Paul was really great! He took the time to understand my divorce case and explain things clearly during our call, learning what my main concerns were and how to mitigate those. He knew his stuff and had a very common sense approach, he didn't unnecessarily dramatize thing's like many attorneys tend to (as our case is relatively simple). I would highly recommend. Thanks Paul!

Paul represented me from day one and was, most memorably, an excellent negotiator, in addition to being fair, pragmatic, and at all times professional. My ex burned through three firms over the course of 9 years and none matched the savviness that Paul's skills exhibited in and out of the courtroom. Paul was absolutely pivotal in resolving the case, and he provided the personal attention, at all hours of the day or night. His billing was always fair and always felt I was receiving the best value money could buy.

It’s no secret lawyers primarily look out for themselves and their wallet. Paul is the extreme opposite that truly gets it. His goal is to avoid court and not waste funds on legal and emotional currency. Since I hired him, my pending issues have been resolved and I haven’t seen the man in the black robe once. This guy picks up the phone all hours of the night and gets it done. Paul is the man… 1000% legit! Don’t waste time with other attorneys, they’ll just drive you nutz.

After paying way too much money to another attorney for post-divorce nonsense I finally found Paul. Upon interview, I decided that he was the right choice and hired him. During our work together, I found him to be personable, compassionate and confident - all attributes I needed after working with someone who was knowledgeable, but not personable; professional, but not compassionate. Paul is skilled at what he does so he made me feel well represented and he is honest so I never doubted his allegiance. He is serious when he needs to be serious and uses humor when it's appropriate to do so. He helped finalize the nonsense that the previous attorney left undone and made sure that I felt confident with the final agreement. We were so pleased with how he handled things that a few months later, when another matter came about we hired him again. And again, he was on top of it. He helped our family to feel safe in an unnerving situation and then took care of things for us so that we didn't have to worry. While I'm relieved to have family court behind us, if we (or someone I know) ever need a family law attorney, Paul would be my first call.

Paul Nelson was attentive, always got back to me and helped me resolve an issue that was time sensitive.

Paul and his firm have been so very helpful during these past months where my ex has filed unnecessary motion after motion running up attorneys fees for both of us. Paul has prevailed on each one so my ex decided to pretend to be a current client and leave a fake review. I just could not sit back and let this happen. Paul is incredible in court as is his partner Graham. The judges all know him and respect him-you can see how they treat him differently than other attorneys. Both partners are Certified Family Law Specialists - only a small percent of Attorneys have that distinction. Thank you to Paul and Graham of Nelson Kirkman Family Law

I had a top quality consultation with Paul Nelson about my domestic violence custody case. He is very knowledgable and helpful explaining clearly the steps to take. I would highly recommend him for your family case. I couldn't have received better advice and grateful to have connected to him through Avvo.

In 2008 I filed for divorce after 20 years of marriage. I only wished I had been referred to Paul Nelson back then, instead of any one of the four attorneys I left over the next 3 years. Not one of them cared about my case, or responed to any information I gave them. Within three days of my Judgment, my Ex stopped paying me. I turned to a friend who I met just before my divorce was final, and asked her to please give me the name of her lawyer. She had been quite happy with him and she got a good result. I met Paul Nelson. Paul has been nothing but a God send for my post-divorce work for the past four years, which is quite often. My Ex continues to stop paying support routinely, whick is challenging since I have a brain tumor, and don't need the additional stress. Paul had to help with everything that the "other lawyer" forgot to put in the Divorce Judgment, that I wouldn't even know to ask for, such as being taken off the mortgage on the house that I Quit Claimed to my Ex. Paul has exceeded my expectations at all times compared to any of the other lawyers I had. Paul has been nothing but kind, compassionate, and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that I will get what I am entitled to now. I am always amazed that, at last, I like and ADMIRE a GREAT LAWYER. He is the most ethical and honest lawyer I have met in Orange County. Paul has been supportive and gone the extra mile many times for myself and for my friend that referred me to Paul. Please do yourselves a favor and read the reviews of divorced people. Don't hire a lawyer or law firm by name, or from a neighbor that "heard about someone". Divorce is very emotional and stressful and you should go through it with someone who cares about your life after your divorce and well being. You need a lawyer who will be there for you for the long haul, not pass you off to a "lawyer in learning". Hire someone who will care about You, be compassionate, understanding, and intelligent. Hire the lawyer who will get you everything you deserve and are entitled to. Hire the lawyer who will communicate with you personally. That lawyer in Orange County is Paul Nelson. I can count on Paul always, and I know he is there for me no matter what work I'll need in the future.

