Before starting Neeley Law Firm, Kenn owned a custom software development company. His experience with explaining complex technology to business executives helped him learn how to take a complicated process and explain it in an understandable way. He will do that for you in your legal matter.

Kenn is a die-hard entrepreneur and loves small businesses.

Kenn has an amazing wife and 5 awesome kids who keep him sharp with their debate skills.

Professionally, Kenn is most proud of his two published appellate wins for consumer debtors: In re. Gray, 523 B.R. 170 (9th Cir. BAP 2014) and In re. Neidorf, 534 B.R. 369 (9th Cir. BAP 2015).

Angie, Chapter 13 bankruptcy paralegal

Angie Daniel

Paralegal

Angie has worked in the bankruptcy field for almost 10 years and has honed her knowledge here at Neeley. She studied music at the University of Arizona before deciding to pivot into law. Angie stays in bankruptcy law because of how rewarding it feels to help our clients.

Before starting her career, Angie was lucky enough to stay home to raise two boys who are now teenagers.  In her free time, she likes to relax with her kids and husband of almost 20 years, read, and keep her many houseplants.

Jocelyn Rick

Paralegal

Jocelyn practiced as bankruptcy attorney in Utah for ten years, in private practice representing Debtors, and as the Senior Staff Attorney for the Chapter 13 Trustee.  She retired from the practice of law when she moved to Arizona and spent the following decade concentrating on her family.  Kids grown, finding too much time on her hands, and (strangely) missing bankruptcy law, she reached out to Neeley Law to see if they had room in their Chapter 13 department and has been working on post confirmation Chapter 13 cases since 2021.

Amber, bankruptcy client services director

Amber Ray

Client Services Director

Amber has been with Neeley Law since 2017, and her favorite part of her role is being able to utilize the skill 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, she’s either spending time with her girls, doing crosswords, or watching Star Trek reruns.
