Cleaning up a mess

Mrs. Nelson came in on the tail end of what should have been a open and shut case. After literally NO guidance from my previous attorney, I was about to simply throw in the towel and walk away. Mrs. Nelson met with me, and worked diligently to salvage what she could of my case and I was very pleased ...with her effort, and honesty about the situation. I would recommend her firm to anyone in need of solid representation.

Review on Chioma Nelson- Attorney

my lawyer helped me to prepare affidavit to report of my suspicion of my ex-wife defrauding me into marriage in order for her to circumvent immigration process and to secure her green card. she also helped me in the divorce process.

Best Attorney

I hired Ms. Nelson to assist me with child support and alimony issues after my divorce. She handled my case in a professional manner from the start. There was never a time that she was not there for me. My questions and concerns were always handled in a timely manner either by her or her office. She... fought hard for me through out my case, which did take considerable time. Over that time, I came to think of her as a friend, someone who truly had my back and not just my attorney. I have since recommended her to others in need of an excellent attorney. If the need ever arose in the future where I again needed legal representation, I would pick up the phone and know Ms. Nelson would step up and do an amazing job.

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.

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.
