Michael Vicente Castillo

I can’t say enough great things about Michael Castillo at J.K. Nelson Law. By far, he is one of the best attorneys I’ve ever encountered. Michael is extremely dedicated to his work, sharp, and full of energy — the kind of attorney you’d expect to see in a movie courtroom scene. He helped me on a c...riminal TPO matter and immediately picked up on the details of my case. His quick thinking, strong courtroom presence, and ability to create powerful statements on short notice were impressive. He’s also well-spoken, professional, and truly cares about his clients. I’ve used J.K. Nelson Law before and have always been impressed with their results. Their quality of work speaks for itself — sometimes price doesn’t matter when you’re getting this level of representation. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Michael and this firm represent me again in the future if needed. Thank you to Michael and the entire team at J.K. Nelson Law for their immaculate work. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a strong, smart, and reliable attorney.

Michael Castillo is a top-notch attorney who has the respect of the court. His knowledge of court rules and procedure, and years of experience provides for successful outcome. When he speaks, the judge listens. He is also very knowledgeable in appellate work and will go to the higher court for relief..., without hesitation. He has a brilliant mind and goes the extra mile. I highly recommend Michael. I consulted with 40 attorneys before deciding on Michael. His five star review does not come lightly. (I have filed bar complaints on several other attorneys).

I hired Michael to help me defend a domestic violence case. As I am not a US citizen and I travelled home right after the incident, I communicated with Michael via email and phone on a frequent basis. He was very responsive and always kept me well informed. His knowledge definitely helped me regain c...onfidence to fight for this case and eased concern for someone who is very far from USA. After a 3-hour-trial, we won the case and I think without Michael's commitment and knowledge, all these could not have been accomplished. I would highly recommend him to you for any criminal defense cases. He is always there for you and he is very eloquent and analytical, making you concern free!

My experience with LVDG left me feeling great. From the beginning, I felt like my relatively minor case was treated as if it were a very serious one. While hanging out at my house, I heard a strange knock at my door. The police informed me that I had been a very serious accident and that they kne...w it was me. I told them that I didn’t know what they were talking about. They told me a tow-truck was on its way to impound my car and I only needed to confess to take care of everything quickly. I continued to tell them that I didn’t know what they were talking about. This took about 3 hours and left me very shaken up. About 2 weeks later, I got a notice in the mail from LVMPD that I was the suspect in a hit and run investigation. This frightened me. How could the police accuse me of this? Are my rights being violated? What’s going on? I knew this was the time to consult a lawyer. I researched the Law Firm that I noticed represented police in previous cases, and that had former police officers on its staff. I knew that this sort of rapport with police would expedite my case, as they would be able to relate to the detective(s) investigating me on mutually understandable terms. Upon meeting with the first of three individuals involved on my case, David Kohlmeier, Case Manager immediately made me feel the full implications of my case. He let me know the potential progress and possible punishments of my case, the benefits of retaining the law firm to protect me, and the cost structure for all of it. Nothing was unclear. He made me feel confident that he knew what he was talking about. The next person I met with was In-House Private Investigator - William Simpson who personally investigated on my behalf and spoke to the detective on my behalf to figure out an appropriate time for me to go speak with him, as well as probing for information to give us a clearer understanding of what exactly I was being accused of. After that, I met with my lawyer, and the state completely dropped its case with no tickets or punishments issued whatsoever! Whew! Throughout the experience, all my phone calls were returned with expedience, and everything was explained thoroughly. The diverse backgrounds of the people involved on my case provided a plan that left me feeling like my rights were protected in the way that they should be. I felt like all I had to do was retain them as my legal counsel and let them do the rest. I was supposed to get a huge hit in more ways than one, but LVDG protected me. Thanks LVDG!

Mr. Young worked on my DUI case and I was extremely amazed with is analysis of my case and his ability to break down facts pertaining to the case. Mr. Young is extremely professional and excels in communication which is extremely important for clients such as myself who always want to know what’s goi...ng on. I must mention his punctuality for meetings and court cases. A lot of attorneys are quick headed and in my opinion don’t spend an adequate amount of time listening to their clients. Mr. Young not only listens, but it’s obvious he thinks about what you said prior to answering, rather than giving the quick answer without listening fully to your question, I was extremely amazed how personalized my service was. Mr. Young showed up 45 minutes before my case to discuss options which is something I rarely witness. As far as Nevada Laws goes, Mr. Young is up to date and has taught me a few things that I didn't know. I thought I researched everything pertaining to DUI laws, however, I was quite surprised and extremely impressed with the additional information that I have learned. If you're stuck in a DUI mess don't go at it alone.
