About
I'm a product of DeKalb County, Georgia. I attended the DeKalb County school system until 11th grade. From 11th and 12th grade I attended George Walton Academy in Monroe, Georgia. After high school, I spent 4 years at the University of Georgia learning about history and watching some good football.I helped a friend start his own law firm after I graduated from college. I learned a lot from this experience and decided I wanted to become a lawyer. This led me to Cumberland School of Law, part of Samford University, in Birmingham, Alabama.I spent 3 years in Birmingham learning about the law. I took every single litigation class offered at Cumberland Law School. I was a member of both the Trial Advocacy Board and the Moot Court Board. I participated in mock trials at Cumberland, and I represented Cumberland in the American Bar Association's NAAC Moot Court Competition. My Moot Court Team won our regional competition in Dallas and competed in the national finals tournament in Chicago. I became a member of the Order of Barristers because of my oral advocacy and legal writing skills.At Cumberland I was a member of the American Journal of Trial Advocacy. I rose to the level of Senior Associate Editor. The Journal published one of my papers while I was still a student about when the government can search your electronics during a border crossing. Border Confidential: Why Searches of Laptop Computers at the Border Should Require Reasonable Suspicion, 31 Am. J. Trial Advoc. 137 (2007).After Cumberland, my wife and I spent a year in Norwich, England, at the University of East Anglia's Norwich School of Law ("UEA"). I studied international law, focusing on intellectual property and information technology law. I received a Master of Laws (LLM, or Legum Magister in fancy Latin) from UEA with distinction. I won the award for the best dissertation, and my dissertation was later published by the McGeorge Law Review. The Virtual Property Problem: What property rights in virtual resources might look like, how they might work, and why they are a bad idea, 41 McGeorge Law Review 281 (2010).My wife and I moved back to Georgia, and I began working for a locl government lawyer in Covington, Georgia. That firm represented Newton County, Georgia, as well as a number of other governmental organizations. I learned a lot about government law, property law, and environmental law, and tried my first jury trial.I then worked for Professional Boundaries Inc ("PBI") for about a year as their Chief Legal Officer and Chief Technology Officer. PBI is a small, but national education company focusing on ethics and professionalism training in various professional industries, but primarily within the medical field.I then opened my own law firm. My law firm focuses on representing regular folks and small businesses. I represent consumers fighting against companies that have lied, cheated, or hurt them. I represent small businesses and guide them through the process of formation and growth. I represent technology startups and the unique issues they face.At the Nelson Law Chambers LLC, we protect people. We protect property. And we protect small businesses.

This was my first time having to hire an attorney and I honestly believe John Nelson is a gift from God. I have had to use him on two occasions and he also represented a relative another case. ALL of those cases came out in our favor. He truly works tirelessly for the little guy. Plus, he's genuinely a nice guy. If you need an attorney, please don't hesitate to hire John Nelson, you won't regret it!
We hired him to help us with a lawsuit from a credit card company that turned out to not be valid. John Nelson is knowledgeable about exactly what our rights were and he knew how to handle it. He is great to work with as well. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend that you hire him to help you!
John has been helping me for serveral cases with different firms and he has always been on top of it and very thorough! And we won and settled all cases he represented. I would definitely send all referrals to his firm.
For my first time using a lawyer, I had a very pleasant experience with Mr. John William Nelson. He was very easy to contact, not only by phone but by e-mail as well. He was thorough in answering my questions and explaining everything at hand. He really made me feel comfortable. His analysis and strategy for handling my cases was "spot-on" and resulted in best-case settlements. He was able to negotiate a settlement deal that I was comfortable with. He also he did not make any assumptions or move forward with anything without letting me know what was happening. I would be comfortable using him again as well as referring people to use his services. He is a very professional attorney who respects his clients. I strongly recommend you consider Mr. John William Nelson for your legal representation.
I came across John Nelson on the internet while recovering from a brief but disappointing association with another attorney who had assured me I had no case. Determined not to capitulate and knowing I had sustained a legitimate loss, I called John Nelson. Mr. Nelson's assessment of my issue was very different from what I had previously been told. What impressed me most was Mr. Nelson's understanding of the wrong I had endured as well as his desire to obtain fairness and justice for me. After lengthily discussion of the details of my case we did, eventually, get around to discussing terms of service matters which I found completely satisfactory and reasonable and with no unforeseen financial risk to myself. While the potential financial benefit of prevailing in my case was at best modest, Mr. Nelson non-the-less pursued the case with persistence and determination and in the end did prevail. I received great satisfaction in my association with Mr. Nelson, not only because we prevailed but also because I have no doubt Mr. Nelson feels , as I do, that fairness and justice are obtainable and are, in fact their own rewards. John William Nelson is highly recommended.
I have a minor problem with an International vendor that John has advised on in response to my e-mail inquiry. The advise was sound, well thought and very logically laid out. I do appreciate the time, patience and thoughtful advice provided. I will seriously consider using his services for anything applicable that comes up in the future. Thanks again John
John did an outstanding job on my FDCPA case! I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a consumer attorney.
I contacted Nelson Law Chambers because I was dealing with a very spiteful collections agency. John was very professional and thorough. His in-depth knowledge of the law and how it relates to my case resulted in my case being dismissed with prejudice without me having to ever set foot in a court-room. He will take the time to explain the various option and point you in the direction that is best for you. He is very professional, but very relatable. He is also very trustworthy. I highly recommend John and his team.
I contacted Mr. Nelson about a credit card debt that had gone to collections. The collection agency was over zealous in attempting to collect the debt. Mr. Nelson contacted the agency and was able to negotiate a settlement payment from them. He also negotiated a full release with the company holding the debt. He stayed in contact with me and kept me updated throughout these procedures. I am very satisfied with his services.
John W. Nelson represented my wife and me in a few magistrate court cases. We were extremely satisfied with how John represented us and resolved each case. John is a very thorough and competent professional who always had our best interests in mind. He is prompt, reliable and results oriented. John is a great communicator and a partner you can trust!