Paul is extremely caring and wants the best for me and my children, After working in OC for years Paul knows the procedures the court's staff and most all the Judges and attorney's.. This is especially helpful when preparing for his appearances. He is especially knowledgeable with Family Law and does an excellent job making sure my rights are protected. I have not observed any other attorney stand up the same way Paul does.

I have a great attorney with Paul!! He has integrety and morals. He does what he says for you and is very hard working!! I couldn't give him a higher rating!! He's courteous and handlles himself wiithprofesssionalism!!

Not one of them cared about my case, or responed to any information I gave them. Within three days of my Judgment, my Ex stopped paying me. I turned to a friend who I met just before my divorce was final, and asked her to please give me the name of her lawyer. She had been quite happy with him and she got a good result. I met Paul Nelson. Paul has been nothing but a God send for my post-divorce work for the past four years, which is quite often. My Ex continues to stop paying support routinely, whick is challenging since I have a brain tumor, and don't need the additional stress. Paul had to help with everything that the "other lawyer" forgot to put in the Divorce Judgment, that I wouldn't even know to ask for, such as being taken off the mortgage on the house that I Quit Claimed to my Ex. Paul has exceeded my expectations at all times compared to any of the other lawyers I had. Paul has been nothing but kind, compassionate, and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that I will get what I am entitled to now. I am always amazed that, at last, I like and ADMIRE a GREAT LAWYER. He is the most ethical and honest lawyer I have met in Orange County. Paul has been supportive and gone the extra mile many times for myself and for my friend that referred me to Paul. Please do yourselves a favor and read the reviews of divorced people. Don't hire a lawyer or law firm by name, or from a neighbor that "heard about someone". Divorce is very emotional and stressful and you should go through it with someone who cares about your life after your divorce and well being. You need a lawyer who will be there for you for the long haul, not pass you off to a "lawyer in learning". Hire someone who will care about You, be compassionate, understanding, and intelligent. Hire the lawyer who will get you everything you deserve and are entitled to. Hire the lawyer who will communicate with you personally. That lawyer in Orange County is Paul Nelson. I can count on Paul always, and I know he is there for me no matter what work I'll need in the future.

Paul is extremely caring and wants the best for me and my children, After working in OC for years Paul knows the procedures the court's staff and most all the Judges and attorney's.. This is especially helpful when preparing for his appearances. He is especially knowledgeable with Family Law and does an excellent job making sure my rights are protected. I have not observed any other attorney stand up the same way Paul does.

I have a great attorney with Paul!! He has integrety and morals. He does what he says for you and is very hard working!! I couldn't give him a higher rating!! He's courteous and handlles himself wiithprofesssionalism!!

Paul was really great! He took the time to understand my divorce case and explain things clearly during our call, learning what my main concerns were and how to mitigate those. He knew his stuff and had a very common sense approach, he didn't unnecessarily dramatize thing's like many attorneys tend to (as our case is relatively simple). I would highly recommend. Thanks Paul!

Paul represented me from day one and was, most memorably, an excellent negotiator, in addition to being fair, pragmatic, and at all times professional. My ex burned through three firms over the course of 9 years and none matched the savviness that Paul's skills exhibited in and out of the courtroom. Paul was absolutely pivotal in resolving the case, and he provided the personal attention, at all hours of the day or night. His billing was always fair and always felt I was receiving the best value money could buy.

