About James Nelson
I believe that representing clients is a great responsibility and privilege. I take a personal approach to each client and to each case. You will have direct contact with the attorney handling your case, never having your legal matters handled by a paralegal, secretary or associate attorney.. As an experienced litigator with over 17 years of experience, I have experience handling the following types of cases, child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support/alimony, marital property division, allocating debt, QDRO's, dividing retirement accounts, enforcement, modificaition, orders of protection, domestic violence and juvenile matters. If you are contemplating filing for divorce, or your spouse has filed for divorce, please contact me. I will counsel you on the divorce process and help you prepare for the future.
