Gordon Stanley Nelson

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.

I had the privilege of having Gordon Nelson as my attorney during my divorce. He listened to my concerns throughout the entire process. He is experienced, very responsive, knowledgable, and honest. I consider Gordon a friend. He was extremely professional and I would recommend him to anyone who n...eeds to hire a family law attorney.

I had a 100% positive experience working with Gordon as my divorce attorney. Gordon is respected in the law community and was able to help me navigate a divorce and legal proceedings with minimal stress, cost, and disruption to my life. Gordon is a great combination of assertive, knowledgeable, res...ponsive and accessible. For the services he provides he offers a great value as well. He did a fantastic job representing me throughout the entire time he worked on my case- I would highly recommend Gordon Nelson to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Smooth talker over the phone but he didn't show much enthusiasm in the court room. He was more concerned with keeping a good rapport with the judge and opposing attorney than defending me. Was late for several court dates which ended up costing me since I also had to pay child attorney fees. There we...re also a couple of occasions that he didn't file the correct paperwork. He also rescheduled several court dates and charged me court time to just sit around for hours waiting to reschedule. After about a year of no progress in my case, mostly due to rescheduling, I got tired of getting nickeled and dimed and fired him.

I used Gordon and his partner, Dean Taradash, for my divorce. I had two other attorneys before them and I wish I had just started with Gordon and Dean to begin with. It would have saved me a lot of trouble and money. They were very good at keeping me informed of what was going on and what it all... meant. With my first two lawyers, I always felt like things were just happening and were kind of out of control -- like the case just moved along with no rhyme or reason. With Gordon I had a big-picture view of what I should expect when and how things were going to be accomplished. He always delivered. They also returned phone calls. THAT was a huge plus! I had a problem recently with my ex not following the court orders. I have a guarantee from this law firm that they'll enforce any order in my case for free. I didn't believe it but when I called them, they immediately wrote my ex and called my accountant and got everything in order in a few days. They didn't charge me a dime. I really, really recommend them.
