About Eric
Eric Nelson practices law in two very different legal landscapes: Georgia and Washington. He is licensed in both states and manages matters that cross regional lines. That dual-admission informs how he approaches cases and clients.
He is part of Bothwell Law Group, where he handles the practical work that follows a multi-jurisdictional practice. He spends time preparing filings, coordinating with local counsel when needed and appearing in forums that require attention to state-specific procedures. His day-to-day work often requires alternating between the procedural norms of two separate court systems and the scheduling realities of different time zones.
Working across Georgia and Washington calls for close attention to detail. Nelson navigates differing rules for pleadings, discovery and court appearances. That means frequent checks of filing deadlines, separate research into state statutes and a steady stream of client communication to explain what each jurisdiction requires. He takes a methodical approach to these tasks, breaking complex procedural issues into steps that clients and colleagues can follow.
Colleagues describe him as practical in the office. He favors clear, direct explanations over legalese when speaking with clients. In negotiations and hearings he relies on preparation and paperwork that reflect each court’s preferences. He also places emphasis on local contacts and court clerks’ offices; those relationships can smooth routine matters and reduce surprises.
Outside of courtroom calendars, his practice involves planning that anticipates differences between state rules rather than reacting to them. That includes building calendars that reflect local holidays and clerk deadlines, and preparing materials that comply with the formatting and filing rules of each jurisdiction. For clients whose matters touch more than one state, that planning reduces friction and keeps cases moving.
As of 2026, Nelson continues to practice at Bothwell Law Group, serving clients in Georgia and Washington and handling the practical demands that come with a multi-state practice.
