  • I recommend Michael Nelson.
  • I hired Michael more than 3 years ago.
  • Michael handled my Insurance matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

Mike Nelson took what was, to me, a devastating and confusing situation and clarified it into something I could handle. He talked to me in order to find out what my needs were and made sure that I was comfortable before he took any actions. There were no under the table dealings. I was part of everthing that went on and he made sure I understood each step of the case before we proceeded. At the same time I knew that he was an expert in his field and felt comfortable leaving the details to him. It all turned out very well for everyone.
