Welcome to Tad Nelson & Associates
A Texas Board-Certified* Criminal Defense Lawyer
The phrase "big city experience and small town values" is more than just a slogan at Tad Nelson & Associates — it describes who we are and what we offer people with criminal defense needs in Galveston County and the Greater Houston metro area. We are a team of Houston criminal defense attorneys that not only talk about our special brand of service but execute it every single day.
What do we mean by big city experience?
We mean lawyer Tad Nelson's 18-plus years of tough and effective legal advocacy — demonstrated time and again in south Texas courtrooms — first as an assistant district attorney and now in private practice. Plus a group of associates with as much as 25 years of experience and a very unique skill set that benefits our clients during this difficult process.
"We, as criminal defense lawyers, are forced to deal with some of the lowest people on earth, people who have no sense of right and wrong, people who will lie in court to get what they want, people who do not care who gets hurt in the process. It is our job - our sworn duty - as criminal defense lawyers, to protect our clients from those people."
What do we mean by small town values?
We mean simple things like honesty, hard work, returning phone calls, keeping clients "in the know" regarding their cases, and being compassionate and understanding of people who are going through an incredibly difficult time; basically the same kind of things you'd expect from a friend.
