Auto accident

Five stars to Troy Nelson for how he handled my auto accident claim. It’s clear he has a passion for helping injured people. He was both responsive and compassionate with me while being aggressive fighting for my case. He resolved the claim fairly quickly bringing closure to a very difficult time of my life.

Response from Troy Nelson November 16, 2018

Amazing lawyer

Troy is definitely a lawyer who I highly recommend! He restored my gun rights, that I lost 10 years ago. His team are hard working for you and your best interest! We will continue business with him.

Wonderful! Resolved a long time issue for us...

Troy is definitely worth his weight in gold. He helped restore my husband's gun rights after a 10 year wait. There was a lot of messy paperwork and he and his office handled everything and let us know exactly how to handle the bits we needed to do. On the day of the hearing, we literally walked in, and just a few minutes later were told that my husband had indeed earned his rights back. We are so grateful for all of the hard work Troy put in! Thank you Troy!

Fabulous Lawyer

Troy helped me with a school dispute and due to his advice I was able to avoid a court battle. He was generous with his time and really did care about helping me. I will refer him anytime and if I ever need assistance again he will be my first call. Thank you Troy, our family greatly appreciates you!

Great Litigator

Troy is a VERY capable, bright and effective litigation attorney. He understands the legal principles at issue and then presents only the necessary evidence to support his client's theory of the case. All too often lawyers spend time on trivial or tangential issues that either distract or irritate the jury. Troy understands great trial counsel are efficient and economical with the evidence. He also has the communication skills to present his client's case in an consise and understandable manner. I would recommend Troy to any client needing a highly skilled trial attorney.

Permanent Retainer

Troy Nelson is an outstanding individual. I have known Troy for years, our families are friends, and we have competed in sporting events together. As with his drive to succeed, he has a strong will to aide and assist others with his knowledge and experience. In both personal and business situations Troy has come to my side and been the solid foundation in times of confusion and blindness in the legal world. Good level-headed advice is sometimes the most important tool in navigating these issues. Troy is at ease in delivering the best possible outcome in a clear and concise manner. I highly recommend Troy and stand by his performance.

Troy was great to work with in resolving a legal situation we were dealing with. He was quick to respond to questions, very knowledgeable, had a good sense of humor and worked hard for our company in this matter. I'd highly recommend his services, and if ever needed in the future I would not be hesitant to use his services again.
