Eric Carlisle Nelson

Divorce happens. If you're in it; you know the unimaginable stress involved. Everything in my life was impacted; family, my business, home, and my sweet girls. My situation was made worse with an extremely unhappy spouse. I suspect most people going through divorce share a similar experience. ...Speaking with Eric Nelson provided near instant relief. His calm manner and keen insight put me at ease. His focus on divorce and custody have given him a wealth of knowledge and expertise. His intelligence and confidence made him a champion at the arbitration table and in the court house. I always felt I was in good hands. My ex-wife was really unhappy. I'll leave it at that. Eric helped me secure a very reasonable settlement. I retained my business. Most important; I share 50/50 custody with my girls. That's what I really wanted. I'll always feel indebted to Eric for that.

Mr. Nelson helped me with my case modification of custody and child support. He was very diligent and worked extremely hard to represent me in the most professional way. Throughout my case Mr. Nelson demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the law and a keen ability to communicate with the court, both ...through written documentation and verbal argument in hearings. He zealously represented me and made me feel like I had a champion on my side during very stressful moments. Mr. Nelson worked very hard to settle our case outside the courtroom through compromise. However, the other party would not compromise forcing a trial to occur. His brilliance in the courtroom led to a favorable outcome. Mr. Nelson won the argument and sole physical custody of my son was awarded to me. I would highly recommend using Eric Nelson to represent anyone in a complicated family law case, especially custody modification.

Eric's natural calm, quiet, upbeat attitude and easy acceptance helped to make getting my divorce simple. And his quick handling of details, and knowledgeable responses to my questions was a godsend. I never once had to wait to hear from him; he got right back to me and eased my mind in every insta...nce.

To whom it may concern: A divorce is unimaginably stressful. You feel powerless and to make matters worse, you feel like the process favors the mother over the father. All that time you spent working to provide for your family may now be used against you in an attempt to keep things "stable" fo...r the kids by leaving them mostly in the care of their stay-at-home mother. It's not the courts fault; they play it safe, and that usually means at your expense. If you're like me then you're saying hell no. You worked those hours knowing when you came home, the kids would be there. Now that it can't happen, the rules have changed, but somehow you're expected to work those same long hours. If you're like me, you want to have your kids at least half time. It sucks, but it's better than just the weekends. You also need assurances your future ex-wife can't shack up with some looser and take your kids with her. You want joint physical custody. What I needed was a superhero to make it happen. I needed someone to defend my rights, stand up for me, for truth, and justice for all. It's the "all" part that Eric is best at. Stand up for your wife? Think about it, the best divorce attorneys take everything into account and advise you from the perspective of their vast experience; the kids' needs, your needs, and yes, your ex-wife's needs. The best thing you can do is hire Eric to defend your interests. The second best thing you can do is have your ex-wife hire him. On either side, he's on the right side. He was the rock I depended on, he was my knight in shining armor, and I don't know how I could have made it through the divorce without him. Professional, wise, and above all trustworthy. Eric got me joint legal, joint physical custody, with essentially equal parenting time. All of the financial issues were very fairly resolved too (equal division of the marital estate, child support pursuant to the guidelines, and spousal maintenance that was very limited in amount and duration). And Eric achieved all this without us ever having to go to Court. I highly recommend Eric C. Nelson.
