Amazing lawyer, great law firm

I cannot say enough good things about Harry Nelson and the Fenton Nelson legal group. We came to the firm to get an assessment of our project. Our previous lawyer had said "no" to some aspects of our project involving healthcare rules and requirements, but had no answers or suggestions for what we ...COULD do, which was going to kill the project. In contrast, Harry and his group offered creative solutions and did a great job of analyzing the options and presenting us with choices. He basically helped rescue a project that would otherwise likely have been headed for disaster or death. Trustworthy? Check. Incredibly trustworthy. Responsive? Check. Kept me informed? Check. Knowledgeable? Off the charts!

Highly recommended healthcare attorney

I cannot give high enough marks to Harry Nelson. After bad experiences with my previous lawyer, I was referred to Mr. Nelson for a healthcare law problem. He is very smart and knowledgeable about this complex area of law. I would not rely on anyone else for legal advice.

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.
