My legal career has been devoted entirely to bankruptcy law, insolvency, and debt issues.  What fuels me is to help struggling individuals and businesses either (1) obtain a fresh start, (2) reorganize to increase chances of success, or (3) gain knowledge on how to achieve better financial success.. I also have a passion helping those who can't afford legal advice, so I also contribute a large portion of my time to local legal aid organizations and clinics that help assist lower-income earners and retired veterans.  In 2018, I was awarded the Pro Bono Attorney of the Year award for the over 30 clients I assisted through either direct representation or clinic advice that year.. Some of the clinics in which I've participated are the following: (For more information, see the following link: ?pg=UpcomingLegalClinicsforPublic). For any attorneys that view my page, I encourage each and every one of you to reach out to your local bar association and become as involved as your time allows.  There are many deserving clients in your local area that lack representation, and your time could help change a life.

John Neal is a different sort of lawyer.  Hard working; diverse; licensed since 1978, broad experience in state and federal courts.  John spent much of his youth with his grandfather, a small town sole practitioner who taught him the ethics and sense of fairness of Atticus Finch.  He was one of the youngest students ever admitted to the University of Tennessee, where he earned a Bachelors of Arts in English, and a J.D. He is an outdoorsman who understands the needs and problems of both businessmen and individuals, whether rich or poor.  Mr. Neal operates a small law firm in West Knoxville, but provides the same services you would expect to find in a much larger group. He frequently travels to other jurisdictions, and invites your inquires no matter where you live in the state of Tennessee. You’ll find Mr. Neal in a cowboy hat more often than a suit…..but you will quickly learn  that he is a dedicated advocate who will fight for every one of your rights.

I graduated with honors from the University of Tennessee College of Law in December 1996 and thereafter was granted a license to practice law in April 1997.  Since that time I have practiced in private law practice and in a corporate setting.. From 2007-2013, I served as an Assistant Law Examiner for the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners.  In that position, I wrote and graded essays for each bar exam, and I also assisted in reviewing applications for licensure for moral fitness to be a Tennessee licensed attorney.. During my time as an attorney, I have practiced largely in the areas of bankruptcy (Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13), business and commercial law, litigation, and civil rights.. My clients would tell you that I am personable, compassionate, zealous, intelligent, and loyal.  I give my clients straight-forward advice, and I always respond to their calls, e-mails and texts.  I am very technologically saavy.  I believe these qualities and attributes have led to my successes as an attorney.. Whether you are a business or an individual, I would love to help you out of your problems.
