The old days of Hawaii…

Between 1988-1992 Workers Comp case, He is awesome! I enjoyed the win he got me and was able to buy a car and home when I returned to the states, tell him Mrs Coleman says a great great hellos and thanks for fighting for me while I was just 28 years old, I still have some trouble from the injury but ...Lawyer and doctors saved my life in many ways.. Wishing him many great Christmas’s, I’m glad he is still working and I found him on Dateline show for a case he was defending… Wow it’s a small world.. God bless my friend…

Nelson Goo

I personally just want to thank Mr. Goo for fighting unconditionally for my innocence. I would highly recommend Nelson Goo to everyone who is going through legal issues. I have learned so much from Nelson. He has over 40 years of experience in his profession as a lawyer. Nelson helped me so much with... my life I have now. Words can’t express how grateful I am for Mr. Nelson Goo being my attorney as I went through my legal issues and my trial when I was facing life without parole. Mahalo Nelson, Thank you so much!!!
