One of Legally Mine’s three five-star Better Business Bureau reviews is signed “Karle M.” Daniel McNeff, listed there as its chief executive, is married to a woman named Karle.
The review says “I have no reason to believe the negative comments because of my experience.” It went up eight days after Legally Mine wrote, on the same profile, that a Florida business owner’s company “was mistakenly included in a dissolution request.” The bureau’s terms, as they now read, have every reviewer certify “I have no personal or business affiliation with this business” and send the reviewer’s contact information to the business. The review has been up for fifteen months.
PRIMARY SOURCELegally Mine’s Better Business Bureau profile, its reviews and its complaints, read October 4, 2026. The bureau’s review terms. 16 CFR 465.5.
CONFIRMEDthe review, its text and its date; three five-star reviews out of four; Daniel J. McNeff listed as chief executive; the Florida complaint and Legally Mine’s reply of June 16, 2025; that Daniel McNeff’s wife is named Karle, from Utah County’s marriage index as this site read it in July, and from her own public Facebook profile.
INFERENCEthat she wrote the review. The first name, the initial and the company match. Under the bureau’s terms as they now read, the reviewer’s contact information is sent to the business. This site does not have it.
The review
“I have been a client since 2016 and I am very pleased with the services that Legally Mine offers as well as their employees that have exceptional customer service skills. From set up to the recent threat of a lawsuit it has run seamlessly, so it breaks my heart to read the few negative reviews here. I have no reason to believe the negative comments because of my experience, as well as the over 200 plus Five Star views that out weigh the negative few.”
The page shows four reviews. Three are five-star and one is one-star, and the bureau displays the average as 4 out of 5. Without this one it is 3.67.
Who Karle is
The bureau lists Legally Mine’s management as “Mr. Daniel J. McNeff, CEO” and “Mr. Lindsey Thompson, President.” Daniel McNeff built the company, and his sons Ammon and Matthew run BAM (the McNeff family).
Utah County’s marriage index, as this site read it on July 19, listed Daniel Jay McNeff and Karle Murray, married in 2023. Her public Facebook profile uses the name “Karle Gleiforst-McNeff” and shows the two of them together.
A comment under that name answered a request for an estate attorney, in a community group, with two lines: “Legally Mine” and “Orem, Utah.” As Franchise Inspectors shows the comment, that is all of it. The franchise brokerage channel showed the review and then the comment on October 4 and asked whether one person wrote both.
Eight days
The review says “I have no reason to believe the negative comments because of my experience.” Eight days earlier, on the same profile, Legally Mine had written “we take full responsibility for the error.”
The profile reads “20 total complaints in the last 3 years,” under an A+ rating and an accreditation dated October 10, 2024. One came a month after the review, from a customer who reports paying $9,800 in March 2025 and then being told the company could not serve the customer’s state. Legally Mine answered: “We are still currently working with all of our Ohio clients to ensure they receive any refunds they are owed.” The Supreme Court of Ohio had enjoined Legally Mine and Daniel McNeff from the unauthorized practice of law there on February 20, 2025 (the Ohio file).
What a reviewer certifies
“I certify that this customer review: Is my genuine opinion of this business and that I have no personal or business affiliation with this business, and have not been offered and have not received any incentive or compensation originating from the business to write this review.”
The same terms say “BBB does not accept anonymous reviews” and “This Customer Review, along with my contact information, will also be sent to the business.” If those terms applied in June 2025, Legally Mine did not have to guess who Karle M. is.
Legally Mine has answered one of the four reviews in public, thanking a five-star reviewer. It has posted nothing under this one, which is still on the page fifteen months later.
The federal rule
Since October 2024 a Federal Trade Commission rule has barred “an officer or manager of a business” from writing an undisclosed review of it, and from asking “immediate relatives” for a review without having them disclose the relationship (16 CFR 465.5). Penalties run to $53,088 per violation (August 26). A relative who writes without being asked is outside the rule.
The fair reading, and its limit. A first name and an initial are not proof of who wrote a review, and nothing on the bureau’s page names the reviewer. The review speaks of “the few negative reviews here” and does not say which; the Florida complaint sits in the bureau’s complaint file, not among its reviews. If she wrote it, she may be what the review says, a client since 2016, seven years before she married the founder; being a client would not make “no personal or business affiliation” true of his wife, if the terms read in June 2025 as they do now. The federal rule does not reach a relative who writes unasked, and nobody has said anyone asked. The bureau’s terms are quoted as they read on October 4, and the bureau says reviews do not affect its letter grade. Nothing here is a finding of law. The right of reply is open to Legally Mine, to Daniel and Karle McNeff and to the bureau.
