Excellent defense attorneys that actually care about the people that hire them. They did a great job for my sister and if you need a lawyer for a DUI, give them a call.

After contacting multiple law firms for my DWI case, I was left feeling unsure of my options. But when I reached out to Tad Nelson & Associates, I was met with a team of knowledgeable and helpful assistants who gave me the confidence I need to go ahead and hire them for my case. They provided me with all the information I needed and put my mind at ease. I can confidently say that hiring Tad Nelson as my lawyer was the best decision I could have made.

His expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process were great and I was able to achieve a good outcome for my case. If you're looking for a top-notch DWI defense attorney in Houston, look no further than Tad Nelson & Associates. He truly was the man for my case and I cannot recommend him enough.

Tad is truly where the rubber meets the road. No stranger to the courtroom, he is the type of attorney who knows what to do, when to do it and how much. He will defend you against the government. Call him today.

I was recommended to Mr Nelson's office by a family friend. He's a hard worker, he has a stroke of brilliance, and helped me with a serious personal issue outside of Harris County that I recently got behind me. Thanks for everything and I see why he's such a recommended lawyer.

Taking my case to Tad Nelson for help was the best thing I couldve done for my situation. He is a true professional and his confidence and knowledge is second to none. Mr Nelson was always quick to answer my questions and to let me know of any changes or developments with my case. If anyone were to ask me to refer them to a lawyer that I trust, I would highly recommend Tad Nelson & Associates.

Tad did an outstanding job on my wifes case! If youre ever accused of DUI and you know you were not driving drunk dont talk about your case, dont mouth off to the cops and make sure you call Tad as soon as possible. Its impossible to accurately express our gratitude from bringing this boil of a matter to an end, but the defense team at this law firm is good and knows their stuff. If you wanna get the wishy washiness out of your search for a lawyer, call these folks.

Tad & Amber are incredible lawyers. (I'm leaving this review on behalf of my mother) They came to the rescue of my mother's boyfriend who was facing charges for his 3rd DWI offense which is a felony charge. He was looking at a real potential for serious jail time and we didn't think things would end well. After searching for a lawyer in Houston to help us with the case, we were recommended to Mr. Nelson's office.

When we met with Tad and Amber we were told what to expect from the state and the tricks they would try. They went over the details of the incident and we decided to hire them. After leaving their office, we both had a good sense about the potential of these two to help us with the situation. To make a long story short, after 10 months of back and forth with prosecutors and going to and from court hearings, the case was dismissed in Harris County. We're thankful that we were directed to Tad and even happier than we hired them.
Thanks!

I'd like to send a personal shout out to attorney Tad Nelson. He help us out one of my drivers with a DWI case. Without that driver, my business would have been in trouble considering the training I would have had to do with a newby. Thanks for all the help Tad! Best DWI lawyer in town!

They helped my husband get out of a DWI charge in Houston about a year ago. Tad is a straight shooter who didnt sugar coat anything when discussing the potential, but felt we would have a good shot at a positive outcome. The prosecutor was being difficult, so Tad took the case to trial and then after all that time the case was dismissed before trial. To this day I dont what Tad told them, but they dismissed the case. Looking back, I think hiring Tad was one of the best decisions we made.

They helped me out of a jam once, and they also helped one of my friends. If you hire Tad and Amber for your DWI case you can be assured of excellent legal representation (if the case isn't thrown out early at pre-trial like mine was). I know how hard it is to find and settle on an attorney. But I have to throw my hat behind Tad Nelson as one the best lawyers in Houston for DWI felonies. These people do the impossible.

Definitely the one attorney I'll recommend to my friends and family in Houston. He took the time to talk with me about my options and helped me to understand the process. He got my DWI case dismissed.

Tad's a quick mover and will leave you thinking that he forgot your name, but nothing can be further from the truth. I don't know how does it, but he does it. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone that asked. If you're going through a DWI case it can be expensive and stressful, but getting a positive resolution is worth the trouble. Even though I was somewhat of a skeptic at first, I'm glad I called. Tad's the best.

I recommend. Tad's good at what he does and he's very confident. If you know you were wrongfully arrested for DWI, he's the man to call on.
