Reed Nelson represented me in dispute with my employer. From the moment he agreed to represent me, Reed was professional, responsive and communicated with me exceptionally well. I felt at ease knowing that my lawyer was on top of the issues and had my back. I live in Monroe County and my employer was in St. Clair County. At first it wasn’t clear where the lawsuit would be filed, but I knew that Reed would do a great job whether the case was filed in Monroe County, St. Clair County, or Madison County. Ultimately, our case was filed in St. Clair County, and with Reed’s help, we won every hearing and came to a great result

Reed Nelson was life changing when I got in contact with him. When I reached out to Nelson & Nelson I was on the verge of having to pay my previous employer over $1000 but thanks to reed Nelson and his skilled team I was able to win the case with over a $30,000 settlement.

Reed represented me in a legal matter in St. Clair County, IL. I can provide a greater recommendation than to say that I personally would not hesitate to have Reed represent me again. He expressed concern for my personal well being and provided me with an outcome that exceeded my expectations. You will be happy with a decision to have Reed in your corner.

I live in west Frankfort Illinois and I was a career coal miner! I hire reed Nelson to represent me on a legal issue against my employer. Reed Nelson was compassionate and very skilled! Trust has always been the hardest thing for me to overcome with attorneys however, I never had any trust issues with reed Nelson. I never once felt like I couldn’t trust my attorney reed Nelson. He treated me with the up most respect. We settled our case against the coal mine and I couldn’t imagine any other attorney doing a better job on my case! I would recommend reed Nelson to anyone that needs the best representation you can get!

Reed Nelson is a wonderful man and lawyer. When I was injured on my Motorcycle I felt hopeless. I felt lost with no idea where to go or who to speak to. Reed made it a point to make me feel at ease and secure with my decision to hire him as my Attorney. I will be forever grateful for the amazing work and time he put into my accident.

My work comp injury left me scared and unsure what to do. I knew I needed someone on my side. I knew of Nelson and Nelson law firm but had never had any personal experience. I took a chance and called. My appointment with Reed happened within a few days. He listened intently to my concerns. From that moment on, I knew I was going to receive the medical treatment I needed and wanted. I was not disappointed! Reed and his staff were always available to answer my questions, return phone calls within hours, and made me feel like I was there only concern! I am well aware many conversations with "the other side" occurred without my involvement. I am so grateful I did not have to deal with "the other side". Reed kept me constantly updated on progress towards settlement--involving and asking my opinion every step of the way. Thank you Reed, Vanessa, and Shannon for all your hard work!! If you are looking for someone who cares about you, look no further-you have found the attorney you need!!!!

Mr. Nelson recently handled a Workers Compensation case for me. From our first meeting it was very clear that he would pursue the case in an honest and most professional manner...I was not disappointed! Mr. Nelson is a very articulate communicator. He was very thorough in his explanation of what service he would provide and what he expected of me. He kept all of our appointments, whether in person, by phone or email. Mr. Nelson added value to my case, by using his expertise to increase the settlement beyond what I could have accomplished had I handled it on my own. I would definitely retain him again should the need arise!
