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.

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

Amazing

Jason has been my attorney for the past 7 or 8 years. He has helped me with my complicated case and was always very knowledgeable and let me know what the judge would or wouldn't go for and 90% of the time the case went my way. He does have a lot of clients and that keeps him busy and I knew that so ...I would call and check on my case cause even though I hired him it's also my responsibility to see what's going on. I recommend him to everyone and a few friends and family continue to use him. He will also tell you if your wasting your money and on the case I'm working with him now has told me "don't go over $800 cause it's a waste of my money" I love him and his secretary. His secretary is extremely knowledgeable and can answer 90% of your questions with out talking to him. They are an amazing team and you won't go wrong when you hire him.

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."
