Nelson W.S. Goo

Calling Nelson goo a sleazy attorney would feed his ego as he takes pride in bottom feeding. I am saddled with indefinite conditional release from the state hospital and goo has neglected me since he took over as court appointed attorney in December of 2019. He hasn't cfalled me on the phone since O...ctober of 2020. He is paid a flat rate by the court to defend me and he doesn't do anything to so that his pay check will continue. I filed a complaint against him with the office of disciplinary council and after a 14 month investigation the findings were ruled confidental. The motion filled by the public defender in 2013 that got me in this mess wasn't stamped by the criminal justice division of the attorney Generals office meaning the pd didn't have permission to fill the motion and goo told the judge that the matter was frivolous. At the last hearing the judge refused to give me a new attorney

"I had read the reviews after I hired Nelson Goo, but I had to go on my gut instinct. I felt he led me in the most positive way to win my cases. I had regular email contact with him, and I found all the information he requested, and he delivered it in a very professional manner. I trusted him, an...d I am thankful that I did. I had an assault case in family court dropped by the prosecutor before it ever went to trail, and I had my TRO dismissed by the plaintive before we even had to defend the case, because he played the cases moment by moment, listening to me when I gave suggestions, and looked for the weaknesses in the cases. He was prepared and clam, when I was nervous and scared. I am a very happy that I trusted him. I hope this response helps whoever reads this knowing that not all people who win, write their responses, it is usually the ones who are frustrated and upset. Not all cases can be won just because you want them to be won, it takes evidence and it takes knowing how to present the evidence. I felt Nelson listened to me, and helped direct me in the best possible way I could go to beat these cases. I had listened to two other lawyers before I picked Nelson, and you should do the same thing before you choose a lawyer. Let them spell out what they think they can do for you, before you make a choice. Nelson told me he could get the case dropped, and he did it. He told me what I wanted to hear, but he explained why he thought he could win. Then I got him all the evidence he needed, I helped him, i didn't depend on him to get the evidence. I took part in my case. I got the phone records, I took the voice messages and put them on CD's, and I took the photos to the Costco and had them enlarged. Nelson told me what I needed to do, and I did it. I didn't sit back and expect him to do all the work and then wonder why I lost the case when I was paying him. I paid him for his experience in the court room, and then I worked on my case just as hard as he did. I needed a voice of reason and he seemed to understand the courts and how they were going to respond. I am posting this to let others know that he does do good work."
