Top notch!!!

Gerry has been a blessing to me for the past 25 years. I met him at age 13 as he was retained by my parent. Later in life he became my husbands and I’s attorney and has done an impeccable job. He is our families life line when matters calls for an attorney. He is full of knowledge, wisdom, and gives ...great legal advice. Professional but also down to earth.

Posted by DOROTHY | December 19, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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.

Amazing attorney!

I am currently working on a name change for my daughter and have filed for sole legal and physical custody Gerald Nelson has been very informative and empathetic. He has already helped me out a lot and our first court date is held in September. Gerald also called me immediately after he had submitted... papers to the courthouse!

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.
