Western Slope Law - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Nelson has always been an incredible legal resource for our family, and was the only person we trusted to get us through our issues with our insurance company. He carefully guided us through what we should expect from the insurer, and laid out a plan that was attainable. The stress of a traumatic event can be debilitating, but Nelson had an approach and an ability to talk to us like we were members of his own family. In the end, we were compensated above what we expected, and are confident that our choice of legal counsel was the primary reason.

We would highly recommend his practice. His references and achievements also speak volumes to the kind of person he is.

Nelson was so kind and understanding with my situation. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained things in a simple but effective way. Hopefully I never have another issue but if I do I’d call him 1000x over.

I have been practicing law in Colorado for 42 years and have known Nelson Waneka both professionally and personally. He is an excellent trial, injury and appeal attorney. He is a great legal writer and is very knowledgeable in insurance matters. Nelson is honest, fair, compassionate, hard working and devoted to his clients and to his family. Simply put, Nelson is one of the best attorneys I know and I highly recommend him.

Recently my husband and I found ourselves in the uncomfortable position of needing legal representation. We somewhat naively thought we could take care of things ourselves but quickly realized that we were being taken advantage of and really not capable of understanding legal speak. That is when we contacted Nelson. He immediately put us at ease, explaining things in plain English. I cannot tell you how much handing the situation over to Nelson changed an ugly situation into a minor annoyance. I would recommend him anytime to anyone. Thank you Nelson and team for your assistance!!!

If you’re in need of legal assistance, I would highly recommend you contact Nelson Waneka. I had that very need last fall. Nelson is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, personable, and professional. He will look at your case as his first priority. His communication throughout the legal process is second to none. I can say with confidence that this is the attorney you want.

Nelson Waneka saved me from years of paying off an insurance claim that would have derailed my life. After getting into a car accident, the hospital and insurance wanted far more than I could ever pay and instead of being saddled with that debt, Nelson negotiated and got it down to a reasonable amount.
Had it not been for Nelson Waneka I would have been a slave to that debt and I am forever grateful that he made it possible for me to pay what was fair and move on with my life.
I have no reservations in recommending him to anyone who finds themselves being pushed around. He's a professional, but a scrapper which is what you need when up against large entities who are used to getting their way just because most folks don't have the means to fight them.

When my car was badly hit by a semi truck with me and my 2 year old daughter in it I contacted Nelson at Western Slope Law and I’m very glad I did. Since day 1 he has thoroughly seen to every detail both medical and legal. I would have been totally lost and likely taken advantage of by insurance companies without his expert help.
