Nelson is probably the worst lawyer you could possibly hire. I started this divorce/custody process over two years ago. This guy is unresponsive and doesn’t get anything done on time. I’ve been told from the opposing party on numerous occasions that Nelson was either late or didn’t show for court dates. Half the time when I find something out it from the other party. My last court hearing was earlier this month and Nelson was trying to have me sign stuff hours before the court hearing. My next court hearing is next month and now his email and phone are not working. Save your money and DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS GUY.

Hired him for a divorce in 2021, it’s 2024. Months turned into Years of trying to call, email, and request my money back. I’ve never experienced this kind of behavior/treatment from an attorney, you hire lawyers when you need help and trust they’ll do their job. I live in another state as well so it’s quite impossible to know what my next steps to circumvent finalizing my divorce another way is. Nelson promised to take care of me. Nothing but a financial and emotional nightmare.

I had a family case which was dragged out in court for 18(!!!!) years , when I hired Mr. De La Cruz it was my lucky day! This lawyer is no joke. Very aggressive, yet professional. He was always on time, constantly in touch with me, I never had to leave more than one message, and he called me right back in a matter of few hours at most. He prepared me before each court appearance, listened all my concerns and dilemmas and give sharp, professional options or suggestions. I’m extremely happy that this “never ending “ case is finally over, and we won it after so many years! Of course the other side tried everything to drag it out even longer, but I had such an incredible “pit bull”, it’s literally what the other side called him, so they just settled. I’m very satisfied with Mr. De La Cruz’s services and absolutely can recommend him . He just the guy you need!

I’ll be totally honest with you guys I’ve never met a lawyer, that actually fought for his client as if it was his family member, or better yet as if he was fighting for his own freedom . This man is nothing short of amazing at his job & he definitely knows the law inside out . I wouldent recommend putting my money in anyone’s hands if it’s not Nelson de La Cruz . Not to mention he’s affordable & willing to work with you . At the time I first retained him I was incarcerated in federal jail on charges of racketeering conspiracy & extortion conspiracy held without bond . Within 30 days of Nelson bein my lawyer he was able to secure me a bail & get me back home to my family . Throughout the duration of the case Nelson’s communication with both me and my loved ones was always priority and we loved that about him . His knowledge and his delivery with what he brings to the table as an attorney makes him that much more valuable to you as his client & of course to your case furthermore, securing the BEST possible outcome . In conclusion with my criminal history bein very extensive & other factors ( such as evidence against me ) I did ultimately decide to pled guilty. But the fight did not stop there with Nelson . Through motions filed & countless hearings he was able to secure me a beyond favorable plea deal . I was facing a maximum of 40 years in prison, I ended up with a 2 year prison sentence & NO restitution ! I really can’t stop thanking Nelson De La Cruz I strongly recommend him to anyone fighting a criminal case .

I hired this lawyer, up front he took my money and never filed my case in civil court, after a while he lied, didn't show up for conference calls, never answered my calls, emails and texts. His voice mailbox was full, and I couldn't leave any messages. He is a crook, don't hire him. I referred him to my brother's case and he also cheated us out of a lot of money. God don't like ugly.

Spoke with Mr De La Cruz about a fairly complicated aggravating holdover case. He offered some good advice and clear expectations on how he can assist and possible outcomes I should be prepared for.

I was a client of Nelson de la Cruz who repressed me on a matter with a retainer agreement and addendum of retainer who stopped communicating with me for over a month and failed to submit his work on time on numerous occasions prolonging my case for over 3 months with the same excuse each time.

Nelson De La Cruz is a thoughtful and experienced family attorney! He is extremely knowledgeable in law and you can only benefit from his services and advice. Although I only received a free consultation his advice was accurate to a T. Not only was his information accurate, but it allowed me to further proceed with a process I had absolutely no knowledge on whatsoever. Thank you Nelson De La Cruz! The true definition of what a lawyer should be. If i ever needed services in the future he would be the first I'd contact and I know he'd be worth every penny!

Nelson was very thorough with listening to my case and my needs. He took the time to review a few of the documents that had already been filed and was able to give me a few next step. He is willing to work with a client's finances and is not out to get paid as many lawyers are. He was very knowledgeable and responded quickly to my email and calls.

Extremely detailed, straight to the point, very open, and compassionate while offering many options to work with. Took extra time to answer all my questions despite busy schedule.

Quick to respond. Accurate information, and provides the proof with links to follow up on.
