Client Testimonials

Client

★★★★★

Heather L. Nelson is truly an exceptional attorney. She not only brought a high level of professionalism and knowledge to my case, but also a sense of compassion and calm during one of the most emotionally difficult times in my life. Heather made the legal process feel less overwhelming and always made me feel heard, supported, and protected. Her communication was clear and timely, and she never made me feel like just another client. She genuinely cared about my situation and my child's best interests. What impressed me most was her ability to advocate with both strength and grace. I felt empowered every step of the way because I knew she had my back. She allowed me to vent, to cry, and to fully express what I was feeling, and she truly listened. That kind of emotional support is rare and meant the world to me. I also want to recognize her paralegal, Alexis, who was incredibly helpful and kind. Together, they responded quickly to every email and made sure I was never left in the dark. Their invoices were always transparent, clearly outlining what my money was going toward, which gave me an added sense of trust and peace of mind throughout the process. If I ever need representation again, I wouldn't hesitate to return to Attorney Nelson. I am deeply grateful for everything she's done, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

As a father, I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent my daughter. Attorney Nelson went above and beyond in every way. I was closely involved throughout the case, and I attended the court hearing alongside my daughter. From everything my daughter shared with me, and from what I saw firsthand in the courtroom, it was clear that Attorney Nelson is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also deeply compassionate. She made my daughter feel incredibly calm and supported during one of the most emotional and stressful times in our life. As her father, that meant everything to me. Knowing my daughter was in such capable and caring hands gave me great peace of mind. We both felt respected, safe, and truly heard. Attorney Nelson clearly has a gift for what she does. She brought strength and grace into the courtroom and handled everything with professionalism and care. I am grateful for the way she advocated for my daughter and, most importantly, for my grandson's best interests. She is outstanding at her job and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a strong, trustworthy, and compassionate attorney.

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Nelson a bit ago with a family situation. She was very knowledgeable about the system and guided me through the process. She professionally answered all my questions and seemed to really care about the positive outcome we received. I would recommend Ms. Nelson for any family court needs.

I had a very complex child custody case, living in Oklahoma I hired Heather based on recommendations of several other lawyers I called. I called serval firms that did not practice family law, after explaining this to me I asked them who the best family lawyer was in the area, all 3 of them said Heather Nelson. After consulting with her, I hired her. She was very prompt, and professional. Given the complexity of the case she was able to read, work through, and understand over 6,000 pages of text messages that spanned over 3 years. I had a mountain of horrible accusations against me and that was my only proof it didn't happen. She was not only able to read and understand that, but during a trail she was able to recall them from memory, find them in real time during court. This absolutely amazed me. She not only got their "expert witness" completely discredited but also got them to completely recant on the stand and change their opinion to be in my favor. The thing I appreciated the most was Heathers ability to understand my position and what kind of defense I wanted and carry that out. My goal was to be in my son's life, I didn't want to tear people apart or stoop to the level that the opposition was. She inherently understood what I wanted, and based the tone of her defense off of that which was not easy to do. Ultimately I got access to my son and I am very involved in his life, you cannot put a price tag on that and this was uphill battle that took a year and a half. Heather has the ability to read people, situations, and understand things like few people I have ever seen or worked with. She has an amazing supportive staff, Alexis is amazing. They truly cared about my situation and went above and beyond for me more than I ever thought was possible. Hiring her was the best decision I ever made for myself and my son and changed both of our lives forever due to her competence and effectiveness at her job.
