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.

Thank you a million

I am blowing Jonathan up because his team got me a very quick turnaround on my case. I was happy with the outcome, costs, and the team as a whole

Posted by Preethi | August 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Out of the box solutions!

I currently filed a join petition for divorce in one of the county's in Nevada but got a letter from the county clerk for additional info on my kids. My current attorney had no clue on what needs to be done neither did he know such a rule or requirement existed. I reached out to Attorney Nelson based... on referral from my relative, his admin Darla was quick to act, she got us a consultation call with him the same day we called. Attorney Nelson patiently heard us out and reviewed the letter from the clerk, figured out there is unique rule that could be used to provide the supporting documentation asked for. I signed up with him for help, hopefully will complete the process soon. I am grateful and thankful for his advice and service to people.

Best Lawyer in Pahrump

These guys are great. When I went to do my divorce and child custody I interview 6 lawyers in Pahrump. I got consults from all of them, Jonathan was the only one of them that actually listened to my whole story, gave me all the time I needed to answer my questions an actually seemed to care what wa...s going on. They were also the only law firm that actually had a human answer the phone. Most of the firms didn't call me back for at least a day. Through the whole process they kept me informed answered questions and got back to me right away. MeChell who runs the front desk was as nice as nice could be and always got me answers and status updates along the whole way. My outcome was great i got what he said we would and I'm now using them for some other stuff and its going great too. Without a doubt I would recommend J.K Nelson Law, but don't take my word on it, call Mechell and get an appointment for a free consult from Jonathan and you can see for yourself.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
