Very rude. Didn't even wanna hear what I had to say. Talked to me like I was one of his homies. And then wanted 4k. Everyone else probably had a good experience with them but definitely not me

I've been robbed. They took my money $5,000 for a case. And all they did was file to be his lawyer and show up in court one day. My phone calls are never returned. the money that was not used was not returned. I did everything for the case sent all paperwork in to the DA to the investigator followed up with the DEA call the DA's office every day. And they still won't return my money. Or my calls for that matter. Run as far away from them as you can.

Excellent and Professional Attorney.
I was arrested for a suspected OUI. The arresting officer was very unprofessional and very inexperienced. I refused a breathalyzer test due to the poor way I was treated. After I was released on my own recognizance, I contacted Attorney Nielsen. From the first conversation, I was comfortable with him. He has done an excellent job representing me in this matter. He and his staff have always responded in a very timely matter with any questions that I had. I am from another state so this created additional difficulty. I am pleased with the outcome of this case

When I was facing a stressful legal matter in Maine I contacted Attorney Chris Nielsen after researching lawyers and reading many positive reviews. Chris was a pleasure to work with, and my case was ultimately dismissed after completing community service. The office staff kept me well informed and got all of my questions answered in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Attorney Nielsen if you need a defense attorney in Maine.
