Neil is the sole family law attorney named to the 2020 & 2021 Top 25 Sacramento Super Lawyers Lists.

"I wanted an attorney who would listen to my concerns, complaints, and even demands, but still keep me on the high road."

Neil is certified to arbitrate family law cases by the AAML. (August 2020)

Through peer-voting and editorial review, Neil is selected for inclusion in Northern California Super Lawyers and Sacramento Magazine’s Top Lawyers. (2017-2022)

“I am an attorney so I understand the service aspect very well. Neil was responsive and kept me well informed. He explained options as clearly as the law allows and made recommendations that resulted in a settlement without the expense of litigation."

With endorsements from judicial officers and opposing counsel, Neil was inducted into the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in 2019.

“I had a very difficult divorce case and my wife’s attorney did everything possible to fuel the flames. Neil was able to help me resolve many custody and support issues in a collaborative fashion to minimize the costs and obtain a quick resolution."

In 2019, the Placer County Bar Association honored Neil with its annual Pro Bono Award, for a decade of service to WEAVE.

In 2014, Neil received a Hero of Human Services Award from the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, recognizing his role as a chief architect of the redesigned WEAVE Legal services for survivors. 

“One of the things that really stands out is that Neil has retained a personal knowledge and interest in the case even years after trial.”

Neil holds the Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS) designation, awarded by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization in 2012.

“I appreciate Neil’s approach. He’s very calm-mannered, reasonable and tries to discuss the risks and benefits of different options.”
