Would highly recommend!

Attorney Nelson was recommended to me by my best friend. I recently consulted with him regarding my options/rights in a possible divorce case. He listened and was very thorough in explaining the details, preparing me as to what to expect. He also didn't charge an arm and a leg for the information! He... was very reasonable in price! I definitely plan to retain him if/when my situation calls for the need of a good attorney! Thank you Mr. Nelson!

Amazing attorney

Gerald Nelson has been my attorney for years and helped helped me out multiple times with custody and child support issues. He genuinely cares about his clients and I would highly recommend him.

Wasn't up on his game..

We hired him for a child custody case. All went well in the beginning then he was out with covid for a few weeks right before our hearing. Instead of postponing til he could be on top of his game he consulted with my son just 2 days before the hearing. We had no idea they retained a lawyer and a few ...other things. He should have postponed then. 2 days later he went to court and advised my son to take a deal that will hurt my grandaughters well being. Instead of starting off visits slowly IN OUR STATE the lawyers deal was short sighted and can cause long term damage mentally and or physically to my grandaughter. My grandaughter needs her mother but only if she got the help she needed. The lawyer talked a big game before court of things he would do to keep my grandaughters saftey in check but failed miserably.

Wonderful Lawyer

I found Jerry by accident. I was being represented by another lawyer and Jerry showed up. He listens, he is caring he did very well for me with my divorce sixteen years ago. I recently went to him again and he is as polite and caring as he was sixteen years ago. He went above and beyond for me. T...hank you Jerry for being there for me when I needed you. I can not ask for a better lawyer. I hired Jerry to be my lawyer for my divorce and for doing my will. He has always worked with me with money being a single mother of two boys. If you are really looking for a good caring lawyer, call Jerry.
