William F. Neal

My main priority has always been to protect my clients at every turn. Whether that involves negotiating a settlement to achieve the most favorable outcome or engaging in tough litigation in court, I am there to offer steadfast support to my clients. My passion for practicing law stems from my love for solving complex problems and easing the burdens of my clients.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in law. Currently, my practice is centered around handling divorce cases that involve substantial estates, family-owned businesses, and intricate custody issues. I am particularly focused on shielding children from the complexities of the legal process. Additionally, I manage contested probate and complex estate litigation cases.

For me, the value of practicing family law becomes evident when a client tells me, “I feel so much better now. I’m not so scared anymore.” Alleviating someone’s fear and anxiety is a fundamental goal for any dedicated professional, and it is what drives me to secure the most favorable outcomes for my clients.

I understand that going through a divorce can be extremely challenging, and I aim to be a reliable support for my clients during such times. With over fifty years of experience, I have developed a keen understanding of what strategies are effective in family law cases. Together with my colleagues at North Texas Family Lawyers, we equip our clients with the necessary resources to embark on a new chapter in their lives.

Although I was born in Prairie Village, Kansas, I consider myself a Texan at heart, having moved to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University School of Law. During my time there, I was chosen to serve on the Southwestern Law Journal as its Research Editor and was among the first to work in the SMU Legal Clinic, providing free legal services to the local community. My background also includes being the quarterback for the University of Arizona football team.
