Mr. Nelson was extremely concerned regarding my situation and took time to explain the process. He and his staff treated me as a family member and made sure we were supported. I will never forget the way he was direct, honest and caring.

When you need a lawyer, you hire THE BEST, and Tad Nelson & Associates are absolutely that — no question about it!!!
Over Christmas, my entire life was turned upside down by false allegations, which led to misdemeanor charges and a protective order. I was scared, overwhelmed, and honestly didn’t know how I was going to get through it. I called Tad Nelson & Associates Christmas Eve.
From the very beginning, Tad went above and beyond. He gave me his personal cell phone number and answered every call and every text, even during the holidays and on weekends. I never once felt ignored or brushed off — I felt like I mattered.
That Saturday, I met with Tad to complete paperwork. He told me that he and his team would do everything they could to get me home by New Year’s Eve so I could see my family.
On Monday morning, Tad and Amber were already at the courthouse by 8:00 AM, fighting hard to have the charges dropped.
By 1:00 PM that same day, Tad called me and told me my charges were COMPLETELY DISMISSED. I collapsed. I dropped to the ground crying in disbelief. One phone call changed everything — fear, panic, and uncertainty turned into overwhelming relief.
But they weren’t done yet. The false protective order was still keeping me from my family. Tad and Amber refused to stop. Amber fought relentlessly, pushing the court again and again so I could go home.
On New Year’s Eve at 6:30 PM, both Tad and Amber personally called me and told me the words I will never forget: “The orders are signed! You can go home!”
Without Tad Nelson and Amber, I would have been separated from my family for 90 days. Because of them, it took less than 7. They didn’t just do their jobs — they fought for me, believed in me, and gave me my life back.
The love, respect, dedication, and heart that Tad and Amber put into their work is beyond words. Tad and Amber, I know you’re reading this — and I need you to know that I am forever grateful. Thank you for fighting for me when I couldn’t fight for myself. Thank you for bringing me home.
If you are facing criminal charges and feel scared, lost, or alone — call Tad Nelson & Associates. Period.

In 2024, I became client of Tad Nelson & Associates. He was recommended by a friend who had a positive experience with this attorney. I knew of Tad Nelson thru community ads,etc. and after some research, I gave him a call. To my surprise I received a response from Tad and not his office staff. We spoke and agreed on a date& time to meet in his office.
Our 1st meeting went well. He was quite professional and I felt comfortable and not judged. Throughout my case I was always kept informed and updated on what to expect. The cost for Tad's services was reasonable and competitive. I'm no longer working so I was concerned about how I would be able to afford an attorney of his caliber. I was able to make payments for his services. One less worry for me.
If you're looking for a great attorney to represent you, give Tad Martin & Associates a call. He and his team are top notch. He's the real deal, straight with no chaser. I'm so grateful for his services.
