Great Legal Consultant

Lawren Nelson consulted with me on a legal matter in which I was somewhat stuck between a rock and a hard place. He took the time to really hear me out and examine the issues that I was faced with. He provided the right guidance and did not disappoint in providing his sound legal expertise. What most... impressed me about Lawren was his ability to relate to me on a personal level, and this put me at ease while facing what seemed at the time like an almost insurmountable legal hurdle. I will not hesitate to recommend his legal services to whomever might require such, as well as whomever may come across this review! -KR

A Pleasure Working with Responsible Attorneys

A settlement aggreement had to be negotiated between myself and a major medical device company, whose artificial hip was defective and ultimately failed. I was referred to Mr. Nelson from an attorney friend and I can't express in words how happy I am from my experience. He negotiated a very fair sett...lement -- then, found a legal way to structure the Agreement where I was paid for "pain and suffering only" creating no tax liability. This proactive thinking saved me approximately $135,000 in taxes. Aside from all of that, Mr. Nelson is a really nice guy and will return calls from home, if necessary.

"The best complement I could ever give to this attorney is, that if I, my family, or friends were ever seriously injured and I believed someone was at fault, Lawren Nelson, Esquire is the first person I would call. He is an excellent, caring attorney, and that is why I say this. He is always prepared and has great knowledge in the injury fields of law, and that is why I always refer my matters to him. Not only is he legally talented, but, more importantly, he is, simply put, a very nice man. Mr. Nelson is great at what he does and I will always use him when needed."
