Kyle William Nelson

Kyle Nelson is a blue-ribbon attorney. He and the Goetz Baldwin Geddes firm have represented bankruptcy estates where I served as a trustee. His organization, efficiency, research, briefing and argument skills are all superb. He was always out in front on the case and issues, making a careful study of options available, giving good counsel and then blazing the path forward. He holds my high regard.

Kyle recently represented me in a lawsuit I filed. A complicated land sale that included bankruptcy. The sale was set up erroneously by another firm. Kyle worked tirelessly through the case, which took considerable time. He always showed a clear understanding of the process and was able to inform me completely. Never did I feel alone or mislead. He had a good grasp of all details even though most of our communications were by telephone. The case was settled before trial, to our advantage.

I am writing this review from the standpoint of both a client and a lawyer. In my capacity of a lawyer I advised a neighborhood group needing to institute a major environmental judicial review of the need for a lawyer, other than me, with expertise in environmental litigation. As a potential petitioner in the case I could not be the lawyer. My search led me to Kyle and his law firm. Kyle has done an excellent job in this very complicated case. He has dug into the thousands of pages of facts and complex laws, regulations, and cases to select the best issues on which to focus. And he has encouraged me and other members of the group to give him information about the case and to critique his work. At oral argument before the judge he displayed excellent advocacy skills and impressive knowledge of the facts and law. I am pleased to give Kyle Nelson a grade A review.

Kyle did a great job on a complicated road easement case. Instead of following the tired and true approach for a case of this type (which would have ended in a drawn out court case), he was able to think out of the box and find recent case law that allowed us to prevail in summary judgement. Opposing counsel never saw Kyle's innovative approach coming! Not only did we prevail in the case, he used clever arguments to win a fee judgement that allowed me to recoup the majority of my legal expenses. Kyle possesses a great mix of legal skills, disarming personality, and Marine toughness to get the job done.

I have worked with several attorneys across the United States and Montana. Kyle Nelson's work ethic and ability to think on his feet are second to none. When diving into a case Kyle learns quickly. At trial he is confident and successful. His firm is one of the best in the business, as is recognized by local Judges. The support Kyle receives from his firm coupled with his drive and intelligence will undoubtedly propel him the top of his field. I would recommend Kyle to anyone looking for competent counsel.
