Attorney McNelis and his staff will meet with you in private to discuss your needs.

People who have been hurt. People who have been wronged.

People who need someone to protect their rights.

Since 1982, McNelis has dedicated his practice to representing people throughout Greater Hazleton. He has helped many through difficult times and worked tirelessly to ensure that his clients’ rights are protected.

“From day one, I wanted to do all that I could to make sure that people who have been wronged receive justice,” McNelis said.
“It’s why I became a lawyer and why I still love doing my job today. I’m an advocate of the `everyday person,’ and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

In keeping with his passion for helping others, Atty. McNelis has built his practice around personal injury law, which allows him to serve his clients and protect their interests.

“Personal injury law is more than auto accidents and slip and fall claims,” explained McNelis. “It is an area of law that seeks to protect victims who have been harmed by the negligence of another person or entity. By concentrating my practice on personal injury law, I can ensure that my clients are receiving the fair and ethical treatment they deserve.”

Valerie Mazur knows first-hand about Atty. McNelis’ dedication. Valerie had been in a car accident in 1996 and another in 1999. Both personal injury claims had been dragging on with no resolution in sight.

“My case had been pending for more than three years, and I wasn’t satisfied,” Valerie said.

Out of frustration, she turned to the McNelis Law Offices.

“When Ned took over my case, he resolved it in 12 months and got me the settlement I deserved. Ned and his staff took care of everything for me. He assured me right from the beginning that things would be taken care of in a prompt fashion, and he did everything to my satisfaction. I was thrilled with him.”

“When Valerie called my office and explained her situation, I immediately had her schedule an appointment and come in and review the facts in her case,” McNelis said. “We took the time to go over everything and were able to put Valerie’s concerns at ease.”

While Valerie’s circumstances were unique, the results were not. Atty. McNelis treats every clients’ case with the utmost respect and professionalism you should expect from your attorney.

McNelis’ associates, Atty. Theodore Laputka and Atty. Stephen Rhoades, also share the same goal of working with people to find the best legal solutions in times of need. Experienced in family law, Attorneys Laputka and Rhoades have dedicated their practices to serving people ethically.

“Much like personal injury law, family law encompasses a number of specific topics. However, they all revolve around one important subject… people,” Laputka said. “Whether you are going through a divorce, child custody or preparing a last will and testament, it is a time when caring and understanding are just as necessary as knowledge of the law. It’s a time when you need an attorney who cares about you. That is why Atty. Rhoades and I practice family law.”

You can trust the attorneys and staff of the McNelis Law Offices to take your concerns seriously and treat you with the respect you deserve.
