French Lick Casino (Arbitration)

When a dispute arose between the developers of the French Lick Casino, a three man arbitration panel was agreed upon. The panel consisted of Mr. McNeely, Judge William Web- ster (former 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge, Director of the FBI and Director of the CIA) and Kenneth Feinberg (the mediator who supervised the distribution of proceeds to the families of the victims of 9/11)

Civil Litigation (Dram Shop)

When an individual was sued for providing alcoholic beverages to a minor, which resulted in an automobile accident and the death of three passengers in an oncoming vehicle, the ques- tion of the reach of the Dram Shop Act in Indiana was an issue. This landmark case has influ- enced Dram Shop litigation in Indiana for over 30 years.

Civil Litigation (Tire Failure)

When a tire failure resulted in the death of a West Coast couple, their two children were left parentless. Despite an initial assessment that the age of the tire prevented the prosecution of a successful wrongful death action against the manufacturer, six months of relentless investi- gation and research led Mr. McNeely to the conclusion that the original assessment was incorrect.

After assembling his team of experts, visiting the site of the tire manufacturing facility, and analyzing boxes of documents and records, a case was assembled supporting the recovery of a multi-million dollar settlement. Key to the settlement was an animated presentation, which incorporated state of the art visuals recently developed at Georgia Tech University. This tech- nology clearly demonstrated the range of defects in the tires, and coordinated those with documents from the manufacturer, in such a fashion that the jury would easily understand the causal relationship between the defective manufacturing process and the tire blow-out. This technology has since been incorporated by other attorneys throughout the nation, with similar results
