Mr Nelson and his associates are true professionals. Each one I work with are extremely knowledgeable. They inform me what is happening and advise me about my options. I am confident they are looking out for my best interest.
Seldom do you hear someone say an attorney is their friend. In this case they have friended me and treat me as they would a family member.
I highly recommend Ted Nelson and associates.

I am a retired legal mediator, and had the pleasure of working with Tad Nelson on occasion. Tad was always a professional and very gracious with the opposing attorney.
Yet at the same time,, I watched him preparing to prove his point and make sure that the other side knew they were in trouble
He didn’t do this by being a bully or by Intimidation Rather, he did this by his knowledge and by his skill as an attorney
For me, it was always fun watching him at work.

I had a very good experience with Maricela in the front desk she was very helpful and attentive with all the questions that I had, also her being bilingual made my experience 10 times better. Mrs.Amber was also very helpful in the court and she was able push for what I asked for “Dismissed”. Overall they are good lawyers, you just have to have a lot of patience. I am very happy with my experience and would recommend Tad Nelson & Associates 100 percent.
