Deborah M Nelson

Deborah and Jeff did a wonderful job while representing me in a personal injury case. Both were very compassionate to my situation and kept me well appraised as to what was happening with my case. My emails and phone calls were answered promptly and any questions were answered fully. I was never lef...t wondering what was the next step. Both worked tirelessly on my case till the very end and always made me feel like I was more than just a client. I could not have asked for a better team!

When we contacted and met with Deborah Nelson and Jeff Boyd of Nelson and Boyd Attorneys, they were very knowledgeable regarding my husband type of injury, and Deborah directed us toward the best Doctor's to deal with my husband's TBI. They always kept us informed of what was happening. We could alw...ays reach them, or they always called us back immediately. If you are looking for attorneys that are trustworthy, thoughtful, hard working and go the distance on your behalf, look no further. We spent a lot of time with them during our lawsuit, and it was like being with family. Someone who truly has your back, and truly cares about the outcome.

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

After contacting a disabling illness and losing the ability to work, I filed for disability benefits with my LTD insurance provider. After my claim was unfairly denied, I hired Deborah to handle the appeal. From the first meeting, I was impressed with her experience, intelligence, and compassion. ...She has a proven strategy for disability appeals using credible and respected medical and rehabilitation experts for evaluations and testimonies. Having Deborah manage the appeal was a huge relief; this allowed me to focus on my health care. She was tenacious, firm, and professional when dealing with the insurance company. Deborah provided timely and clear updates and always answered my many questions promptly. I know that it was in large part to her excellent work and perseverance that I received a favorable settlement. I hope to never have another legal issue again, but if I do, Deborah will be the first person I call.

In 2000, I had just moved across the country for health reasons, when my disability insurer cut off my benefits. I was miles from my doctors, my lawyers, and barely settled into my new home. I needed a lawyer who could help me file an appeal with my insurer and sue them if necessary. I also needed a ...lawyer who could help me deal with my transition to the West Coast. I found Deborah Nelson on the internet. She was direct. She was informed. She was responsive. She was aggressive. She even used computer databases and sent email (for informal communications). We developed a plan of action. She helped me find a new doctor in Seattle and helped with the transfer of my medical records from the East Coast. Whenever there was a development in the case, she kept me informed. She knew how to respond and either handled it directly, or made sure that I did it properly. She stood between me and my insurer, advising me of my legal rights and how I should exercise them. With the appropriate documentation and medical testimony, she won my appeal. We didn't have to go to court. Since then I have kept her on retainer to deal with routine matters with my insurer, and it has been worth every penny. It is comforting to have someone like Ms. Willis on my side.
