This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Strong an knowledgeable legal firm.

JK Nelson Law has done a phenomenal job handling all My legal matters.To all the staff and attorneys at JK Nelson Law, thank you for your incredible hard work and dedication over the years. I have hired you for a variety of legal matters, including criminal cases, estate planning, civil suits, and fa...mily matters, and you have consistently done a phenomenal job. I know you handle a wide range of other legal issues, and I'm sure you do great work there as well. I especially want to commend Theresa Calabrese-Vance. She has worked with me side-by-side, taking my calls and providing quick answers and responses. Theresa is more than just a legal assistant; she is a truly dedicated and amazing person who goes the extra mile. Her hard work and extra hours have been a phenomenal help not only to me but to many others. I have no hesitation in recommending JK Nelson Law to my co-workers, friends, and family. Thank you all for your phenomenal work.

Great Choice

I needed a lawyer in Las Vegas area and I picked JKNelson Law to set up a revocable trust for me based on his profile and review on line. I wasn't dissapointed since his staff were very helpful and knowlegeable and got the job done in the time I expected.

Can't thank him enough.

I got rear ended by an uninsured motorist in a truck I'm making payments on. I would have had so many problems and no money to help resolve anything. Thanks to Jonathan and Lynne everything was resolved. Super happy with turn out

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

So helpful

This may not get approved because I haven't yet spoken directly to the attorney but when I called his office to ask a question his staff was insanely helpful (they asked him the question for me) and they went WAY above and beyond what was necessary for someone who wasn't yet ready actually hire an at...torney. So, again, while it's true that I haven't talked to him directly, it's my experience that attitude reflects leadership and his staff is awesome so odds seem to be in favor of him being pretty awesome too. After making several phone calls to several offices and doing a good deal of internet research, this was the ONLY office that stood out and made an effort. My choice is definitely made. I hope this review is approved...I think it's important to recognize that the staff is a very important part of the equation when choosing an attorney.

  • 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.
