The most intelligent, friendly and down-to-Earth criminal defense

We came to Mr Brandon with a 3rd degree felony case. He sat down with us and listen to the whole story, taking down note as we speak. We went through question and answer session with him. He assessed our financial standing and design a very comfortable payment plan for us. That arrangement Immediate...ly solved one of our biggest problem: Affordability of experienced lawyer. We were impressed with his first day in court . He came early that morning and went straight inside , even before the courtroom officially open for the public. When we finaly entered the courtroom, we saw him going through our file and taken lengthy note and talking to the prosecutors. He looked so comfortable in the courtroom. That gave us lot of hope that he knows what he is doing. Throughout the course of the whole process, Mr. Brandon gave us a crash course in the Criminal Justice System of Texas and clearly explained to us all the possible outcomes of our case and how he plan to fight for us. After gathering all the necessary medical and other evidences, he gave us a clear picture of the case and vowed to fight with all the experiences he has gather all these years. The night before our last day in court, we spent the night in prayer and insomnia. Then came that moment in court when Mr. Brandon order me and my wife outside into the consultation room. We busted into tears and went down on our knees when he said: "THE CASE IS DESMISSED". He did exactly what he promised. Mr. Brandon is our Hero ans savior. We will forever be grateful for what he did for us. We thank him for his deligent and professionalism We thank him for his humility and friendliness We thank him for saving us from humiliation He is a true lawyer , lawyer of the people, a lawyer who understand that people in need should be help. He is extremely organized He clearly deserve more than twice of what we paid him. Deep down our heart we know he did this for his honor and for the joy it will bring to us. We thank you infinitely, the African community thanks you Mr Brandon. We hope that humanity produce more lawyer like you. May God bless you and your family.

Brandon Sims Review

I could not be more appreciative and thrilled with Mr. Brandon Sims. Through the whole process, he constantly kept me informed on what the procedures would be and what to expect. He was always very helpful and knowledgeable about what to expect in each court proceeding. And most importantly, he deliv...ered in the end. I would highly recommend him not only for his great knowledge concerning how to handle my case, but as well for the professionalism of him and the law firm Tad Nelson. Thank you so much!

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney

He is a very knowledgeable attorney who was very comfortable with handling my case and in the court setting. I was charged with a DWI in Galveston County and hired the Tad Nelson team to handle my case. Brandon was the attorney that I had the most contact with and who appeared at most of my court set...tings. The case lasted nearly a year to collect all the information that was needed prior to the conclusion. At the end, I was able to get a reduced charge of Obstruction of Highway. I was very pleased with the result of the case. Overall, I have a very positive review regarding the way Brandon handled my case. He has outstanding communication, kept me informed regarding every small change in my case. The whole team especially Brandon was very responsive to my needs and would respond to any inquiries I had regarding my case in a timely fashion. I could call or email Brandon and he would have a reply to my question within the hour at the latest and within a few minutes in most cases. He seemed very knowledgeable regarding the cases he was handling. He knew every detail regarding my case and with his previous experience as a prosecutor, he seemed very familiar with all of the legal aspects of my case. I was never hesitant regarding his knowledge base and his confidence uplifted me to have complete faith in his abilities. I always had trust in him to do what was in my best interest and never take an easy way around the case. He lobbied very hard on my behalf and I believe this is the reason I was able to receive the outcome that I had hoped for and intended would happen. Overall, I was very pleased with Brandon and his colleagues and would not recommend anyone else as any attorney retrospectively.