It’s no secret lawyers primarily look out for themselves and their wallet. Paul is the extreme opposite that truly gets it. His goal is to avoid court and not waste funds on legal and emotional currency. Since I hired him, my pending issues have been resolved and I haven’t seen the man in the black robe once. This guy picks up the phone all hours of the night and gets it done. Paul is the man… 1000% legit! Don’t waste time with other attorneys, they’ll just drive you nutz.

After paying way too much money to another attorney for post-divorce nonsense I finally found Paul. Upon interview, I decided that he was the right choice and hired him. During our work together, I found him to be personable, compassionate and confident - all attributes I needed after working with someone who was knowledgeable, but not personable; professional, but not compassionate. Paul is skilled at what he does so he made me feel well represented and he is honest so I never doubted his allegiance. He is serious when he needs to be serious and uses humor when it's appropriate to do so. He helped finalize the nonsense that the previous attorney left undone and made sure that I felt confident with the final agreement. We were so pleased with how he handled things that a few months later, when another matter came about we hired him again. And again, he was on top of it. He helped our family to feel safe in an unnerving situation and then took care of things for us so that we didn't have to worry. While I'm relieved to have family court behind us, if we (or someone I know) ever need a family law attorney, Paul would be my first call.

Paul Nelson was attentive, always got back to me and helped me resolve an issue that was time sensitive.

Paul and his firm have been so very helpful during these past months where my ex has filed unnecessary motion after motion running up attorneys fees for both of us. Paul has prevailed on each one so my ex decided to pretend to be a current client and leave a fake review. I just could not sit back and let this happen. Paul is incredible in court as is his partner Graham. The judges all know him and respect him-you can see how they treat him differently than other attorneys. Both partners are Certified Family Law Specialists - only a small percent of Attorneys have that distinction. Thank you to Paul and Graham of Nelson Kirkman Family Law

I had a top quality consultation with Paul Nelson about my domestic violence custody case. He is very knowledgable and helpful explaining clearly the steps to take.

My ex burned through three firms over the course of 9 years and none matched the savviness that Paul's skills exhibited in and out of the courtroom. Paul was absolutely pivotal in resolving the case, and he provided the personal attention, at all hours of the day or night. His billing was always fair and always felt I was receiving the best value money could buy.

It’s no secret lawyers primarily look out for themselves and their wallet. Paul is the extreme opposite that truly gets it. His goal is to avoid court and not waste funds on legal and emotional currency. Since I hired him, my pending issues have been resolved and I haven’t seen the man in the black robe once. This guy picks up the phone all hours of the night and gets it done. Paul is the man… 1000% legit! Don’t waste time with other attorneys, they’ll just drive you nutz.

After paying way too much money to another attorney for post-divorce nonsense I finally found Paul. Upon interview, I decided that he was the right choice and hired him. During our work together, I found him to be personable, compassionate and confident - all attributes I needed after working with someone who was knowledgeable, but not personable; professional, but not compassionate. Paul is skilled at what he does so he made me feel well represented and he is honest so I never doubted his allegiance. He is serious when he needs to be serious and uses humor when it's appropriate to do so. He helped finalize the nonsense that the previous attorney left undone and made sure that I felt confident with the final agreement. We were so pleased with how he handled things that a few months later, when another matter came about we hired him again. And again, he was on top of it. He helped our family to feel safe in an unnerving situation and then took care of things for us so that we didn't have to worry. While I'm relieved to have family court behind us, if we (or someone I know) ever need a family law attorney, Paul would be my first call.

Paul Nelson was attentive, always got back to me and helped me resolve an issue that was time sensitive.

