Hire this lawyer!
We hired him to help us with a lawsuit from a credit card company that turned out to not be valid. John Nelson is knowledgeable about exactly what our rights were and he knew how to handle it. He is great to work with as well. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend that yo...

Collection Debt Dismissed with Prejudice
I contacted Nelson Law Chambers because I was dealing with a very spiteful collections agency. John was very professional and thorough. His in-depth knowledge of the law and how it relates to my case resulted in my case being dismissed with prejudice without me having to ever set foot in a court-room...

Satisfied client
I contacted Mr. Nelson about a credit card debt that had gone to collections. The collection agency was over zealous in attempting to collect the debt. Mr. Nelson contacted the agency and was able to negotiate a settlement payment from them. He also negotiated a full release with the company holding ...

Handled Bad Debt Collection with Ease!
I engaged John on a bad debt issue where a collection company filed a claim against me in court and then refused any attempt to resolve the claim other than payment in full. John was prompt and courteous in his discussions with me and kept me in the loop throughout the process. He had the claim com...
John William Nelson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have spoken with John over the years many times and recently had the pleasure of working a case together (which we got a great result for our client). John is both a fantastic attorney and a down to earth easy to talk to person. I will continue to recommend him to anyone in his area."
"I unreservedly recommend Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson fights tirelessly for his clients, who are often disadvantaged and victimized."
"John is highly skilled in consumer protection and debt settlement. In my divorce cases, I oftentimes find clients who are in difficult financial straits. I send every one of them to John when they need help. I am happy to endorse John Nelson."
"John is a brilliant attorney who serves consumers in Georgia well."
"John is one of the best, if not the best, consumer protection litigators I know. Anytime I have a question or need help on a matter, he is the guy I call."
"John was my law clerk before he was an attorney, and I was incredibly impressed with his work ethic. After law school, I was John's mentor. I was particularly impressed at how his questions always centered around his clients and what was in his clients' best interests. John has a real passion for law and for helping people in need. When he takes on a case, his client can be assured that he will be passionate about his representation. Any person seeking an attorney would do well to hire John."
"I've known John for a long time, and strongly endorse him. Anytime a client has a debt collection issue (which is more often than you might expect), I send them his way. They've all given really positive feedback about John."
"John is well-versed in and passionate about consumer protection. He is always pushing hard for his clients' interests, and is a useful asset to others in the field."
"I worked as Mr. Nelson's associate attorney for over one year and there is not enough glowing remarks I can make on Mr. Nelson's behalf. First and foremost, Mr. Nelson is a professional and works tirelessly for his clients to ensure they get the best results possible. Second, Mr. Nelson is a people person and is a compassionate advocate for his clients. Third, Mr. Nelson loves talking to his clients and providing not only top notch legal services but also counsels his clients because he truly cares. Fourth, Mr. Nelson is a ruthless, dogged attorney whose name and reputation among debt collection lawyers is one to be taken seriously. Finally, Mr. Nelson loves his work. He is one of if not the smartest lawyers I have ever had the privilege to work under and the lessons he bestowed upon me are ones I intend to carry forward for the remainder of my legal profession. So, if you want an advocate who will ignore you or treat you with disrespect, Mr. Nelson is not the lawyer for you."
"John is one of the most tenacious lawyers I know. He is hard-working, highly intelligent, and dogged in his pursuit of getting the right results for his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend John to any of my friends or family as I know he will do a great job."
"John is one of the most talented and brilliant lawyers in his field who brings the benefits of energy, enthusiasm and experience in zealous representation of his clients. John is our "go to" guy for all debt settlement and business litigation issues."
"I have worked with John on quite a few cases and I found him to be hard working, compassionate, and a true advocate for his clients. Not only is he a good lawyer, but he is a good person who will fight for his clients."
"John has all three of the qualities I most admire in attorneys; curiosity, enthusiasm and tenacity. We both practice in the general area of defending debt collection and consumer protection and I am often impressed in our conversations with his grasp of the issues and the knowledge he has acquired regarding the collection industry and the motives and practices of debt collectors. Attorneys cannot guarantee the outcome of lawsuits, but they can guarantee the quality of the work to be performed. You are in good hands with John."
"John is an energetic defender and advocate who has great curiosity. He is thorough and likes to learn everything about a topic in order to be prepared for whatever the other side throws at him. He has the brains and inquisitive nature necessary to practice in intellectual property. He has the competitive spirit necessary to win at trial. He loves to laugh, so working with him is a pleasure."
"I worked with John on several litigation matters, general local government representation and debt collection defense. John is an exceptional transactions attorney and a tenacious litigator. The combination of these skills makes him the ideal counsel for local and international businesses. John is passionate about the law and devoted to achieving the best results for his clients. His character and ethics are superior. I enjoyed working with John and endorse him for his expertise in Business, Litigation, and Debt Settlement."
"John is a fine advocate for each and every client. He has a working knowledge of the law and a thirst for cutting edge expertise in every case he is working on. He is a tireless fighter and is well respected by his colleagues and his opposing counsel."
"From my years of having known John since law school, I can say that I have been consistently impressed with his drive not to only remain up to date with complex changes in laws, but to also disseminate knowledge to the public through his publications. I would definitely recommend John to friends and family."
