Butler Moss O’Neal, PLC

Worked with Pagliaro on a custody case. She was focused mostly on settling out of court. I do not believe she was ready for court to begin with. By the time I started to question her competency it was too late in the game.
She was not open with me and argued mostly with me during a settlement agreement in order to get it done and move on. She did not fight for me at all. She also provided my financial information to the opposing attorney when it was not needed. The opposing council submitted incomplete interrogatories and provided outdated evidence that was not allowed. Pagliaro accepted this from the opposing attorney. I told her that they need to be held to the same standards as I am. Her response "the judge will see past that".
I have made some poor decisions under her direction.
Unprofessional behavior, poor representation, little communication, she would give advice and then she would get angry with me for taking it. Then deny giving it to begin with.
She also has a tendency make technical mistakes.
She makes the impression of someone who would stand her ground and someone who is will stand up for you. But in reality, she is all bark not no bite.
Learn from my mistake, look somewhere else.

I am writing this to share my first-hand observations of Nicole O'Neal (Butler Moss O'Neal) from the perspective of a spouse helping navigate a custody case. Based on my experience watching her in the courtroom, she employs an incredibly aggressive approach that families should be aware of.

Courtroom Conduct:
During the proceedings, I personally witnessed Ms. O'Neal repeatedly attempt to discredit my wife by claiming her name was incorrect on almost every document. In my opinion, this appeared to be a transparent attempt to mislead the court and distract from the actual merits of the case rather than focusing on the facts

I agree with Melissa V. Little effort for defense, seemed subordinate to the prosecutor, charged an insane amount of money for little effort. You want a surgeon with decades of experience or one just out of medical school? When it comes to your life, experience is second to nothing is what I learned from my experience with Mr. Good. Yelp should option zero or negative stars!
