Highly Respected

“I was in a hit and run automobile accident that involved an uninsured motorist. I have been driving for decades and never been in an accident. The insurance company immediately tried to compensate me for my injuries just days after the accident. I needed to discuss this accident with a knowledgeable law firm. I reached out to a friend about my situation and he referred me to Nelson Personal Injury. My first consultation was with Matt Nelson who listened with concern and compassion about the details of my injuries and accident. Matt and his assistant Tammy executed a plan of negotiations with the insurance company that resulted in satisfactory compensation. I witnessed Matt’s interaction with other attorneys involved and can see that he is highly respected by his peers. If the situation where to happen again that I needed legal counsel I would not hesitate to call Nelson Personal Injury.”
