This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Work Ethic

Kurt was as dedicated to this transaction as if he was buying it himself. I am grateful for the speedy responses to emails (sometimes received way after I assumed he was done for the day). His professionalism and patience through the process made for a more comfortable experience.

Great for Estate Settlements!

When both of our parents passed away, we asked Kurt to help us to settle the estate. He was GREAT! He was sensitive and so helpful and kind during this tough time for our family. Since there are 6 siblings, it was difficult at times, but he tackled every single issue we had. We all felt we were in g...ood hands with Kurt. He was so knowledgeable as to what needed done and kept us informed every step of the way. Even to this day, he is quick to respond to whatever questions we still have. We highly recommend Kurt!

Amazingly Stress-Free Real Estate Closing

I was trying to sell my house & a realtor referred me to Attorney Nilson. He explained everything I needed to do & walked me through the entire process step by step. I am living in Florida, selling my house in Johnstown to a family in New York & it was a very stress - free process. I did not have... to make a trip in to complete the sale; he handled everything for me working with the buyer's attorney to make sure all the proper paperwork was completed. He was extremely helpful & very down to earth. He took the time to explain anything I had questions about. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

A really solid and positive experience

Kurt was awesome! Really straightforward and personable, seemed to know his trade well and took the time to explain all of the little things that I otherwise would have likely missed. Having him walk me through my closing gave me extra peace of mind and confidence that potential issues were investiga...ted and resolved and that he would be there for me if I needed after the sale was complete.

Up front, Honest, and Thorough

Kurt has a very good handle on real estate. In my case it involved the issue of title searching and tax sales. Kurt knows by first hand experience what is involved at a tax sale, the kinds of tax sales, and what expenses could be incurred if moving forward on a piece of real estate. Invaluable knowl...edge and advice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
