Nelson Garcia has again proven to be an excellent and highly effective litigator. I retained Mr. Garcia in 2010 going through a very complex divorce/custody case and helped me win exceptional victories for my family. Throughout the years he has represented me on several cases with outstanding results. My recent circumstances seemed insurmountable and chaotic. Nelson was not be distracted by my EX's allegations. Nelson was focused on what was important and building an impressive strategic plan. He is dedicated and always followed up on my concerns or new issues treating it with the utmost importance. Nelson is extraordinary meticulous and prepared. Staying late nights in his office, flexibility with phone conferences and preparing for trial was well worth it when Mr. Garcia executed his skills in court. Nelson is the epitome of professional, my go to in face of turbulence.

Nelson Garcia provided exceptional representation in multiple cases for me, one a complex divorce matter involving multiple businesses and the other a restraining order. His knowledge of the law and the litigation process is exceptional. His ability to build a strategic argument and execute the same was phenomenal. This included that Attorney Garcia expertly hand-wrote a settlement agreement with many complexities which was then negotiated with opposing counsel, even though it occurred in a time-constrained fashion and with expert craftsmanship. I very highly recommend Nelson Garcia for any family law case no matter the level of complexity. He treats the client as a partner in the legal matter providing information in a clear manner to ensure that you know pro's and con's of each choice. He has great respect for the judges and this respect is mutual, based on his courtroom conduct.

Nelson ensured I got a fair and accurate settlement. He also took the time to help me understand the divorce process. It was my first time using a lawyer and I found him to be very patient and empathetic during such a difficult time in my life.

Nelson Garcia exudes an ideal combination of professionalism, competency and empathy. Due to his clear, concise explanations I always left his office aware of exactly where I stood and what was coming down the pipe. Am excellent listener with a high level of emotional intelligence allowed for Nelson to advise in my best interest according to the law as well as my comfort level. Phone calls and emails were always returned promptly. Meetings were meaningful and time sensitive. Tasks were carried out expeditiously. Nelson counseled and encouraged me through a difficult period and yielded excellent results.

I am please to highly recommend Nelson A. Garcia to anyone who seeks a good lawyer to speak with integrity, truth, get to the facts of the case, and have a good understanding of the law in any jurisdiction. He was well-prepared for my case recently. He honed in on the facts of the case. He was honest with me about any weaknesses in my case. And, he was ethical in the courtroom. I can't say enough about the credentials of Nelson A. Garcia--he is a VERY good lawyer. If you want a highly trained and skilled lawyer, with integrity who will shoot it straight with you, I recommend you retain Nelson A. Garcia as your lawyer. Now, don't be worried if when interviewing you about the case, he ask you the same questions over and over, he's just getting his thoughts together, because as you'll see, his preparation is second-to-none when it comes to defending his client for a favorable judgement in your case.

Yes Divorce is stressful and this experience has been the hardest situation I've ever dealt with in my life. But thanks to this man Mr. Nelson Garcia I understood what I had to face. He tells you the truth and doesn't sugar coat anything. He was on top of everything in the case even making the plaintiff's lawyer look totally clueless in court. Mr. Garcia came up with creative solutions that instantly WON the case for me. Thanks to Mr. Garcia I did not have to give my Ex-husband a dime, Mr. Garcia proved that what belonged to me was mines and only mine. I highly recommend this amazing Lawyer to anyone because he gets the job done and wins!!!!
