CRIMINAL DEFENSE:

Before shifting his practice to representing serious injury and wrongful death cases, Nelson O. Tyrone honed his trial skills handling a variety of State and Federal criminal defense cases. Several of his victories on behalf of clients who had been wrongfully accused of crimes were the first such losses for the District and United States Attorney’s Offices prosecuting them.

United States v. Carla Kinsey, In the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia:

Nelson represented a real – estate appraiser wrongfully accused of being involved with individuals, including a real-estate developer, committing mortgage fraud “flips” throughout Southwest Atlanta. Through exhaustive preparation, Nelson was able to show the jury how his client was a victim of the fraudster’s scheme rather than a participant. After a grueling three-week trial, Nelson was able to send Mrs. Kinsey home to her severely disabled daughter. She had faced over twenty years in prison had she been found guilty by the jury.

United States v. Hoa Quoc Ta, In the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia:

Hoa Ta acted foolishly to impress a girl and introduced her to some people he thought were “in a gang” who worked at the same factory with him. When the girl and her boyfriend stole money from the gang, they turned to Hoa and his family for repayment. After months of extortion, death-threats and beatings, Hoa agreed to try to help two of the gang-members find their money. When the men were caught, Hoa was charged along with them with conspiracy to commit kidnapping, carjacking, and distribution of drugs. Nelson and his team were able to show the jury the truth of the case: that Hoa was not a criminal, and that the gang had left him no choice – help us, or we hurt your family. After sitting in jail for nearly 18 months awaiting trial, Hoa was able to return home to his family after the jury took just three hours to return a verdict of “not guilty”.

Jane Doe v. State of Nebraska, In the Superior Court of Cook County, Nebraska:

Jane Doe (to protect the victim’s identity) sued the State of Nebraska Felony Probation Supervision Unit for failing to protect her from a high-risk probationer (her former boyfriend) who began stalking her when released on probation. Although Jane complained numerous times to his probation officer, the officer, responsible for supervising probationers over a 200 square mile area, took no steps in response to her complaints. Jane’s stalker ultimately broke into her home, assaulted her and sexually molested her before the police could arrive. For failing to take reasonable steps to protect Jane from a known danger, the State of Nebraska was ordered to pay the largest verdict of its kind in Nebraska history.
