Legal Representation is More Than Good Lawyering

The Science; It’s the Most Important Component of a DWI Case
When we work with a person facing prosecution for DWI or related criminal charges, we make sure to explain the litigation process, our expertise as it relates to the science of the case, obstacles to expect, and everything we’ll need to accomplish in order to be successful for our clients.
Although the culture and nature of The Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates is one of seriousness, we provide our clients a “big city experience, with small town values”.
Although Attorney Tad Nelson mainly operates out of his Houston and League City offices, he is originally from Galveston, Texas, a graduate of Ball High School (the local high school), and is a lifelong resident of the Houston-Galveston area.
