Hire him you won’t regret it!

Jason and his secretary were awesome! They were polite, responsive, organized, affordable, on time and kept me informed. My case went to court many many times and I won every time but once and that particular time was over my X getting the kids for that particular Thanksgiving! I attorney shopped and... interviewed probably 7 attorneys. I was recommended to Jason and finally decided he was the one and never once regretted it! Great attorney!!!

Do not hire!

I hired Jason for my divorce he wasted months of my time. He ignored repeated emails and messages for 4 months, as did his secretary, that cost me thousands in extra child support payments. Now that my divorce is final I've spent almost 2 months trying to get a final statement (which I haven't receiv...ed a single one since I hired him) and the remaining balance of my retainer. I plan on filing a complaint with the bar next. If you want a lawyer with integrity and and dependability, do not hire Jason Nelson

Lack of communication

I hired Jason 4 months into divorce. At first he was very up front and explained things to me thoroughly about what to expect based on my case. Was good at communicating and returning phone calls and emails. Then about 7 months in when I started contacting him and telling him what kinds of terms I wa...s trying to get my wife to settle on, he didn't return calls and emails in a timely manner. When I told him "I dislike attorneys, nothing personal and to do his job", he was real butt hurt. So what did he do, withdrew the day before my pretrial 8 months into the divorce and only a week before trial. Unprofessional individual who thought he was going to be able to put my case on cruise control and do very little.

His First Case

Jason represented my ex-wife, it was his first case fresh out of Law School. I was so impressed by his knowledge of the case and his doggedness for doing what was best for his client , it was then and there I decided if I ever need an attorney he would be the one I would hire. In the years that hav...e passed, there were times I needed an attorney, during consultation Jason would give me advice, looking out for my best interests. He would say, this is a matter you can take care of yourself and you can save yourself the fees. If you have any question you can call me and I'll get you through this. But if you want my services I will be more than glad to take care of this matter. One day while filing paperwork I ran into a Judge at the courthouse. During the conversation I asked the Judge who he thought would be a good attorney for a matter. The judge responded: "Jason Nelson. He won't waste your time and money. He doesn't waste my time with frivolous actions, like many attorneys do. I wish more attorneys were like him."
