The best in DC

I will recommend Mr. Garcia because he help my Child and I with Custory case in which we won and help me through the process of my property and assault in which we won all four cases that Mr. Garcia represented. I will recommend Mr. Nelson Garcia because he makes you feel like part of your own Family.... He worked really hard for us and help us win all of our cases. Don't look anywhere hired Mr. Garcia his the best in the metropolitan area.

Patient and Understanding Divorce Lawyer

Nelson ensured I got a fair and accurate settlement. He also took the time to help me understand the divorce process. It was my first time using a lawyer and I found him to be very patient and empathetic during such a difficult time in my life.

Top Notch Experience

Nelson Garcia exudes an ideal combination of professionalism, competency and empathy. Due to his clear, concise explanations I always left his office aware of exactly where I stood and what was coming down the pipe. Am excellent listener with a high level of emotional intelligence allowed for Nels...on to advise in my best interest according to the law as well as my comfort level. Phone calls and emails were always returned promptly. Meetings were meaningful and time sensitive. Tasks were carried out expeditiously. Nelson counseled and encouraged me through a difficult period and yielded excellent results.

A Fabulous ethical lawyer with Great courtroom skills

I am please to highly recommend Nelson A. Garcia to anyone who seeks a good lawyer to speak with integrity, truth, get to the facts of the case, and have a good understanding of the law in any jurisdiction. He was well-prepared for my case recently. He honed in on the facts of the case. He was honest... with me about any weaknesses in my case. And, he was ethical in the courtroom. I can't say enough about the credentials of Nelson A. Garcia--he is a VERY good lawyer. If you want a highly trained and skilled lawyer, with integrity who will shoot it straight with you, I recommend you retain Nelson A. Garcia as your lawyer. Now, don't be worried if when interviewing you about the case, he ask you the same questions over and over, he's just getting his thoughts together, because as you'll see, his preparation is second-to-none when it comes to defending his client for a favorable judgement in your case.

Mr. Garcia is the MAN!!!!

Yes Divorce is stressful and this experience has been the hardest situation I've ever dealt with in my life. But thanks to this man Mr. Nelson Garcia I understood what I had to face. He tells you the truth and doesn't sugar coat anything. He was on top of everything in the case even making the plaint...iff's lawyer look totally clueless in court. Mr. Garcia came up with creative solutions that instantly WON the case for me. Thanks to Mr. Garcia I did not have to give my Ex-husband a dime, Mr. Garcia proved that what belonged to me was mines and only mine. I highly recommend this amazing Lawyer to anyone because he gets the job done and wins!!!!
