I'm Tad A. Nelson, the founder of a boutique criminal defense and DWI firm that operates under the guiding principle: “Big City Experience, Small Town Values.” For my team and me, representing clients and safeguarding their constitutional rights is a privilege, not just a job. We always put people before profits, focusing on the well-being of our clients, their families, and their peace of mind.
Our firm is located in League City, and we cater to clients in Galveston County, Harris County, and across the Texas Gulf Coast. We concentrate on criminal defense, DWI, and family law, exclusively handling family law cases in Galveston County and criminal cases throughout the region. We are proud to provide personalized, results-oriented representation, supported by genuine trial experience and advanced scientific training.
I am among a select group of attorneys in the U.S. recognized as a Lawyer-Scientist by the American Chemical Society. I also possess a Master’s Degree in Forensic Toxicology, which equips me to effectively challenge the science behind DWI charges, drug tests, and forensic evidence in ways that many attorneys cannot. Since 1996, I have been Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and I have personally conducted over 400 jury trials throughout my career.
Our clients often come to us during some of the most difficult times in their lives. Whether it’s dealing with a serious felony, undergoing a divorce, or facing a first-time DWI, we handle every case with the utmost care, attention, and dedication it deserves. We are committed to honest communication, vigorous representation, and treating every client with importance because they truly matter.
If you are confronting criminal charges or family law issues, we are prepared to help you advance with strength and confidence.
