Jaclyn Taylor Nelson

Jaclyn has a strong grasp of the law, strategy, optics and the emotional impact of each case. Jaclyn listens carefully to her clients and understands how to present the narrative in court and to opposing counsel. She is a tenacious fighter who will advocate deftly for her clients. She also has in dep...th knowledge of the workings of Dependency court and DCFS and how to fight for her clients effectively within that framework. We were very impressed with her creativity and analytical thinking while representing us. We feel fortunate to have found her in time to help us and recommend her highly to anyone seeking representation against DCFS.

I haven't worked with lawyers often and when I have I’ve been lucky more times than not in finding the right representation. Jaclyn was one of those lucky times. I was referred to Jaclyn and her partner Angela by another attorney because they specialized in cases such as mine. I worked primarily with... Jaclyn and found her to be not only extraordinarily skillful and knowledgeable, but also sensitive and caring. She made herself available whenever I need her. She listened as I explained the case, understood me and paid attention to details, some that later turned out to be quite pertinent even when I had almost forgotten them myself. Other times as I was about to bring something up, she was a step ahead of me and addressed the issue before I could raise it. Out of court or in front of the judge, I felt I was in good hands knowing I was represented by one of the best in town. A sense of trust developed that made the whole ordeal of the case seem much less overwhelming and stressful. Throughout the case she made me and my son feel confident and after its conclusion relieved. I cannot recommend Jaclyn enough to match my gratitude. But I will continue to try whenever asked or if I hear of anyone needing a referral. Thank you Jaclyn!

I was referred to Ms. Nelson by another attorney. She was incredible from the first phone call. I most appreciated her professionalism, her intelligence, her responsiveness, and the fact that she had relationships with others in the court and the system that allowed her to provide knowledge and bac...kground, and, ultimately, advice that was precise and informed. She always returned phone calls and texts with alacrity. Attorney Nelson, when in court, exuded confidence and intelligence; I was always incredibly thankful that I had found her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

This is just a consult review. Overall, Jacklyn had been responsive. She listened to the situation and let us know she’d be handling the case. Some of these reviews are concerning me as we have decided to move forward with services. I will provide a final response once the case is over. Seems promisi...ng and genuine so far.

“I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Jaclyn fought hard for me. She went above and b...eyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Thanks!!!”
