Excellent lawyer!

I would like to say how impressed I am with the excellent level of service and professionalism I received when I recently retained Brian Nelson for legal assistance regarding my elderly mother. He was extremely knowledgeable, his communication was second to none, he was quick and thorough to resolv...e my legal matter and provided me with sound advice that put my mind at ease. I can't thank him enough for his guidance and compassion through a difficult time. I highly recommend Brian to all, you will not be disappointed.

Superb Attorney

Brian Nelson is a superb attorney. I hired Brian to help my family through an extremely complex and stressful estate matter. I happen to be an attorney myself, so had a high bar for Brian to meet, which he far exceeded. His legal skills and knowledge are exceptional and he is kind and a pleasure t...o work with. I really cannot thank him enough for his hard work and give him my highest recommendation.

Excellent Experience with this Lawyer

Brian was highly recommended to me by a trusted friend, and I must say, I was not disappointed. I asked Brian to review my estate planning documents and offer suggestions to address any shortcomings or to suggest better ways to posture my estate to make it easier for my heirs to liquidate it after I... pass. Brian was very professional and thorough. He reviewed my documents, asked numerous questions about how my accounts and assets were titled, and offered suggestions on how to tighten up my estate. He explained the positives and negatives of following different strategies and gave me his professional opinion on how he thought I should proceed. I was very happy with the quality of service he provided and was impressed with his breadth of knowledge. I would highly recommend him.

Highly Recommend

We sought legal representation to resolve a deeply challenging matter involving a family trust. Brian bravely accepted our case and consulted with us for hours on end; he exhibited unremarkable empathy, a vast amount of legal knowledge and the ability to explain the complexity of the legal system in ...a simple way. We had multiple family members affected in various states and he followed up with each of us with patience and the utmost kindness. He responded quickly and fully to every correspondence and kept us informed each step of the way. A truly knowledgeable attorney we could not recommend highly enough.

Forever Grateful

Brian helped our family out when my father passed in Nevada all others made me feel more then uncomfortable about my dads situation nobody seemed to listen, Brian listened and knew what wasn’t necessary and what was. He spoke human and his fees certainly made believers out of us there are still good ...in people out there. Should you find yourself in need of a probate attorney give him a call. My wife and I will be forever grateful. His getting “right on it” so we could get up and go!
