Tad Nelson & Associates

Houston & Galveston Criminal Defense Attorneys — Who We Are

Tad Nelson is one of a select group of attorneys in Texas certified as an ACS/CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist, a credential held by fewer than 1% of criminal defense attorneys nationwide.

Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1996, and holding a Master's degree in Forensic Toxicology, Tad brings a level of scientific and courtroom expertise that most Houston defense attorneys simply cannot match.

A former Assistant District Attorney with 500+ jury trials and 35+ years of experience, he and co-counsel Amber Spurlock defend clients facing criminal charges, DWI cases, family law matters, and personal injury claims across Houston, Galveston, and surrounding counties.