Paul and his firm have been so very helpful during these past months where my ex has filed unnecessary motion after motion running up attorneys fees for both of us. Paul has prevailed on each one so my ex decided to pretend to be a current client and leave a fake review. I just could not sit back and let this happen. Paul is incredible in court as is his partner Graham. The judges all know him and respect him-you can see how they treat him differently than other attorneys. Both partners are Certified Family Law Specialists - only a small percent of Attorneys have that distinction. Thank you to Paul and Graham of Nelson Kirkman Family Law

I had a top quality consultation with Paul Nelson about my domestic violence custody case. He is very knowledgable and helpful explaining clearly the steps to take. I would highly recommend him for your family case. I couldn't have received better advice and grateful to have connected to him through Avvo.

In 2008 I filed for divorce after 20 years of marriage. I only wished I had been referred to Paul Nelson back then, instead of any one of the four attorneys I left over the next 3 years. Not one of them cared about my case, or responed to any information I gave them. Within three days of my Judgment, my Ex stopped paying me. I turned to a friend who I met just before my divorce was final, and asked her to please give me the name of her lawyer. She had been quite happy with him and she got a good result. I met Paul Nelson. Paul has been nothing but a God send for my post-divorce work for the past four years, which is quite often. My Ex continues to stop paying support routinely, whick is challenging since I have a brain tumor, and don't need the additional stress. Paul had to help with everything that the "other lawyer" forgot to put in the Divorce Judgment, that I wouldn't even know to ask for, such as being taken off the mortgage on the house that I Quit Claimed to my Ex. Paul has exceeded my expectations at all times compared to any of the other lawyers I had. Paul has been nothing but kind, compassionate, and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that I will get what I am entitled to now. I am always amazed that, at last, I like and ADMIRE a GREAT LAWYER. He is the most ethical and honest lawyer I have met in Orange County. Paul has been supportive and gone the extra mile many times for myself and for my friend that referred me to Paul. Please do yourselves a favor and read the reviews of divorced people. Don't hire a lawyer or law firm by name, or from a neighbor that "heard about someone". Divorce is very emotional and stressful and you should go through it with someone who cares about your life after your divorce and well being. You need a lawyer who will be there for you for the long haul, not pass you off to a "lawyer in learning". Hire someone who will care about You, be compassionate, understanding, and intelligent. Hire the lawyer who will get you everything you deserve and are entitled to. Hire the lawyer who will communicate with you personally. That lawyer in Orange County is Paul Nelson. I can count on Paul always, and I know he is there for me no matter what work I'll need in the future.

Paul is extremely caring and wants the best for me and my children, After working in OC for years Paul knows the procedures the court's staff and most all the Judges and attorney's.. This is especially helpful when preparing for his appearances. He is especially knowledgeable with Family Law and does an excellent job making sure my rights are protected. I have not observed any other attorney stand up the same way Paul does.

I have a great attorney with Paul!! He has integrety and morals. He does what he says for you and is very hard working!! I couldn't give him a higher rating!! He's courteous and handlles himself wiithprofesssionalism!!

Paul was really great! He took the time to understand my divorce case and explain things clearly during our call, learning what my main concerns were and how to mitigate those. He knew his stuff and had a very common sense approach, he didn't unnecessarily dramatize thing's like many attorneys tend to (as our case is relatively simple). I would highly recommend.

I met Paul Nelson. Paul has been nothing but a God send for my post-divorce work for the past four years, which is quite often. My Ex continues to stop paying support routinely, whick is challenging since I have a brain tumor, and don't need the additional stress. Paul had to help with everything that the "other lawyer" forgot to put in the Divorce Judgment, that I wouldn't even know to ask for, such as being taken off the mortgage on the house that I Quit Claimed to my Ex. Paul has exceeded my expectations at all times compared to any of the other lawyers I had. Paul has been nothing but kind, compassionate, and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that I will get what I am entitled to now. I am always amazed that, at last, I like and ADMIRE a GREAT LAWYER. He is the most ethical and honest lawyer I have met in Orange County. Paul has been supportive and gone the extra mile many times for myself and for my friend that referred me to Paul. Please do yourselves a favor and read the reviews of divorced people. Don't hire a lawyer or law firm by name, or from a neighbor that "heard about someone". Divorce is very emotional and stressful and you should go through it with someone who cares about your life after your divorce and well being. You need a lawyer who will be there for you for the long haul, not pass you off to a "lawyer in learning". Hire someone who will care about You, be compassionate, understanding, and intelligent. Hire the lawyer who will get you everything you deserve and are entitled to. Hire the lawyer who will communicate with you personally. That lawyer in Orange County is Paul Nelson. I can count on Paul always, and I know he is there for me no matter what work I'll need in the future.

