Why Choose Neale & Newman

Generations of Service to Our Southwest Missouri Neighbors

Our law firm has served the legal needs of businesses and individuals in Southwest Missouri since 1903. We understand the communities and most of us grew up here. We are entirely locally owned and directed. There is no “home office” we need to contact before representing you.

Comprehensive, Coordinated Representation Under One Roof

We provide comprehensive legal services for businesses, individuals and families. This means that our decades of experience in litigation inform our transactional work, and vice versa. It also means that clients benefit from collaboration among our litigators, business advisors, family law attorneys, and estate planners. The result is cost-effective, multifaceted representation for our clients, who can come to us for advice on almost any legal matter based on a full-picture understanding of their goals and needs.

The Best Blend of Experience and Up-to-Date Legal Tools

After over 100 years in practice, our firm has learned a thing or two about which types of innovations create game-changing cost savings — as well as when time-tested knowledge and methods serve you best. We pride ourselves on assisting our clients with a combination of deep experience and current technology, offering you the best of both.

    “They work so hard to ensure that every client gets the best possible outcome!”

    My husband and I both hired Kirsten Poppen to help with child custody/parenting plan issues. She was so amazing! She was so punctual, it was super frustrating when the opposing counsel would drag their feet and Kirsten was on top of it and always keeping us updated with every detail. In the past, I have also hired Judson Poppen, who also was a great attorney! They work so hard to ensure that every client gets the best possible outcome! Also, attorneys are not cheap, this is a fact but they were very reasonable and never overcharged for minor things. I have witnessed many attorneys drag their feet and charge insane amounts for nothing because it is all about making money. Kirsten and Judson actually care about their clients, they are not just there for a paycheck. It means so much when you know that the person representing you actually cares about you. HUGE Shout out to her paralegal Sherry! She was wonderful too! She is just an all around good person! They all are!
