Areas of Practice
Divorce
We guide clients through every aspect of the divorce process, from start to finish. The divorce process largely entails property division, spousal maintenance, debt allocation, and the development of fair and workable agreements. Whether your case is straightforward or high-conflict, we work to protect your interests while promoting a resolution that supports long-term stability.

At Nelson Law Office, we advocate for parents and children in all child custody and parenting time matters, always keeping the best interests of the child at the forefront. We provide clear, strategic guidance through negotiations, mediation, and litigation when necessary. Whether you are seeking to establish, modify, or enforce a custody arrangement, our firm is committed to protecting your parental rights and your child’s well-being.
Post-Decree Issues
When issues arise after a court ordered is entered, such as when your divorce is finalized, whether regarding parenting time schedules, child support or spousal support obligations, or compliance with the order, we help clients pursue enforcement or modifications to protect their rights and maintain stability.
Estate Planning
Nelson Law Office offers thoughtful estate planning services designed to protect your family, assets, and legacy. We help clients create clear, effective plans that include wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives, all being tailored to our clients’ unique needs. Our goal is to provide peace of mind by ensuring your wishes are honored and your loved ones are cared for.
Adoption & Third-party Custody
From stepparent and relative adoptions to requests for termination of parental rights and more complex custody matters, we provide careful, compassionate representation to families expanding or restructuring in meaningful ways.

My husband and I were looking for a lawyer to help us with a step-parent adoption of our oldest daughter, and Nelson Law Office LLC was recommended to us. We had an amazing experience. Summer was attentive, very kind and considerate, and did everything in her power to keep us informed and less overwhelmed with the whole process. I will forever be grateful to her for helping our family. 100/10. Thank you so much Summer Nelson!

I had such a great experience working with Summer at Nelson Law Office. Family law stuff can feel really stressful, but Summer made everything so much easier to understand and navigate. From the first conversation, I felt listened to and supported — she was patient, kind, and always made time for my questions. She walked me through the process step by step, explained my options in a way that actually made sense, and gave me so much peace of mind during a tough time. I never felt rushed or like “just another case.” Summer truly cared. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who’s knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely compassionate, I can’t recommend Summer at Nelson Law Office enough. I’m really grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to send anyone her way.
