 After graduating from law school, Mr. McNeer entered private practice working in general litigation.  From 2003 to 2005, Mr. McNeer worked for Williams & Lynch specializing in insurance defense and workers compensation.  Representing various insurance companies, Mr. McNeer traveled all over the state often trying several cases a month.
