Attorney Kris Nevels

I reached out to Attorney Kris Nevels about a case involving my adult son, and Mr. Nevels called me the very same day. After consulting with Attorney Nevels, I hired him to represent my son with this case because I knew right away that he knew the case law and he knew options that were at my son’s d...isposal. I had already talked to two other attorneys who were not as thorough and had not given me that vital information. Mr. Nevels then met with my son, He got the necessary details of the case and assured my son that he could help him and that he would do so at a fair price. Not only did Attorney Nevels give my son the legal advice that he needed, but he also gave him some fatherly wisdom to put him at ease and to reinforce things that I had already told him. Mr. Nevels then told my son about a program that he could willingly enter into (rather than go to trial) and have the charges dismissed and expunged from his record immediately and avoid any fines and court costs as long as he completed the program. He then put my son in touch with the person who would help him to enter into this program. My son is in that program now and is fulfilling the requirements of the program. Again, the other two attorneys that I spoke with completely failed to even mention this program as an option. Attorney Nevels and this program official did appear in court with my son for his initial appearance to let the Judge know that this program would be the game plan for my son. The Judge agreed with Attorney Nevels and permitted them to proceed in this manner rather than taking the case to trial. If the case had gone to trial, I have total confidence that Attorney Nevels would have represented my son well and that his case would have still worked out in a favorable manner for my son. However, because of Mr. Nevels’ legal expertise, he was able to avoid trial and actually help my son to get the help that he needed. That’s a WIN-WIN! In sum, it is without hesitation or reservation that I would again hire Attorney Kris Nevels for any future legal representation that he is qualified to handle. Further, it is without reservation that I would highly recommend Attorney Kris Nevels to anyone else who might ask me about hiring an attorney for legal representation. Thank You and God Bless You, Mr. Nevels!

Wise with style

Chris was very helpful with my case. I can walk into court with better confidence with him by my side. He has some great advice and insights. Just a wonderful gentleman, glad I hired him for my case. Thank you so very much Chris!

Highly recommend !

I’m a 19 yr old college student that was hit head on resulting in my car being totaled, severe body pain, bruising & anxiety. The last thing I wanted to do was converse back & forth with insurance companies & stressing about hospital bills. Kris is no stranger to me. He displays empathy & makes it e...asy to focus on getting back healthy while fighting for what’s deserved. He’s handled personal injury cases for family & friends. He handled everything & kept me updated. I never had to worry if I’d hear from him. He called me before I could call him. I’ll recommend Kris Nevels all the time!

BEST PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER IN THE AREA!

Attorney Kris Nevels was highly recommended after my car accident and I now understand why. He is the BEST personal injury attorney I have ever worked with. At our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always quick to respond to my questions. I app...reciated he took time from his busy schedule to check in on me and kept be informed every step of the claim process. Nevels is knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, patient and his fees are fair. If you are seeking a personal injury, I, too recommend Attorney Kris Nevels for legal representation

Great council to have at your side!

Kris represented me on two different occasions. One was a criminal defense case, and the other a custody battle. I can say that on both counts he knocked it out of the park. He was very diligent in fighting for me, and resolved each issue fairly, and justly.
