“HERO” Doesn’t Do Paul Enough Justice, No Other Attorney Comes Close!!! There is no one, absolutely no one, I would want to have my back other than Paul Phipps. He is razor sharp, misses nothing and is always one step ahead of where you “should” be in your best interest, all the time. He has your back, believe me. Above all, he is a good man, with a good heart and he can read people very very well. He’s a great dad (takes one to know one) and for all you dad’s out there, finding a great dad to advocate for you is a must. Time with your kids is the only battle worth putting everything on the line for and I’m telling you all, there isn’t anyone I would want to be in the same foxhole with back to back, for the greatest battle of your life, than Paul. With Paul’s guidance along the way, we came prepared to win and while you never know any outcome in court, we won big. I just couldn’t see another attorney pulling off what he was able to do and the way he did it. He gave me enough insight to appreciate how much of what he does is truly art. He relates to you, understands you, validates you and doesn’t waste a minute of your time but will make himself available for all the time you need. For my situation, the other side was unwilling to give an inch, not an inch all year long...that is until Paul worked his magic, which makes the outcome all that more impressive, and he did it when it mattered most. He read the other side so well and we ended up with last second agreement that checked all the boxes for me instead of leaving it in the hands of the judge. He was also very generous with me with his time and didn’t charge me for many hours that he could have easily done, and if he did it still would’ve been entirely reasonable and worth it. If he ever raises his rate, Paul would always be worth every penny and then some. If you’re ever going up against a well-known, tough, local attorney with an impeccable reputation and unbelievable track record...put him up against Paul. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

From our first consultation, I knew Seth Nelson was the right attorney for my divorce. It was a very difficult time for me and my children. I trusted him as he always kept our best interests in mind. He truly helped me transition through the divorce and his confidence is contagious. His staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I would absolutely recommend Seth Nelson.
— Sarah
I found Seth to be empathetic with a realistic view of the process and potential outcomes. The firm delivered on all they committed to and were excellent at sticking to time frames. Most importantly, they connected to me as an individual. I never felt I was just another client. Because of this I strongly recommend Seth and his team without reservation.
— Manny
I cannot say enough good about this law firm. From start to finish and everything in between, the team was there. Seth exceeded my expectations always during hearings and was absolutely incredible at the final hearing. I wish I could say that our case is forever done, but as with a lot of custody cases, we will have to go back, and we will definitely hire Seth and his firm again. They are wonderful group; from Shawn at the front, Desereah and Sherrie in the back behind the scenes doing research and preparations that are phenomenal when you get to trial, and Seth carries it from there. He is prepared, ready and geared up for trial. I can’t imagine going to trial without Seth Nelson by my side. Again, this group is AMAZING!

I used Seth Nelson to mediate my divorce case and he did an excellent job. We reached a resolution and we were able to finalize our divorce. I would recommend Seth to anyone looking for a good family law mediator to help settle your divorce.

While going through a difficult divorce, I found great comfort in having the Seth R. Nelson firm representing me. The thought of making the right decisions at such an emotional time was overwhelming, but I knew without a doubt, that they always had my future and my best interest at heart; I was not alone. They quickly gained my trust and guided me through each step of the process. I felt safe having them on my team – in my corner. They were responsive, knowledgeable, organized, proficient and caring, and missed nothing! Following their lead, I was able to look at the situation from a different point of view; they were the voice of reason. I cannot recommend them highly enough!! The VERY best by far!!

Nelson Law Group took on my daughter’s case with regards to obtaining her permission to grant U.S. Passport with an absent parent. From the very beginning Seth was upfront and honest with me about all of my options and continued only with the best interest of the child. This case was resolved in our honor favorably because of Nelson Law Group’s expertise. All staff was diligent and genuine in follow-up and follow-through. Highly recommend this firm!

Seth is a fantastic lawyer who is competent, reliable, smart and hard-working. During my divorce process, I always felt like I was getting the attention I needed and was reassured to know that he was my lawyer during such a difficult time. I was impressed that Seth knew the differences among the judges and how to use that in his approach. He was on top of the constantly changing nature of my case and continued to apply a new perspective if needed. I am very pleased with the outcome of my divorce and could not have done it without the skill and expertise of Seth. He is also a good person who is dedicated to his clients and makes them feel they are a priority.

Paul was absolutely fantastic with this hearing. He was there every step of the way and made this adoption easy. This firm is so easy to work with and it was such a pleasure to work with Paul.

Paul has helped me with multiple cases (3 total) dating back to 2013. I love how honest he is about the process and setting realistic expectations on the end result. He is very understanding and empathetic to difficult situations and open to discussing different options you may have in a case. Every case has ended in the desired outcome and because of Paul my daughter and I are safe and not stressing about custody and family law issues. I highly recommend him for any case involving children, whether custody, relocation, or temporary/emergency orders.

Mr Phipps was phenomenal with my divorce case. He was there every step of the way, he is always on point when it comes to reaching out and getting things done. I was scared about the situation but after talking to him, I felt much better because he took ownership of my case and treated it like his. I just want to thank you for everything.
