A Godsend

Mr. Nielsen resolved two cases on my behalf. The first case was against an employer who was violating break laws. Mr. Nielsen and his firm went far above and beyond than I was convinced that the case was worth. In the process of resolving this case over many months, they discovered that my employe...r had committed additional violations and I was owed much more. The second incident involved an auto accident. A semitruck had sideswiped my car, the resulting damage was beneath my policy's deductible; so my insurance closed the case, leaving me to both pay out of pocket and recover the costs of repair on my own. Mr. Nielsen expedited the process and recovered my expenses within weeks; whereas if I had not had Mr. Nielsen to represent me, the at-fault party's commercial insurance would have dragged their feet. I strongly recommend Mr. Nielsen. If you have any legal doubts or worries, then he can most certainly alleviate them.

Loss of Use Specialist

I was involved in a minor accident while driving my Ferrari. The car was in the shop forever and the insurance only wanted to pay me $100 a day. Mr. Nielsen informed me that most lawyers don't pursue this type of claim and most insurance companies refuse to acknowledge it even exists. Before Mr. Niel...sen got involved, the insurance company was offering me around $6k for the two months the car was in the shop. After he was done, the final settlement was more than 10 times their original offer. If somebody hits your nice car, talk to this man!

Helped me get testing accommodations!

I had trouble getting approved for accommodations for my learning disability. I had accommodations during school and for other major exams, but this one particular licensing exam denied my request and my appeal. Mr. Nielsen had a similar experience, and knew that I was getting wrongfully denied and i...n violation of ADA testing accommodation requirements. He put together an excellent demand letter citing violations of the ADA and tailored to my specific condition and needs. Thanks to Mr. Nielsen’s efforts, the exam committee immediately approved my accommodations without questions!

Made me rethink lawyers in general

I have been really lucky to have had the chance to hire Kaelan twice now. He made the case with my car accident smooth and less awful having to deal with what happened. Then again with my employment case as well. Kaelan is an all around solid and honest man who always gives updates as to what's goi...ng on in the process and makes himself always available to talk to about anything. I have had horrible experiences in the past with attorneys, but he has restored my faith that there are still lawyers out there that do this to genuinely help people navigate the troubled waters that is the legal system.

Dream Team

My partner & I were referred to Kaelan after enduring a horrific car accident with an underage driver. From the moment we first contacted him, he put us at ease. He was extremely thorough, answering our many questions and addressing all our concerns. He's extremely responsive and also has assistants ...that are also extremely responsive so at no point did we ever feel left in the dark. He referred us to the best team of doctors with treatment plans that really helped ease our pains over time. The process was as painless & expedient as possible considering, and our outcome was more favorable than expected. We highly regard Kaelan as an extremely effective lawyer and recommend him to those injured in an accident.

  • 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.
