PRIMARY SOURCEthe affidavit Daniel McNeff filed with the Supreme Court of Ohio, and the Utah notary registry
To prove he had obeyed the Supreme Court of Ohio, Daniel McNeff filed a sworn affidavit on the court’s public docket in March 2025. It is a short document, filed for a narrow purpose, and it carries more than it was filed to carry. In it he swears, in writing, that he is the owner of Legally Mine. It is signed by the company’s installed president. And its oath is administered by the same notary, employed by Legally Mine, who notarized the deeds that moved the McNeff family homes into limited liability companies, the deeds this site already documents on The shells. The notary who authenticated the houses authenticated the promise to the court.
In 2025 the Supreme Court of Ohio adopted a consent decree finding that Legally Mine and Daniel McNeff had engaged in the unauthorized practice of law in Ohio, and ordered them to send a written notice to every Ohio customer. The notice had to tell each customer that “an Ohio licensed attorney was not involved in the preparation or review” of the asset-protection plan they had bought, and to offer them one of two things: a review of their documents by an Ohio attorney “at Respondent’s expense,” or “a termination of Respondent’s services and a full refund of all payments.” To show it had complied, Legally Mine had to file an affidavit. That affidavit, the Notice of Filing of Affidavit of Daniel McNeff, was entered on the court’s public docket in Case 2025-0037 on March 21, 2025.
Its first substantive line is an admission the company has spent years arranging its paperwork to avoid making. “I am the Owner of Legally Mine, LLC,” McNeff swears, and “I am personally responsible for Respondents’ compliance” with the court’s order. He signed it under penalty of perjury on March 18, 2025, fourteen months before the Legally Mine brand moved to a company controlled by Mark Comer, the transfer this site walks through in the July 30 post. On the date he swore it, the owner of Legally Mine was Daniel McNeff, in his own words.
The oath is administered, and the signature witnessed, by a notary public: Scott Anderson, commission number 727034, of the State of Utah. The Utah Lieutenant Governor’s office keeps a public registry of every commissioned notary in the state. It returns exactly one Scott Anderson. His business of record is listed, in the state’s own field, as “Legally Mine, LLC,” at 1337 East 750 North in Orem, the address that is also Legally Mine’s headquarters and its registered agent. His commission runs from October 3, 2022 to October 3, 2026, the same expiration printed on the seal in the affidavit.
This site has documented a Scott Anderson before. On The shells, he is the notary, employed at the same 1337 East 750 North address, whose seal appears on the quitclaim deeds that moved the McNeff family homes out of the family’s names and into limited liability companies. That was a different commission number. Utah, alone among the tools here, explains the gap in its own words: the state “does not have a provision for notaries public to renew.” A notary whose term ends does not renew it; he reapplies and is issued a new number. The registry shows the result of that reapplication: the same name, the same employer, the same Orem address, a new commission running to 2026. The notary who witnessed the family’s houses being moved is the notary who witnessed the family’s promise to the court that it had told its customers the truth.
The exemplar of the customer notice, attached to the affidavit, is signed by someone other than McNeff. It is signed “Lindsey Thompson, President of Legally Mine LLC,” and it directs any customer’s reply to her, at the same 1337 East 750 North address. A company can have an owner who swears he is the owner and a president who signs its mail; there is nothing unusual in that by itself. It is worth writing down only because the same document that carries the owner’s oath carries the president’s signature, on the same day, over the same address, notarized by the same house notary.
The affidavit’s exhibit is a list of the Ohio customers who received the court-ordered notice, with the certified-mail receipts. This site does not publish that list. The customers are the people the program was sold to, not the subject of this reporting, and their names and home addresses are their own. What the list shows, in the aggregate, is exactly what the Ohio Supreme Court’s board found when it described who Legally Mine sells to: the company, the board wrote, “predominantly advertises its services to medical professionals, including but not limited to doctors and dentists.” The Ohio customers who received the notice are, in the clear majority, licensed physicians and dentists, each verifiable in the federal government’s public provider registry, and they cluster in the specialties that carry the heaviest exposure to lawsuits: surgery, obstetrics, anesthesiology, pain medicine, dentistry. In its own marketing, quoted in the same decision, Legally Mine states its goal is “to eliminate the fear of lawsuits, frivolous or otherwise, for every medical and dental practitioner (and business owner) in the U.S.” A program sold on the fear of being sued had found the professionals with the most to fear. The court called it a demographic. The list gives it a shape.
The fair counterpoint. Nothing here accuses Scott Anderson of any wrongdoing, and this site does not. Employing an in-house notary is lawful and ordinary, and a notary’s duty is to witness a signature, not to vouch for what the document says; that the same notary appears on the deeds and on the affidavit is a fact about who works at 1337 East 750 North, not a finding about either instrument. Owning a company and swearing you own it is lawful; having a president sign your mail is lawful; being a customer of Legally Mine is not wrongdoing, which is why not one of the customers is named here. The consent decree was a settlement, and its finding of the unauthorized practice of law is the court’s, reproduced as written. Whether the customers who received the notice chose the attorney review or the refund, and whether Legally Mine in fact paid the refunds it offered, is not on the public docket; the affidavit proves the notices were sent, not that the remedies were honored. Every quotation above is reproduced as written in the affidavit, the registry, or the court’s decision. Nothing here is a finding of law, and every person named is presumed to have acted lawfully.
