee. 2 years later I am still spending money trying to fix everything he did. I reached out to Carey and Lesiure and was told to call the office and set up a meeting, because they were not sure what I was asking of them. I replied to them stating what I was asking of them and it would be difficult to meet with them as I was at many times during the week was the only management on duty. That was 3 weeks ago, still no response. All I asked was for them to help me financially with what their employee at the time John Smitten did not do during my divorce in 2015. Yes, 2 years later all the things he said he took care of have come to a head. Thousands of dollars later with no accountability on their part. So please, for your own piece of mind find another firm. A firm that will hold themselves and their employees accountable the actions.

I fell and broke my hip on rental property that did not have railings on their steps. I called this law firm and started the law suit.
The first person I talked with was the lawyer, Melisa, to get started, this process took about 2 month, I would rate it a C. During this hole process I only talked to her 2 times.
The next step was handled by their legal aids, where they had to gather the paper work from the hospital, doctors and rehab., this process took a long time, about 9-10 month, I would rate it a D.
The next step was negation with the property holder insurance co., this was handled by Stephanie, she was the best person to deal with, she would call me every week and give me a status of the progress. This process took about 2 month, I would rate it a A.
The final step was disbursement, this was handled by Alison. This process took about 3 month, I would rate it a B.
The process from start to finish took about a year and a half. I would give this law firm a final rating of a solid B. Stephanie shined above everyone that I dealt with. This was my first (and I hope my last) law suit. I did not know that my insurance co. would get about 1/3 of the settlement. I only got about 1/3 of the settlement, but that is better then nothing !!!

I worked with Melissa and the experience was awesome! I had a horrible law firm handling my car accident when Stephanie called me and told me they were going to be handling the case from now on. They worked with me for a VERY short period of time and were great with explaining things to me. Melissa was so honest with me and super friendly. Great sense of humor also! They got my case closed at mediation, Melissa's team worked so hard to get everything situated for me. I definitely recommend Carey Leisure & Neal and also Melissa!!!! Thank you guys again!!!!! -Rhiannon

Katherine Neal is an excellent attorney. Not only is she smart, but she answers all your questions immediately and she is very kind and compassionate. She's also board certified, which in simple terms means she has the skills to fight cases in court when the insurance companies try to settle for the least possible, even if it means you ( the victim) aren't taken care of. In my case, I had another firm, they weren't very good. I fired them and hired her. Soon after, the insurance company who wanted me to settlement for an amount that would not even cover my medical bills, sent the full amount- no more haggling!

I got in my first car accident in 2011 and I chose Carey and Leisure as my attorneys. Katy Neil was my lawyer and from the moment I met her I knew I made the right choice. She was so warm and welcoming with such open arms. I was so nervous being that I was 18 years old and so young but she was so comforting and made things so easy for me. Any questions I had she was always there to answer them for me and never left me questioning anything. I recently got into another car accident and as soon as it happened I instantly called Katy at Carey and Leisure. Debbie, the receptionist who is so sweet sent me right to Katy and from there she was so willing to take my case without a hesitation and guided me on what to do. I refer anyone I know who has any accident problems to this firm especially after having such a great support team during my first accident I couldn't imagine anyone else handling my case now the second time around. I am extremely confident with there whole team and I know I made the right decision. Thank you so much to everyone at the firm! There the best!
