I was put into a situation where I needed an emergency custody order for my son. Not only did Joshua go above and beyond to get the order in place quickly, he was there with me all the way until the ultimate win of permanent custody. He was kind and professional and I couldn’t have asked for better! Joshua and Angela are a great team and I highly recommend him for any family custody cases!

Joshua and Angela were available, and thorough, with me as we collaborated remotely. The result was as expected per previous discussion.

Joshua goes above and beyond the normal call of duty. He took the time to reach out to me while he was out of the office on personal time to discuss legal matters. It was like talking to an old friend as he genuinely answered my questions and made sure that I understood everything clearly. I felt confident that I was getting the best advice when speaking with him. A great person and try professional for sure!

I received at speeding ticket in Haywood County, NC. While I received solicitations from other firms I chose Nielsen because an attorney friend recommended him. He was great. He did not try to scare me into using his firm. He said he would do his best and that it what he did. Thanks!

I hired Mr. Nielsen to handle a speeding ticket, 70mph in a 55mph zone on I-40 coming back from Pigeon Forge, TN. They recommended I complete the NC Defensive Driving Course which I did and was thankful I did, I actually learned a few things about driving in NC that I was unfamiliar with. The course was not free but money well spent. I also didn't want the points on my drivers license or my insurance and Mr. Nielsen handled that for me and the speeding charge was reduced to improper equipment, yes I paid a fine but the important thing was no points on either my license or my insurance. His fee was extremely reasonable and his office is highly professional and extremely responsive. Hopefully I won't need him again but if I need legal services in Haywood County again he will be the one I will hire.

I definitely recommend this attorney‘s office. They not only represented me but they communicated efficiently, quickly, and always talked to me with courtesy and respect considering it was a very stressful time for me going through a divorce. The attorney and his assistant Angela were always quick to respond and took their time to explain any legal jargon in layman‘s terms. If I ever have a need for an attorney again I would not go anywhere else. I am grateful for them!

I own three companies and have had my share of legal cases, it's the world we live in. Most my interactions with lawyers have left a bad taste in my mouth. Fortunately I found Josh, he's super friendly and explains things to you in a way that makes sense. I couldn't have hoped for better outcome with my divorce. Josh was punctual and always eased my mind when I was worried about something. If you want a lawyer that truly has your back and not just your wallet, I would recommend Mr Nelson to anyone.

I'd been fortunate to never really need legal representation, but this also meant that when it came time for my husband and I to go forward with our stepparent adoption, I didn't really know what to expect. I had heard so many stories about attorneys who didn't communicate well with their clients, didn't take their client's wishes into consideration, or weren't open about their fees. We were SO FORTUNATE to find Josh Nielsen! From the very beginning, he was completely upfront with our options, their costs, and their timelines. I never felt pressured into choosing a certain option, and he really seemed to want what was best for our family. He and Angela were EXTREMELY communicative with us, and there was never a time during the months-long process that we were unaware of what was going on with our case. If you're needing legal representation for child custody issues, I would highly recommend Josh and his team. They got us the results we wanted, and were a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Nielsen Legal also later helped me with getting a speeding ticket reduced, and the process was a breeze! Again, they got us the best possible results and I'm very grateful for their expertise!

Joshua was hired to help me with a traffic ticket. He was very professional and took time to explain to me what the process would be. His staff is also very attentive and prompt. The outcome of my case was the best possible circumstance. I would highly recommend.
