I was involved in a rollover accident, in which I broke my back and my handicapped passenger was also injured. We were struck by a car whose driver was texting. The firefighters called to the scene of the collision had to use a crowbar to free us from my vehicle. Along with the physical pain following a motor vehicle collision, comes the stress of the insurance claims, doctor’s appointments and a knee jerk reaction to driving. Staci was the lawyer who handled my case, after a friend referred her to me. She was always available at any time at her office or by phone. She kept me informed weekly and checked on our wellbeing. I liked that she was always well informed and smart as a whip!!! I would recommend her services to any of my friends or family members who need a professional lawyer!

In 2007, I was injured at my job working for large, well-known company. The injury damaged my lungs and my immune system. Over a period of years, because of all of this, my emotional and mental state declined to the point that I became totally disabled in 2011.

My employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier paid me up until 2016 and then decided to stop, leaving me with Social Security Disability as my only source of income.

I called many law offices and attorneys who were not even willing to talk to me about my case. I was convinced that was because of the company I worked for when I was injured. Then a friend recommended that I contact Staci.  

Because of my illnesses, I was completely housebound, but Staci did EVERYTHING for me over the phone, through emails and through the mail!! Never requiring me to leave my house!! 

She was not the least bit intimidated by my ex-employer, their attorneys or the workers’ compensation people!! She was able to settle my case out of court and got me a very large settlement amount!!

I finally had the pleasure of meeting Staci in person when she came to my home to sign all of the settlement documents. She is so kind, caring and personable. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me. We are still in contact occasionally, just to check in on one other. With Staci Hartman-Nelson as your attorney, you also gain a friend.

In November 2020, I hurt my back at work. At the time, I thought all I had done was pull a muscle, so I didn’t say anything to my employer. I thought the pain would work itself out but it instead continued for the rest of that week. After resting my back over the weekend, on Monday morning when I bent over to feed my cats, I had a really bad pain in my back and had to have an ambulance take me to the hospital, where I stayed for a week. While hospitalized, an MRI showed that I had two slipped discs and one ruptured disc. The ER Dr. questioned if I had done something, besides simply bending over to feed my cats to cause these injuries. I explained that I had hurt my back at work the week before and the Dr. said that was most likely what caused my injury. I informed my employer of the Dr.’s opinion and told them that I need to file a workers’ compensation claim. After waiting weeks for the workers’ compensation insurance carrier to finish their investigation of my claim and being off work for three months, they denied my claim. 

That is when my search for legal representation began and after talking to two other Attorneys, I called Hartman-Nelson Law Office and scheduled a meeting with Staci. When I met with Staci, I brought every bit of paperwork that I had with me and I explained to her what had happened. Staci agreed to take my case, told me she would take all the paperwork, and most importantly, not to worry. It was like lifting the weight of the world off my shoulders! 

Staci ended up having to file my claim with the Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court but before trial, the insurance company asked if we were interested in mediating the case. We agreed and at the end of the negotiations, Staci was able to obtain a very good settlement for me.  

I am so glad that I called Staci and will recommend Hartman-Nelson Law Office to all of my friends and family. 

Staci and her team made me feel comfortable and supported from the beginning. They helped make a traumatic situation less stressful and complicated.  They are knowledgeable and were determined to negotiate until obtaining a fair on my behalf. Staci always kept me informed about the progress of my case and of my options regarding how to proceed. Even in moments that were emotionally draining, I felt her support and trusted that everyone was doing everything they could do to push my case in the right direction. I will refer family and friends and utilize Hartman-Nelson Law Office again in the future, if needed.

Thank you for helping me!

Staci and her team were wonderful to work with!  Staci was always professional, informative and understanding.  Staci was able to guide me through the turmoil of a world that I hopefully will not have to visit again. I paid no retainer or money upon retainer her, yet I never felt slighted or like she treated me any differently than she would any other client.  I trusted her totally through the entire process. Staci and her team did all of the work and I reaped the rewards and benefit of a fair settlement. I appreciate all their hard work and would highly recommend Hartman-Nelson Law Office!

I was involved in an automobile accident on the Interstate that left my car totaled and me needing medical attention. At first, I thought I could manage the bills and communications from the insurance company for the at-fault party myself, but it quickly became apparent that I needed advice and assistance. A friend’s daughter recommended Staci Hartman-Nelson to me after having worked with her and being extremely satisfied with the result.

Staci clearly understood the law and how to negotiate with the other parties involved to ensure that my needs were met and I was properly compensated. Staci was encouraging and professional at all times. She listened to me. She was supportive and helpful in making my claim real, while considering my needs and the impact the collision had on my life, while sharing what she believed was the fair and realistic settlement value of my claim.

