Mr.
Cliff Nelson did a phenomenal job with my lawsuit against NYC. Though things initially did not look good for a positive outcome, he did not stop looking for the right angle to pursue and the result was a surprisingly generous settlement for my injury.

Excellent Lawyer
After my friend and I went through a very traumatizing time in our lives his mom found Mr. Nelson. He was very helpful from the beginning. Always stayed in touch with us and kept us in the loop. He fought for us and won us the case. He changed my friends life for the better. I’m super grateful to him...

Mr. Nelson did a great job and was always attentive
Mr. Nelson sued the City of New York on my behalf after I was beaten up by HRA Police Officers. He was always available to talk and help me with the issues my life and proceeded to get me a great result.

Clifford Samuel Nelson's Lawyer Endorsements
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Mr. Nelson is an excellent strategist whose attention to detail is second to none. He is a zealous advocate in civil matters against private defendants, and he has no fear when his opponents are any of the city agencies for which he has won multiple judgments against. I defer to Mr. Nelson when I have a question regarding civil procedure or entering a new form of litigation."
