Reed Nelson Review

I live in Millstadt, IL and hired Reed Nelson to handle a legal matter in Crawford County, MO. Reed and the entire team were fantastic to work with and communicated my options. Reed got me a great resolution quickly and exceeded all of my expectations. The entire team were professional. I would h...ighly recommend Reed & the entire Nelson & Nelson firm.

Amazing service!

Reed Nelson was life changing when I got in contact with him. When I reached out to Nelson & Nelson I was on the verge of having to pay my previous employer over $1000 but thanks to reed Nelson and his skilled team I was able to win the case with over a $30,000 settlement.

Professional representation at its finest

Reed represented me in a legal matter in St. Clair County, IL. I can provide a greater recommendation than to say that I personally would not hesitate to have Reed represent me again. He expressed concern for my personal well being and provided me with an outcome that exceeded my expectations. You... will be happy with a decision to have Reed in your corner.

Reed from Nelson & nelson

I live in west Frankfort Illinois and I was a career coal miner! I hire reed Nelson to represent me on a legal issue against my employer. Reed Nelson was compassionate and very skilled! Trust has always been the hardest thing for me to overcome with attorneys however, I never had any trust issues wit...h reed Nelson. I never once felt like I couldn’t trust my attorney reed Nelson. He treated me with the up most respect. We settled our case against the coal mine and I couldn’t imagine any other attorney doing a better job on my case! I would recommend reed Nelson to anyone that needs the best representation you can get!

Amazing Law Firm

Reed Nelson is a wonderful man and lawyer. When I was injured on my Motorcycle I felt hopeless. I felt lost with no idea where to go or who to speak to. Reed made it a point to make me feel at ease and secure with my decision to hire him as my Attorney. I will be forever grateful for the amazing work... and time he put into my accident.
