Fast and Efficient

I purchased some bookcases from a local retailer three months ago. After examining one of the bookcases the day after delivery I found a manufacturing defect. I called the retailer to sort this out thinking they would exchange it quickly. Weeks go by without a settlement from the retailer. I decid...ed to contact a lawyer who specialized in consumer advocacy. I called Jessica Neilson. Within two days I had a new bookcase sitting in my living room. I don't know what she told the retailer, but it sure worked! She settled a situation in two that had been dragging along for weeks. Thank you Jessica.

the most smart and trustful lawyer I ever met,

1.She stands on her clients interests at all points. 2.She educates her clients as students so that benifits to you whole your life. 3.She helps you handle your power not only from the law but also from digging out the truth and gains up your confident. 4.She is so understanding that business neg...otiation is not only legal war but also psychological struggle. 5.She has very clear mind so that figue out your complicate case very quick with right judgement in the relationship between concepts and logistic,even communicates with my poor English.

very responsive willing to go the distance

I hired Jessica to help me recover my expenses on a boat purchase that went bad. Jessica, gave me free consultation on the phone and took my case on. She immediately made contact with the dealer I purchased the boat through and professionally let them know where we stood. At all times Jessica re...mained composed and represented us in a fasion that I was not able to do because of my personal interest in the situation. One of the things I liked the most about her is that she was willing to go to court if necessary and never pushed a settlement for fear of appearing in court. Our stand was correct and the dealer settled. I would highly reccommend Jessica in a consumer protection case. L. Williams

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
