Mr. Nelson is highly unreliable and unreachable. Do not retain this man's services.

I would highly advise not using Mr. Nelson's services. I will give the man two stars, as he did assist positively during the early duration of our court hearings. Shortly thereafter, he was extremely difficult to get ahold of. I have reported him to the Bar of Washington for a multitude of grievances... and plan on taking legal action, as he has money left in my retainer, as well. I've sent a formal letter. These family court attorneys are truly the bottom of the barrel.

Be careful who you hire

I hired Mr Nelson for Divorce and CIR proceedings. In the 13 days of me hiring him he dropped the ball on civil stand by which in turn I fired him. Which is very important to me. He also tried to blame me for his confusion. I sent him literally an email every day with no real responses. If your serio...us about your case this isn't the right guy. He definitely talks the talk but does not walk the walk

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!!!

Dropped the ball!

In my divorce case I was very impressed with Mr. Nelson. I several emails I complimented Mr. Nelson and his secretary, Cheryl. on their support and professionalism during a difficult time. That was in 12/17/17. In the final divorce decree the judge awarded me a Qualified Domestic Relation Order (QDRO...), for the sum of $41,000, which was to be transferred from my ex-wife's 401k into mine. I was ecstatic, but to this date the QDRO has not been filed, which I have paid for. I finally had to file a complaint with Washington State Bar Association on 4/5/2023.

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
