      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      I had the pleasure of working with Stephen as opposing counsel in a divorce case with a unique fact pattern. Steve was level-headed and reasonable in his interactions while maintaining his advocacy for his client. I recommend Attorney Nelson for anyone seeking a family law attorney in Massachusetts.
