Paul J. Nelson Esq. - Newport Beach, CA

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.

I've chosen this attorney thinking he'd be aggressive about defending my (and my family's) best interests. His firm and him, somehow, made me feel like they were a good team. It's been a few months now, that I'm paying him, seeing him in action and, as I'm doing more research, I realize he's a very shady guy. I don't know what I was thinking to hire this incompetent. I was too impulsive I think. This has gone so far now that it's very hard for me to consider switching to another attorney (he's my second)... divorce is hard enough as it is. Him and his firm are there for money, not to help you (nor your family) go through the most difficult time of your life in the best possible, maybe even mutually advantageous, way; They couldn't care less about your family. They'll hold your money, for sake of protecting your interests, risking to put you in even deeper trouble, costing you even more money to get out of (vicious circle to rip you off)... I don't know what I'll be doing from here on but 1 recommendation to all of you out there, considering Paul Nelson as a family lawyer. Don't. Just don't. Stay away from this shady guy. He's a crook that's going to try to make you feel like he's your partner but don't fall for it. Do your research; don't choose impulsively like I did.
