Family Law & Mediation
Family law cases are typically known for carrying the most severe emotional, psychological and financial consequences in the entire New York City legal system. The issues usually stem from having to do with one’s treatment of children, the sufficiency of support payments and whether orders of protection are required to shield one family member from another. SL Nelson Law Firm PLLC can tap into the emotional atmosphere of a case, and carefully assess the best possible approach.
