Gordon Nelson is NOT my attorney...he is family period. During my child visitation and custody issues he consistent went way above the call of duty to insure that as a father my rights were strictly enforced. He was the voice that many fathers wish they had that fought for me to get awarded full custody of my son and I am extremely grateful. Now my son and I are newly relocated to North Carolina beginning a fresh start.
