Tolu has been extremely helpful and professional and I appreciate her knowledge and quick responses to our business’ legal needs. She is always a breath of fresh air when it comes to clarity and information, and as I said before, QUICK!!!Unfortunately, it is challenging to find effictiveness and EFFI...CIENCY when dealing with companies, so THANK you for exuding both.

One for you

I'm speechless and thankful. I thought I was about to be railroaded by the system just cause. But thanks to Tolu my case of criminal mischief never got filed. I don't suggest anyone to get into trouble but if so I recommend Tolu Nelms as your best defense for your best justice.

Best Lawyer in Houston!!!

I contacted Attorney Nelms, to go over a contract for my new business partnership I was getting into. She was friendly and was extremely knowledgeable. She answered all my questions promptly and in depth! I highly recommend her!!

Couldn't have gotten a better lawyer!

Mrs. Nelms was very understanding and knowledgeable about my issue. She was direct and clear and I felt absolutely comfortable about the actions we were taking! She got me through a very tough situation and I am forever grateful!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
