I am single mom of four kids and a school teacher. I was referred to Mr. Llabona after my children’s father and his lawyer tried not only to take child support away from me and our children but were demanding that I pay money to him even though I had all the kids most of the time! I wasn’t being listened to by my former lawyer and I knew something was very wrong with what was being demanded. I went to Mr. Llabona and I was listened to. By the time we had our first consultation Mr. Llabona found several “errors” the opposing lawyer had made in filing paperwork and interpreting paperwork. He fought for me and my kids and we won. His office communicated with me regularly. His firm was transparent, professional, and super knowledgeable! I recommend Mr. Llabona 100 percent.

The best Lawyer ever
Despues de varios años de sufrimiento, lagrimas y descepciones con otros abogados de Familia y largos procesos de corte, felizmente encontre al Señor Llabona que fue quien finalmente logro que mi caso se cerrara. Con Mr Llabona senti por primera vez que hubo justicia en mi caso de custodia y childsuport. Mr Llabona no solo es un abogado muy centrado y con vastos conocimientos, sino que el tambien es muy HONESTO Y HONRRADO, dos grandes cualidades que no abundan mucho en este field. Mr Nelson y todo su equipo de trabajo son personas maravillosas, muy respetuosas y siempre pendientes del proceso. En todo momento senti que me apoyaban y me guiaban. Considero que sus honorarios son justos y equivalentes a la atencion y los conocimientos con que lleva a cabo la defensa del caso. Si pudiera darle 100 estrellas a su practice se la daria y definitivamente recomiendo altamente los servicios de Mr Nelson Llabona si quieres ganar tu proceso legal.

Great Service!
We received excellent advice and then superb execution on the plan once we decided what to do. The issue was about alimony and it worked out in favor, just as Nelson described. Thank you!

Top Notch Professional!
Mr. Llabona assisted me with an uncontested divorce. He kept me informed throughout the process and was very responsive to my calls and emails. Mr. Llabona provided counsel to ensure the marital settlement agreement and parenting plan addressed all important scenarios and were in my best interest and that of my child. He was always patient and respectful. Mr. Llabona is knowledgeable and thorough and I highly recommend him as an attorney without reservations.

Looking for a fair, patient and good family attorney? Nelson is your guy!
Nelson was referred to me by someone else who had used him for a child support case. I hired Nelson to help me sell a marital home that my ex-wife wanted to stay in after our divorce. He was very fair with his charges, patient with me when I had to gather information for him and helped immensely when we had to go to court. In the end I was able to sell the home and move on with my life again. Thanks again Nelson!

Child Custody
The Llabona law firm handled my child custody case with extreme care, and even checked back with us after the case was over to see how everything was going. Nelson was a wonderful attorney and always answered all of our questions quickly. His personal attention was huge, he made it seem like I was working with a friend and not just an average attorney.

Definitely someone you want.
I will enthusiastically recommend Nelson Llabona to represent you during your divorce or child custody proceedings. During my divorce, which went from uncontested to contested, and through mediation before concluding just before a trial, Mr. Llabona made himself readily available for all my questions, answered them swiftly, kept me informed of every future necessary step as well as possible outcomes and accounted for every minute of time spent on my case. His knowledge of Florida law and procedural acumen continually impressed me, and I cannot imagine having had better representation during this time.

Wish I had found him when I filed for divorce...
Nelson Llabona will work hard for you. After continuous filings, my ex had me in court so many times I had to hire an attorney to help me. From the very beginning Nelson showed true interest in me and my case, even took time on his day off to meet with me to prepare for our court appearance. His research into my case was outstanding, I could tell he spent a lot of time on charts and spreadsheets to ensure that no stone was left unturned. His communication with me was excellent, he followed up with me on a regular basis through emails and phone calls. Nelson Llabona is a lawyer whom I trust and highly recommend.

Fantastic Work
Mr. Nelson Llabona did fantastic work on my child support case. I had a difficult time hiring a good lawyer for my case until I hired Mr. Nelson Llabona. Mr. Llabona did every research that helped my case before my child support hearing. You need a good lawyer when dealing with the Department of Revenue (DOR). The DOR will get over on you if you do not get a good lawyer. I would be paying lots of money towards back pay child support without Mr. Llabona's legal representation. In addition, Mr. Llabona got the Judge to lower my monthly child support payments. I would be either in jail or homeless if it was not for Mr. Nelson Llabona taking my case. I strongly recommend that you hire Mr. Nelson Llabona if you have to deal with the Department of Revenue (DOR) concerning child support.

Stronge Commitment
Posted by Orlando, a Divorce client .
Llabona, helped me file a comptempt against my ex. He was very honest and informative and handled everything in a timely manner. When the court date came he had his hands full with my ex unexperienced lawyer. He was professional and had a sense of humor that helped even the worst moments. Needless to say we won. Llabona did not overcharge me and was very reasonable when invoicing for his time.
Nelson Llabona is the lawyer everyone wishes they found right away!

Excellent, Caring and Compassionate Lawyer
Attorney Llabona is handling my contested divorce case. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and responsive. He keeps you informed and his counsel is superb. I started my divorce case through self-representation and after too many battles with the father of my child and his Attorney, I decided it was in my best interest to hire an Attorney. I am extremely impressed with his work this far, although the case may be far from being settled. Very detailed oriented. I could have not hired a better lawyer.

Strongly recommend
I strongly recommend Nelson as a Divorce Lawyer. I worked with him in very unusual circumstances, while I was living and working overseas in different time zones. Although this often made our communication challenging, Nelson understood and persevered for more than two years. He is very responsive and fair and encouraged me to do what he thought was necessary to get what I legally deserved, while sharing his legal opinion at every step along the way. If I disagreed on his strategy in my case, he provided me his opinion as counsel, and fully supported the direction I wanted to take. I felt that he took a personal, moral interest in reaching a fair and rightful outcome for me and my children, without any undue bias towards his own business interests or personal gain. I believe Nelson is an energetic, prompt, honest, caring and decent man and I would work with him again, without question, if the need were to arise. I feel he is one of the few quality people I know in this world and to find that in a lawyer, for most of us, is not an easy task. I not only respect him for his abilities as a lawyer, but I respect him as a man.

Beyond Satisfied
I am beyond satisfied with my choice of Llabona law group representing me in a child custody case. I was referred to this group by a court house meditator. Nelson Llabona kept me informed every step of the way. He reassured me that all of my concerns were legitimate. As well as encouraged me not to settle for anything less than what my sons' deserved. When it came to trial, Nelson guided me through the questioning and prepared me for the apposing councils aim. Thank you Llabona Law group for securing my children's best interest at heart!