Paul is extremely caring and wants the best for me and my children, After working in OC for years Paul knows the procedures the court's staff and most all the Judges and attorney's.. This is especially helpful when preparing for his appearances. He is especially knowledgeable with Family Law and does an excellent job making sure my rights are protected. I have not observed any other attorney stand up the same way Paul does.

I have a great attorney with Paul!! He has integrety and morals. He does what he says for you and is very hard working!! I couldn't give him a higher rating!! He's courteous and handlles himself wiithprofesssionalism!!

Paul was really great! He took the time to understand my divorce case and explain things clearly during our call, learning what my main concerns were and how to mitigate those. He knew his stuff and had a very common sense approach, he didn't unnecessarily dramatize thing's like many attorneys tend to (as our case is relatively simple). I would highly recommend. Thanks Paul!

Paul represented me from day one and was, most memorably, an excellent negotiator, in addition to being fair, pragmatic, and at all times professional. My ex burned through three firms over the course of 9 years and none matched the savviness that Paul's skills exhibited in and out of the courtroom. Paul was absolutely pivotal in resolving the case, and he provided the personal attention, at all hours of the day or night. His billing was always fair and always felt I was receiving the best value money could buy.

It’s no secret lawyers primarily look out for themselves and their wallet. Paul is the extreme opposite that truly gets it. His goal is to avoid court and not waste funds on legal and emotional currency. Since I hired him, my pending issues have been resolved and I haven’t seen the man in the black robe once. This guy picks up the phone all hours of the night and gets it done. Paul is the man… 1000% legit! Don’t waste time with other attorneys, they’ll just drive you nutz.

After paying way too much money to another attorney for post-divorce nonsense I finally found Paul. Upon interview, I decided that he was the right choice and hired him. During our work together, I found him to be personable, compassionate and confident - all attributes I needed after working with someone who was knowledgeable, but not personable; professional, but not compassionate. Paul is skilled at what he does so he made me feel well represented and he is honest so I never doubted his allegiance. He is serious when he needs to be serious and uses humor when it's appropriate to do so. He helped finalize the nonsense that the previous attorney left undone and made sure that I felt confident with the final agreement. We were so pleased with how he handled things that a few months later, when another matter came about we hired him again. And again, he was on top of it. He helped our family to feel safe in an unnerving situation and then took care of things for us so that we didn't have to worry. While I'm relieved to have family court behind us, if we (or someone I know) ever need a family law attorney, Paul would be my first call.

Paul Nelson was attentive, always got back to me and helped me resolve an issue that was time sensitive.

Paul and his firm have been so very helpful during these past months where my ex has filed unnecessary motion after motion running up attorneys fees for both of us. Paul has prevailed on each one so my ex decided to pretend to be a current client and leave a fake review. I just could not sit back and let this happen. Paul is incredible in court as is his partner Graham. The judges all know him and respect him-you can see how they treat him differently than other attorneys. Both partners are Certified Family Law Specialists - only a small percent of Attorneys have that distinction. Thank you to Paul and Graham of Nelson Kirkman Family Law

I had a top quality consultation with Paul Nelson about my domestic violence custody case. He is very knowledgable and helpful explaining clearly the steps to take. I would highly recommend him for your family case. I couldn't have received better advice and grateful to have connected to him through Avvo.

In 2008 I filed for divorce after 20 years of marriage. I only wished I had been referred to Paul Nelson back then, instead of any one of the four attorneys I left over the next 3 years. Not one of them cared about my case, or responed to any information I gave them. Within three days of my Judgment, my Ex stopped paying me.
