I will start off by saying our case did get resolved, but this was also an easy slam dunk case that shouldn’t have cost this much.
We were trying to terminate the biological mother’s parental rights but she was charged with murder and plead to manslaughter and had been in prison for the last 2.5 years and looking at 8 more years and had not had contact with the 5 year old child for the last 3 years.
I initially was told this could all be resolved for $5k retainer and that’s why we hired Spencer. However, at the docket call the other side wanted to proceed with jury trial which no one expected. They had to scramble to get the case together as they admitted they hadn’t really looked at the case over the last 6 months for trial on a Monday. We were told he needed another 10k to go to trial. Well they prepped for trial (mostly the paralegal) and last minute on Friday right before the trial, the mother signed over her parental rights. 3-4 days of prep and not going to trial blew through $7k of our retainer in addition to the initial $5k we gave them?? We expected something like $5k but $7k? How much more would we have had to pay if we had gone to trial which the they thought would last 2 days?? Definitely look at the prices and sign something in writing before you hire them
The mother and her lawyer stalled and duped us and our lawyer into spending all this money and time for nothing and our lawyer did not anticipate any of this.
The law firm also acted like they were very busy with other cases. They took a few days to a week and sometimes it took a second email for them to respond to anything. I would say not the worst but not the best law firm given our experience. If I could go back I think I would’ve gone with another firm honestly.

Spencer and his team is handling a strange case for me, my ex girlfriend is trying to take custody of son, even though we are not married just a ex girlfriend. Him and his team are on top of things at all times and it is going great. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a family law attorney. I will update next month when we go to court.

I was in a recent custody battle and needed an attorney for representation. I went on Google and found the Nilsson’s Legal Group. Had a conversation with Mr. Spencer Nilsson and he assured me of plan of action for my hearing. Here I am 6 months later with custody of my 2 children and child support free. I would recommend them to anyone who needs legal assistance in their child support hearings. Spencer did what he said he was going to do and he kept his word! Thanks again to The Nilsson Legal Group for all your help!

Still in the process of court and trying to help my husband get custody of his 2 boys, Spencer and his team so far during it has been doing a great job getting all details and info that they need to help us hopefully win, as a father it trying to get custody in a mother state it can be very stressful, but i have faith that they will do everything to prove that we are best fit to raise them. We will review more as court goes on and keep everyone updated on their outstanding jobs they are doing <3

The staff in this office is outstanding with their care and the work they do for others. I needed to get something done in a timely manner and they did not hesitate to jump on the case. To add, I was a part of the Texas Legal program so the fees were paid by Texas Legal. I'm not sure what the pay structure is with them but my point is the efficiency and care they took on my case was as if I was a regular paying customer. Communication was thorough and prompt with everyone on the team. This is the office you need to call if you are seeking a counsel in Family Law.

Professional and aggressive family services. They not only “hammer” and “strong arm” the competition but fight tooth and nail to see your case through to the end. Fantastic legal representation.

Spencer is hands down the best lawyer I’ve worked with. I was going through a pretty rough and messy modification order and Spencer got the job done and we won! He is so knowledgeable and very professional with his work. Spencer has allowed my life so much peace. Thank you! I will be hiring Nilsson Legal Group for any other upcoming matters, because they get the job done right and very well!

What can I say regarding Spencer? He's a great lawer and very knowledgable. We originally had another lawyer who messed us up, but Just one hearing with Spencer and I was granted my visitation rights. Thank you

I had a divorce case that had been dragged out for 18 months due to Tarrant County Court backlogs, my ex’s reluctance to finalize the divorce and overall attorney incompetence. In Feb 2023, I recruited Spencer and his team to take my case to final trial and they crushed it!
What 2 other attorneys failed to do in 18 months, Spencer got done in 6 weeks. Superb courtroom preparation, presence and performance. He was ON IT and the division of assets was fair. I’m elated that chapter of my life is now finally closed. It's rare to find a divorce attorney who is both empathetic & competent. I would highly recommend Spencer and his team.

I had worked with several different attorneys in an attempt to resolve a modification that just wouldn't end. I was burning through resources and energy with little to no results. Nilsson Legal Group was suggested by a close friend who had a great experience working with them. I reached out and gave a description of my situation and received a call from Spencer the same day. These situations are very nerve-wracking...Spencer put my stress and anxiety at ease by giving a thorough explanation of what to expect and the options that we could explore. Spencer and his team were amazing to work with, they aren't in a rush to get you off the phone, and they listen and care about whatever the situation may be. In the end, we won our case with results that were much greater than anticipated. I have referred Spencer and his team to many people and have heard nothing but positive feedback. There should be 6th star rating option for this law firm.
