Rowena Nicole Nelson

Hired Attorney Nelson at $1500 to represent me in my child custody case. Attorney Nelson was very vague & subdued in her representation, as she went through the motions of gathering witnesses & evidence to deliberated at my hearing. But, during the hearing, she was unprepared & unwilling to try my ...case. She told me I was going to lose my case & to consent to a child protection order. On her advise, I consented & lost custody of my son because she was unwilling to argue the merits of my case. When the judge asked her what she wanted to do, she just shrugged her shoulders to suggest "whatever." Therefore, the judge made the decision for her. The court & opposition appeared to have shaken Attorney Nelson, & instead of fighting per my argument, she advised me to consent. I'm not sure that I've ever experienced or heard an attorney under any circumstance tell their client to consent because they didn't want to fight for their client. I would not recommend her in these type of cases, particularly to father's who often have to fight for their rights as fathers.
