Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Richard qualified as a solicitor in 1975, before joining Freeth Cartwright & Sketchley where he became a Partner in 1980. He went on to form Nelsons in 1983, which, as Senior Partner, he helped build up to become one of the largest 50 firms in the country. Then in 2003, he left Nelsons to establish Richard Nelson LLP.

Professional, responsive, helpful and kind

I’m so very grateful to have had Richard represent me. He listened and offered sensitive and considered advice. He always responded to queries in a timely manner and above all he was very kind and sympathetic to a difficult situation, managing to achieve a positive outcome.

Richard Nelson himself represented me. He was amazing from the get go. He really understood my needs and what I was wanting. He was very patient with me and took his time to get me the result I wanted. He drafted a brilliant response I could have only dreamed upon. He did not rush me on our initial chat. I would highly recommend .

Mr. Richard Nelson LLP was a very friendly and helpful man. We were glad to have him as our advisor during the period in England. Also during the monthes after the stay he gave a lot of support in solving the problems we had. Thanks a lot and good luck in your career.
