About Chad Nelson

While growing up, Chad had an appreciation for the law and service by watching his own family. His father has practiced law in Oklahoma for 40 years, and his mother has spent more than 20 years in ministry and non-profit. This sense of community and his passion for helping others steered him toward a legal career. Chad believes in understanding and empathizing with his clients' circumstances so he can best serve them. He likes to take a compassionate, people-first approach to casework and is well-prepared to fight for his clients in court.

As a proud Oklahoman, Chad received both his undergraduate degree and a law degree from the University of Oklahoma. Before he joined DM Injury Law, he gained valuable experience working for mid-size firms in Oklahoma City. Chad is a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma City's LOYAL Program. He is a former Alumni Board Member for Heritage Hall Schools, a former Junior Board Member for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County, and a former Associate Board Member of the Oklahoma Lawyers for Children.
