Helping hand

She's a God send and a helping hand during a very difficult time. I can't imagine going through this process with anyone else. I'm very thankful for her expertise.

Choose Another Attorney

In February of 2018, I entered into an agreement for representation in a custody matter with Ms. Suzanne Nelson and the now defunct Nelson Family Law Firm. The agreement was for legal guidance and representation at a hearing that was rescheduled from the previous year. During the time awaiting the he...aring, I requested actions of resolution to conclude the case. Her uninvolved representation has not created any forward movement in my case. Over and over I have represented myself on legal matters without support from this attorney. She did not subpoena witnesses, gather any research outside of court, or advance the case in any way. I have no record of any actions taken on behalf of the case though I have made verbal and written requests for documentation. I tried to terminate this attorney with a written termination letter and she still appeared in court and only sat silently and watched the proceedings. The “wait and see what happens” approach has been the main course of action in my case. I have actually researched, downloaded legal paperwork, completed it, and done my own work on the case. I would like to point out, I am not a licensed attorney and I entered into this agreement in good faith thinking I would have an advocate who would work hard with me to bring this case to a close and that didn’t happen. The situation is the same as it was one year ago. My requests for a written cost of any action taken in this case have not been honored and this attorney has refused to return my retainer. I encourage you, if you are contemplating hiring this attorney. Choose someone else.

I was hired to represent you for your custody case not the other matter you filed by yourself. I have no control over any case that you filed on your own without retaining me.

Why I like my lawyer

Suzanne's knowledge and professionalism helped me through a challenging period in my life. Divorce is not easy but having an attorney of Suzanne's caliber, coaching, guiding and reminding me in being fair made the hard decisions easier. Emotions can get in the way during a divorce but having the righ...t counselor reminding you everything will work out is priceless. If you are thinking about divorce or just need some initial advice of what to expect if you move forward with your decision, I would highly recommend Suzanne and her firm.

A Great Choice

Suzanne Nelson is a very capable and compassionate attorney who's able to see through the woods to get to the root of legal issues and provides wise counsel surrounding Family Law. She's also an experienced trial attorney and she really shined before the Court presenting my case to a satisfactory con...clusion before a jury. One never wants to have to go to Court, but when I had to I was pleased that she represented me and effectively presented my case and interests.
