Gordon helped me through my divorce and was extremely informative through the entire process. He was responsive if I had questions or concerns and the costs were very transparent and fair. I would recommend Gordon to anyone going through a divorce or with questions about what may happen if they decide to progress.

I had the privilege of having Gordon Nelson as my attorney during my divorce.  He listened to my concerns throughout the entire process.  He is experienced, very responsive, knowledgable, and honest.  I consider Gordon a friend.  He was extremely professional and I would recommend him to anyone who needs to hire a family law attorney.
