With John J. McNeil, your case is not just another number. This firm is not a "billboard" law firm where you never meet your lawyer and cases are settled cheaply. Every client's case is taken seriously and enthusiastically, or not taken at all. We spend a great deal of time getting to know our clients and assessing exactly what they need.
We have successfully defended hundreds of clients charged with crimes, from serious felonies of murder and drug trafficking crimes, to DUI charges and other misdemeanors. Personal injury is an area of the law which provides that monetary damages may be available for someone who has been injured due to the negligence or intentional acts of another.
Every experienced criminal lawyer has heard a story like this: "My aunt's son's girlfriend had a lawyer that got her out of it." If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that! The first thing to know about criminal cases is this: every single case is different. What worked in one case will not always work in another, and taking advice from "street lawyers, " as I like to call them, in not in your best interest.
Personal injury is an area of the law which provides that monetary damages may be available for someone who has been injured due to the negligence or intentional acts of another. By far the most common personal injury involving someone else's negligence is automobile wrecks.
We say wrecks as opposed to "accidents, " because, unlike what the insurance adjuster may try to tell you, legally speaking, you've been in a wreck and someone, likely, was at fault.When a car wreck occurs, you will likely be disoriented. Your adrenaline will also be pumping, which can give you a false sense of being physically well.

Estate matters can be tricky for the inexperienced. Did you know there are over 200 statutes covering wills and estates in Mississippi? For instance, what happens when there is no will, and the heirs consist of some full blood siblings and some half-blood siblings? And can an Administrator or Executor really sell property and move assets?

After my car accident John Mcniel was very helpful in getting me back up and going. Unable to walk with injuries to my right foot he travelled to where I was located so I could have a consultation in person! This made the whole process so much easier, he continued to be of any assistance needed until I was able to get up a drive again. He was able to process my claim quickly and efficiently going through all resources that were available to me from not only their insurance but mine as well. If you have any legal actions against you or if you need to file against anyone else I highly recommend John

As an out-of-state client, I found Mr. McNeil to be of invaluable assistance in navigating Mississippi’s criminal justice system. He was professional, knowledgeable, direct and communicative. He was extremely responsive and quickly brought the case to a reasonable resolution considering the circumstances. I would not hesitate to rehire him in the future. The word in the jailhouse is that he is the best lawyer in town. They should know!

I would highly recommend John McNeil as an attorney for anyone who needs a strong, reliable, intelligent and dependable defense attorney. As non-residents of the state, John helped us through a very difficult time. He was able to right a wrong, which has restored my faith in the judicial system. Words can’t express the amount of gratitude I have for his support, guidance and expert defense. Forever grateful for his service.
