Gordon Stanley Nelson

I would not recommend Gordon Nelson as a divorce lawyer. I saw how his approach often escalated tension rather than helping to resolve the issues at hand. He seemed to encourage a more contentious path, at times even using sarcasm and manipulative tactics. There was a lack of balance in his approach,... and I felt that his actions inadvertently contributed to the alienation of a parent, which is especially concerning for the well-being of children involved in divorce proceedings. If you're seeking a lawyer who will help navigate the complexities of a divorce in a fair and ethical manner, I would suggest looking elsewhere. It's important to have someone who understands the emotional and legal nuances of divorce, particularly when children are involved, and I did not see Mr. Nelson meet those expectations.

Gordon has helped me through my divorce and custody agreement. He is very insightful that he not only protects what is needed for now but also for the future. He made the entire process easy and smooth for me and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. He is clear, smart and confident . He was ver...y speedy and efficient and did not waste any time to file the orders and get it signed by the judges.

Gordon was my attorney through an arduous 3 year divorce and post decree battle with my ex-husband. From day one, he guided me through emotional and difficult problems my case brought and effortlessly navigated the exceedingly complicated geography of Cook County Family Court with great ease. He has ...a keen awareness of the various judges and the changing laws, which gave him a major advantage over the other attorney in my case. Gordon is fair, honest, and prompt and although being very straightforward, has a way about him that comforts his clients during an exceedingly difficult time.

Gordon helped me through my divorce and was extremely informative through the entire process. He was responsive if I had questions or concerns and the costs were very transparent and fair. I would recommend Gordon to anyone going through a divorce or with questions about what may happen if they decid...e to progress.
