In our experience, we found that Leslie lives up to her promises and philosophies 100% of the time. She is also so compassionate and easy to talk to. Actively listens during the initial consultation and then provides a realistic opinion of the case followed by a robust and specific plan of action. This is what stood out the most to me due to the fact that this is similarly how I operate when working with my clients. Another thing that made securing Leslie for our legal representation is that fact that she's a straight shooter who clearly communicated to my wife and I how her fees would accrue and to whom certain tasks would be delegated to (Paralegal Assistant) in an attempt to keep our costs as low as possible. Looking back on this unfortunate situation, that my wife and I found ourselves in, it still creates an emotions of sadness and unbelief that it had to come down to litigation to be resolved. We have been married for several years. We both had existing children from prior marriages, so we have what would be described as a "blended family." Over the years, my wife and I have maintained a stable home for us and the children but as the youngest of the children became a teenager, my wife was experiencing some debilitating health challenges. Coupled with the fact that we have an active teenager involved in extra curricular activities, undoubtedly our expenses increased and income decreased which in turn created financial challenges. My wife's former employer happened to be friends with Leslie and upon her learning about our situation, she quickly referred us to Leslie and made the introduction. Me being one who reads Google Reviews before making a purchasing or hiring decision, browsed the Olson-Olson webpage and found this quote that really stood out to me, "Our philosophy is pretty simple: we like serving you well. We like making you happy. We do that by listening carefully to what you tell us. We do it by working hard for you. We do it by applying to your case, the wisdom and skill gained from years in and out of the courtroom." Let me tell you that we found that Olson-Olson thoroughly lives us to their philosophy! Here's a snippet from Leslie's bio, "The story of money reveals the truth and can often tip the balance in questions of credibility..." and let me say it again, that just recalling the events that led up to and throughout our legal case revolving around unpaid and overdue child support, almost brings me to tears. Yes, in our case the story of money revealed some ugly truths. My wife's ex husband was order to pay child support all along; dating back several years! Since this order pre-dated me, I wasn't fully aware of the facts, but it had always bothered me that her ex wasn't paying the full amount of child support. I won't go into all the horrendous details as to why this person wasn't paying their fair share of child support, but I will say this... Leslie made it crystal clear that just because a woman remarries, her ex isn't excused from their financial obligations. When confronted with this matter of unpaid and overdue child support, the ex challenged the claim and because of that it was set for arbitration. Throughout that process, Leslie was super organized, thoughtful in how she prepped us to give testimony and masterfully gathered and analyzed financial evidence that ultimately resulted in a very favorable resolution for us. If you're dealing with a Family Law issue and you have questions about who's the best to hire to represent you, I highly recommend Leslie Olson & Olson-Olson, PLLC without hesitation. They have the character, resources and a host of other legal expertise that will get you the desired outcome! Thank you Leslie, Mark & Greg! We appreciate you!

We have referred numerous clients to Nelson Boyd over the years. They are prompt, courteous, empathic, and battle to the end for their clients. Its no surprise that they have won multiple industry acknowledgements. I highly recommend them as they truly care for their clients’ interest first.

Deborah Nelson and this firm receive my highest praise and recommendation. Their dedication and attention to detail went above and beyond expectation. I could not have endured dealing with my insurance carrier (after a car wreck caused by an uninsured motorist) without them. I am grateful I had their representation and support throughout this endeavor.

Nelson Boyd Attorneys represented me in a bicycle crash and did an excellent job. They are a caring, professional team, where I got the benefit of them both working on my case together. Each brought their individual strengths to my representation. As much as a legal intervention is an inherently stressful undertaking, Nelson Boyd made the experience as low-stress as possible. They did this by being good listeners, providing assurances that they were fighting for me, providing prompt and excellent communications, and always doing what they said they would do. My suit was settled satisfactorily (they worked on contingency) prior to reaching court, which was preferable since it took nearly two years to get to that point-- though not due to any fault of Nelson Boyd. Going to court would likely have taken another six months or longer. My case involved personal injury and I would highly recommend this team to anyone needing this sort of representation -- and probably other issues, as well. At minimum, it will be worth your while to call them to discuss your problem.

Highly recommended legal team for personal injury--especially cycling-related--based on their diligence and expertise. Outcome far exceeded expectations.