Staci communicated clearly with me throughout the entire process, all the way from the initial consultation to the final settlement disbursement. To this day, I am grateful to have been referred to her and for her legal expertise. I have already recommended her to a colleague whose daughter was injured in an automobile accident, and I will continue recommending her, without reservation, to anyone in need.

"In 2013 my pregnant wife and our other two children were in a car accident. A truck hit them from behind while they were stopped at a stop sign. I can remember being very concerned when my wife called me at work to tell me about the accident and that she was on the way to the hospital for observations of her and our child she was pregnant with. 

After having a child born three months early at 1 lb 12 oz, and trying to balance life between our kids at home and a three month hospital stay at the NICU at UNMC, life was challenging to say the least. 

The insurance company of the person who caused the accident contacted my wife and me and asked us if we’d consider a settlement with them. Not ever experiencing anything like this before, I reached out to a trusted friend who practices law in Arizona. My friend told me to have a lawyer help us as this was something we did not want to try and negotiate on our own. My friend checked with some colleagues he had in the Omaha area, and after talking to several of them my friend told my wife and I we needed to contact Hartman-Nelson Law Office. My friend told me that several other lawyers in the Omaha area had great things to say about Hartman-Nelson Law Office and their ability to get results.

My wife and I called Hartman-Nelson Law Office and spoke to Staci. Staci took the time to listen to what had happened to our family and recommended we come to her office for a consultation. After the recommendation from my friend and meeting with Staci in person we knew Staci was the right person to help us.

Thank you Hartman-Nelson Law Office for your efforts on my family’s case. We’re thankful for everything you did on our case, allowing us to focus on our family."

"Ms. Hartman-Nelson made us feel comfortable from the minute we walked into her office. She was confident about our case which took a huge weight off our shoulders. She asked us to hand her our entire folder of documentation we’d been collecting ourselves for months before deciding to hire an attorney. She said, 'I’ve got this now – don’t worry about spending one more minute working on or worrying about this.' During the time she worked on our case, she was always accessible, approachable and friendly. We were very impressed with her attention to detail and careful research. She thoroughly answered all our questions before, during and after we met with the opposing council and the Judge. Ms. Hartman-Nelson worked diligently for us and ultimately we won our case! We are very pleased and highly recommend Staci Hartman-Nelson."

"My husband and I met Staci Hartman-Nelson in 2008 during a very difficult time in our life. Our lives had just been turned upside down and we needed help. We did not know where to turn and we needed someone to help us navigate the legal system. When we met Staci, she put us instantly at ease by showing her compassion and concern first for our situation, and then calmly telling us what we needed to hear. Staci wanted us to focus on our recovery and she would focus on the rest. Because Staci has such a calming presence, we instantly trusted her and we have never regretted placing our trust in her. She explained every step of the process to us and we always believed that she had our best interest at heart. We were blessed to have found Staci and have her on our side and fighting for us. We did exactly as she said, we focused on recovering and let her handle the rest. That was the best decision we could have made. Her compassion and genuine caring for us made all the difference. We are so thankful to Staci."

"A few years ago, I was involved in a traffic accident. I was fortunate enough to receive a referral to Hartman-Nelson Law Office. After the experience, I have had only positive things to say and will be glad to give her name to anyone who may be in need of the services she offers!

From the time I first contacted the office, Staci and her staff impressed me with their professionalism and knowledge. They explained every aspect of how the process would work. Any time that I had questions or concerns, I always received a quick and informed response. At no time did I have to wonder how my case was progressing, as I received updates as they developed. 

When I had plateaued with my medical improvement, Hartman-Nelson Law Office wrapped up my case in a timely fashion. When the settlement was final, Staci handled all of the medical expenses and I receive my settlement. I was very satisfied by what she was able to negotiate. She took care of all of the details and made sure that everything was thoroughly explained to me at the end of case."

"Staci was the best attorney that I have ever worked with. She was there to answer all my questions and help me with whatever I needed. It was as though I was talking to family member with the hospitality that she treated me with. I was able to focus on my recovery after my accident and not worry at all about anything else because I knew she had it all under control. I would highly recommend her to family or friends with a personal injury or workers' compensation claims.

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I found that Staci and her staff were very professional and caring people. My case was a little complex since it was a slip and fall case. The fall was caught on surveillance. It was long and drawn out, but I hear that is normal. I was dealing with personal family issues at the same time and after a long time, I called Staci and told her I was willing to settle out of court, if the other party would. She told me it was up to me and in no way pressured me to take it to trial. She felt we had a good solid case, but I had been under so much stress from my husband’s health issues and the suit, I felt it was best not to go to court and Staci accepted my wishes. I appreciate what they did for me."

"Staci and her receptionist were very compassionate and helpful to my family in my time of need and I would refer Hartman-Nelson Law to anyone that would need her expertise."
