Couldn't even defend someone on a traffic ticket let alone a criminal charge

Hired Gerald Nelson for a criminal case. Not a good attorney in any regard. Would not recommend him to anyone. Gerald couldn't even defend someone on a traffic ticket let alone a criminal charge! Lucky I got smart and fired him and hired a new attorney that actually worked to get the criminal charge ...reduced.

Terrible attorney

I had him represent me (if that’s what you want to call it) on a first offense DUI case. Let me put it to you straight he will do nothing but collect your retainer. He is a lazy plea bargainer and nothing more! He will put no time into your case whatsoever and will not even return a simple phone ca...ll.

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.
