About Our Firm

Your trusted legal partner. With a wealth of experience and dedication, we provide tailored solutions for all your legal needs.

The Client's Needs Come First

A Legacy of Partnership

The firm began in 1981 as the Law Offices of Lawrence E. Nelson, located in beautiful downtown Puyallup. Mr. Nelson established the firm's reputation for its dedication to clients, outstanding service, and community involvement.

Over the years, Mr. Nelson enhanced the firm by adding attorneys and staff with unique experience that applies directly to advising and serving our clients. As a matter of fact, many of our attorneys had successful careers before they became attorneys. Having "been there" adds great depth to our ability to advise our clients.

For more than 40 years, the attorneys at Nelson Allen Walk & Scott, PLLC have cultivated a legacy of partnership with one another and with the community. Jeff, Dan, and Chelsea all grew up right here in Pierce County and are excited to continue a partnership not only with each other but also with the community — just as Mr. Nelson envisioned and embodied.

When a choice must be made, the client's needs are the determining factors.
