Endorsement

I am delighted and pleased to provide this endorsement of the outstanding attorney, Deborah M. Nelson. Even if you are only considering the retainment of a personal injury lawyer, you do not need to look any further. My experience with Deborah was sterling from the beginning of my case to its most su...ccessful end. Throughout the process, Deborah exhibited the highest degrees of professionalism and compassion. Her knowledge of personal injury and insurance law is exemplary. She applied her expertise with fantastic clarity and effectiveness. Most importantly, Deborah handled my case with empathy and treated me with the utmost respect. You will find the same. I will not hesitate to hire Deborah again if and when I need her because she became my friend. Thank you! LMO. December 2017

Medical Malpractice

Deborah Nelson and Jeffrey Boyd represented my claim professionally and with great concern for the way my initial case was mis-handled by another lawyer. Unlike the previous lawyer, they did everything in their power to get the best settlement that they could. They were responsive to my questions and... constantly kept me informed as to the status of the litigation and presented me with all the facts to make an informed decision about my claim. Their professionalism and legal knowledge resulted in getting adequate compensation through mediation prior to taking the case to court.

Posted by anonymous | November 16, 2011 | Motorcycle Accident

wrecked in Reno (Motorcycle accident)

Let me first state that my previous experiences with lawyers has been with divorce attorneys and has been a very negative experience . Because of this I had no interest in giving an attorney any share of money awarded to me when I was in a motorcycle accident in Reno where the other party was clearly... at fault. I knew I couldn't get the same settlement an attoney could , however , I wouldn't have to choke up a third of it to a lawyer that didn't do much to earn it. I just needed the insurance company to deal in an upright and honest manner with a guy who wanted enough of a settlement to upgrade his motorcycle and maybe a couple thousand for pain and suffering . After 3 months of dealing with the insurance companies it became obvious that the whole lot of them were not being honest with me and trying their best to force me into a settlement. Right off the bat after my initial Emergency Room visit no one would see me for follow up care. I have great health insurance (gov. Regence Blueshield ) They would pay nothing because it was an accident and someone else was liable. My insurance company (State Farm would pay nothing because PIP personal injury protection is not available on MCs . The at fault partie's insurance (Farmers) would pay nothing until the claim settled.I was finally able to get Regence to cover(lot of hassle) if I signed over a right of recovery form which enabled them to be 1st in line to recover their losses from the other party. I was already out of pocket several thousand dollars in fees , co-pays , and other uncovered and undocumented expenses and it looked like I was actually going to end this case several thosand dolllars in the whole rather than recovering my full expenses when My aunt suggested I try an attorney friend of hers . Deborah Nelson and partner Jeff Boyd interviewed me and actually explained to me hoe my insurance coverage actually worked. I was informed of a lot of facts that were previously not disclosed to me. My underinsured motorist coverage is upposed to pay for my time loss from work and any pain and suffering award given me by a jury amongst other things. To make a long story short , Deborah was able to take the case , even after I had provided a lot of information to the other insurance companies and even signed away some of my legal redress recovery, and obtain a sizable monetary recovery for me. After taking the case Deborah dealt with all of the insurance contacts and other hassles. I was kept very well informed on the case proceedings and had access to Deborah via telephone and/or email as needed. After the the case was over and the vehicle insurance companies had settled my claims , Deborah (receiving no additional funds) pursued my health insurance company to have them pay for a portion of my attorney fees getting me several more thousand dollars that I had not expected. Basically I ended up with tens of thousands of dollars more than I was originally afterbecause the insurance companies would not deal with me in an open and forthright manner. Thank you Deborah and Jeff

Glad she joined our team.

Deborah came into our case and was a great breath of fresh air, she was extremely knowledgable, kind compasionate and awsome at what she does. She was quick to get back with me with my questions how ever small or large they were. Was appropriate in the courtroom which you can tell she knows her way a...round in and should I ever need an attorney again will go straight to Deborah.

Client Review

Deborah was my lawyer during an auto accident case that involved myself and an uninsured, drunk driver who totaled my car. She was more than professional, kept me very well informed and was timely in her correspondence with me. During a difficult time in my life, her expertise helped me stay focused ...and calm and produced an outcome with which I was more than satisfied.
