Practice Areas: Medical Malpractice, Personal Injury, Mediation, Car Accident, Contracts

I've represented clients in state and federal courts throughout Arizona for more than 3 decades. Having recently completed mediation training at Pepperdine University, I now offer my services as a mediator to assist parties and their counsel in resolving cases outside of the courtroom.  My personal experience evaluating litigation strategies, case values and probable outcomes of cases can be a valuable resource to parties seeking to resolve their legal disputes short of trial.. As a trial lawyer and litigator, I've handled prosecution and defense of personal injury claims, including medical malpractice and product liability; insurance law and litigation, including coverage and bad faith claims; contracts and contract litigation; employment law; civil rights; and general civil litigation.. I've also practiced administrative law, representing scores of healthcare providers and other licensed professionals before Arizona state licensing boards (including medical, dental, nursing, osteopathic, psychologists, physical therapy, naturopathic, chiropractic, behavioral health and veterinary boards).  I assist licensed professionals in responding to complaints filed with regulatory boards and handling of matters requiring mandatory reporting.  I provide representation in disciplinary investigations and administrative hearings, as well as handling prosecution of appeals from administrative decisions.. I'm a graduate of the University of Arizona College of Law (with distinction). My undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Science (with high distinction) in Animal Health Science, is also from the University of Arizona, College of Agriculture.. I firmly believe in the obligation of citizens to give back to their communities, both professionally and personally.  I currently serve as president of the newly formed Pima County Bar Foundation, the charitable arm of the Pima County Bar Association, of which I am a past president (2014-15).  I am on the Steering Committee of the Legal Community Against Hunger and served as both its Chair and Co-Chair from 2004-2014.  I serve on the board of the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona and from 2006-2012, I was a board member of the Foundation for Creative Broadcasting, which operates KXCI Community Radio (91.3 FM).  As a musician, I often perform for various community fundraising events.. For enjoyment outside of legal practice, I enjoy making and listening to music (primarily in the “roots” and “Americana” categories), hiking, backpacking and camping with family and friends, and travel. I've  traveled fairly extensively in Mexico as well as several other Spanish-speaking countries and I'm comfortable with oral and written communication in Spanish.

Described as a “bull dog” , a “pit bull”, and a “gatekeeper”, Attorney Elijah K. Nielson is not afraid to fight. In his first year of licensure Elijah second-chaired complex litigation involving Chinese corporations and $4 million dollars in damage claims and also took on members of the “Big 5” banking industry as a second chair in mortgage fraud litigation.. As lead attorney Elijah obtained a pre-litigation settlement of his client’s claim against a public entity, negotiated an easement dispute to final settlement, took an employer on for employment fraud, and beat down the intimidation tactics of an abusive contractor.. Not bad for a second-career attorney licensed in California since 2011 and Arizona since 2012.. “Sometimes people ask about my years of practice,” says Elijah shrugging, “but what they’re really asking is ‘Can I trust you to watch out for me?’ That’s a valid question for a client to have, no matter how long an attorney has been practicing.”. Elijah naturally understands people, and it doesn’t hurt that he has been licensed as a master’s level psychotherapist since 2004.. “Being a lawyer is not just about fighting battles in court. Sometimes it makes the most sense economically, psychologically, and emotionally to resolve problems outside of the courtroom—the real key is not simply knowing how to fight but where to take the fight,” says Elijah speaking from experience.. As an alumnus of Pepperdine Law’s Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution’s LL.M. program, ranked the number one dispute resolution program by U.S. News & World Report for the ninth consecutive year, Elijah has mediated cases throughout the Los Angeles court system, externed in China with the Beijing Arbitration Commission, and co-mediated employment-discrimination cases as an extern with U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.. “I am client centered,” says Elijah, “my goal is to advocate for my client as effectively, professionally, and efficiently as possible. That’s my bottom line.” . .