Update ::7/24::Well I really just wanted to make another review, excuse we have honestly used the services Deborah and Jeff a couple more to times. All I can say is how prompt they are, the knowledge is impeccable, and the skills they need to show off their talents. Well… I have ALWAYS been beyond thankful to have these two EXPERIENCED EXPERTS ON OUR SIDE. THANK YOU…. FROM THW BOTTOM of our toes to the tip of our heads. If any of you want to know what’s good for you ??put them on your team. You will not regret it. T & H This is hands down the best team and office I have to say. I used this law firm in 2006 when my 20 year old son passed away, and this TEAM went to bat for our family far and beyond our imagination with their knowledge and research to WIN our case favorably. I have again come back to use this law firm again recently, when I was rear ended while sitting at a stop sign. Once again Deborah and her team put together another favorable outcome in our favor. These are the most caring attorneys with a back bone to go get it done. They have knowledge and the drive to go to bat for you. I would NEVER go to anyone else for ANY legal matters.

Leslie is strategic, honest and incredibly hard working. To say that she will stand by your side is an understatement, she will step in front of a team of opposing counsel and defend her client and her client’s rights. My case was a mess, I had gone through 3 lawyers (one who claimed, to be one of the best lawyers in Western Washington and from the largest divorce firm in the city, his representation and work was atrocious) looking for someone who would look deep and hard at the facts and I finally found that in Leslie. Leslie did a wonderful job representing me through the case and trail. The custody for my divorce was a mess where my ex had nearly unlimited funds, a team of lawyers who were constantly stirring up trouble. My ex who was struggling with intense emotional issues that got scary. I didn’t have unlimited funds and only wanted what was fair. I wanted what I earned financially to go to the kids and protection for the them while their father received the treatment. Leslie knows the law, she knows real estate, she knows business valuations, she knows how stock works with vesting schedules, she knows how taxes work in divorce, she knows how to structure an unambiguous custody agreement, so in high conflict situations the parties don’t end up in mediation every six months. She explained the tradeoffs and strategies we had to get through, the process and helped me be clearly informed on what my choices were. With her guidance we made the right decisions as a team. She always took the high road and was results driven, it paid off in SOO many ways. My case was an international case where my husbands’ assets were hidden overseas, and Leslie worked tirelessly to make sure we represented the factual picture. If my ex and his legal team hadn’t refused to be even remotely reasonable, we could have settled without going to trial but that wasn’t the case. We had to go to trial and my goodness, the difference between a good trial attorney like Leslie was clear! She was able to get a substantial award in attorney fees and exactly what I needed. She pushed me to be reasonable and it paid off, in hindsight this was one of the best things that I did in my case and without having so much trust in Leslie the results might not have been the same! It was extremely hard to achieve these results; I never gave up and neither did she. I would recommend her to anyone and would put my name behind her as the best attorney I have ever met (and I work for one of the large tech firms in a legal division). Family court is hard, not having an attorney who is skilled in so many different subjects can result in a less than favorable result. Leslie was laser focused in trial, efficient, she and I were our little two-person team and she was worth well beyond EVERY DOLLAR she earned in representing me. On a personal note, she cared about what was happening to me and was the strength I needed to stand up for my rights and my kids. Actions speak louder than words and having an honorable hard-working attorney who takes the high-road pays off. Leslie never made promises she couldn’t keep but instead explained the situation and how the law looks at things, how courts work. Where all my previous representation promised they would get the harassment to stop and protect us it would take months of me begging for help before they would even draft letters to opposing council to ask for him to stop his behavior. Leslie filed motions to mediate nearly immediately on a time sensitive issue to protect my daughter and action is clearly something she is great at.

Deborah and Jeff are by far the most amazing attorneys in Seattle! I cannot thank them enough for the time, patience, care, and attention they put into my case. I actually had another attorney who ended up quitting on me after months of wasting my time because he accepted a job somewhere else. I was so scared and nervous about what would happen to my case. I walked into their office and all of that fear melted away. They took over my case and handled every single thing that came our way with such grace and professionalism. They fought for me until the very end and my case settled for more than I could ask for. Jeff and Deborah changed my life and are now a part of my family. If you are looking for a personal injury attorney Deborah and Jeff are the only ones you should be going to. I cannot thank them enough.

Love this team! From day one they were on top of every aspect. Filings, documents, discovery.... It made it easier to start the healing, not having to worry about the legal aspect of all this. Very professional and assertive towards getting a positive resolution for me. Deborah, Jeff, and the entire staff were a pleasure to work with and I'm honored to call them friends. If there is a way to help you, they will give it full measure!

I am delighted to provide an endorsement of the attorneys and staff of Nelson Boyd. My experience with this firm was sterling from the beginning to its most successful end. Nelson Boyd exhibited the highest degrees of professionalism and compassion. Their knowledge of personal injury and insurance law is exemplary, and they applied their expertise with fantastic clarity and effectiveness. Most importantly, my case was handled with empathy, and I was treated with the utmost respect. You will find the same. Thank you, Nelson Boyd!
