Caley Meegan

Caley’s career in the field of bankruptcy law started while she was studying for her undergraduate degree at ASU. She began working at a large firm close to campus where she started as a receptionist but soon gained the skills and knowledge to become a paralegal. She has spent time working in family law and landlord-tenant law. However, bankruptcy is her preferred field of practice. She finds it rewarding to help people start anew.
She studied at both Arizona State University and Brigham Young University – Hawaii. She left one school with a double major in Justice Studies & Religious Studies and the other with a good tan! If BYU-H offered an undergraduate degree in surfing, she would have earned one of those too. She enjoys hiking, running and spending time with her son. She used to figure-skate competitively and still likes to drop by the rink every once in a while.

Amber Ray
Client Service Director
Amber feels blessed to have landed at the Neeley Law Firm where she is able to utilize the skills she is most proud of: understanding others, then using that understanding to help them where they need to go. She’s always had a passion for people – be it through helping clients while previously a personal shopper, or picking her friends’ and family members’ brains at home (INFJ, here, for all you MBTI folks out there). When She’s not working or spending time with her girls, you can typically find her on the floor with some paints, or out on a volleyball court (gotta stay balanced, right?)
