Intelligent and Wonderful

Laura is a great attorney! We were in a car accident and when we hired Laura it became easier to handle, she gave clear direction and fought for our case. This kind of situation can be very overwhelming and Laura answered each question clearly, - sometimes I needed to ask the same question several ...times, (accidents can be very jumbling). Laura was always very kind and courteous to us and kept us updated along the way. Our chosen method of communication was email, and she always got right back to us. Just the process of choosing an attorney can be difficult, all the commercials and full page adds. We chose Laura because of her reviews, and being local, and am glad we did. We highly recommend Laura

Trust documents

She was very thorough, and took the time to listen so when the process was complete you felt the sincerity of the process. Making a trust & will for me a realization of keeping it as simple an painless for my daughter when I do step over to the next space in life. The first step was difficult becaus...e it was a reality. Her compassion made it the procedure as kind and gentle as I think it could be. I would highly recommend Laura.

Laura Rose Nelson

This letter is written to strongly recommend Laura Rose Nelson in her capacity attorney at law, in particular as it relates to estate planning and trusts. We engaged Laura to review our individual trusts with the objectives of combining the two trusts into one as well as to update any other relevant... materials relating to health directives, wills, etc. She listened carefully to all off our concerns/wishes, answered our questions simply and completely. Ultimately, all of the documents created as a result were organized into one comprehensive notebook that is clearly understandable, with all the legal aspects fully and completely addressed. Laura’s expertise in the law is, without question, outstanding. The resultant product was detailed and thoroughly researched which gave us total confidence in her work. However, it is her manner of relating with us that gave us complete comfort in terms of the final result. She listened, asked questions when needed to clarify our wishes, offered suggestions and thoroughly reviewed everything she produced with us. She provided us with a warm, positive experience, not something one always associates with this topic. Her warmth, intelligence and knowledge, sensitivity, and organization are just a few of the qualities that make her a great attorney and advocate. We look forward to a long relationship with Laura. She is a star!!!

Lawyer to Hire. Exceptional Service A+++++

Ms. Nelson is an exceptional lawyer who takes pride and concern in her job and with her client. During my time with her I felt comfortable and secure with the handling of my case. Kept me informed at all times,returned calls and responded to emails in an exceptional manner. To me, she put me the clie...nt first and not her own concern on what the case would profit her. She put the time and effort way beyond to make sure the case was handled correctly, and she fought for me and my case till the end. When looking for a lawyer you want someone who is concerned and cares which Ms. Nelson is all that and more. Truly Blessed to meet her and be on her team. If ever in need of a lawyer will definitely go to Ms. Nelson before anywhere else. I wish you Ms. Laura a Blessed and Happy Holiday/New Years. Truly thank you for everything.

Personal Injury Case - Pedestrian vs. Auto

I was a pedestrian hit by a car while crossing the street in a residential area in late 2013. A report was taken by CHP putting responsibility for the accident on the driver of the car. Due to my (ankle/foot) injuries, I spent several months unable to perform simple daily functions. Initial conve...rsations with the insurance companies, both theirs and mine, convinced me that I needed professional legal help. This decision led me to call Ms. Mismas. During our initial consultation, she outlined clearly how this process would proceed. My relief at no longer dealing with insurance companies, as well as my HMO regarding charges, was immediate. We were kept informed of all progress and conversations. She kept things moving along, without rushing to a conclusion before my health was where it should be. I always felt that she had my best interests in mind. This case came to a satisfactory conclusion for me only as a direct result of my association with Ms. Mismas. What began as a frustrating encounter with insurance companies ended as a positive experience. Ms. Mismas has both my thanks and my respect. I highly recommend her!
