Services
Our mission at Ronald W. Nelson, PA is to help solve family law disputes in the best and most respectful ways possible for our clients. We know that family law disputes are difficult for our clients and their children. We strive to work both in and out of court to help our clients anticipate, resolve, and avoid the difficulties and complexities that sometimes occur in family law disputes.
Over the years, we've found that the most important advice we give to our clients is what we say in our first meeting. That first meeting - and the advice we give during - is often critical to how the problem is later handled. And it can make thousands-of-dollars difference in final litigation costs.
Despite what many people think, family law is a complex area of the law. What might seem like a simple question often involves a detailed analysis of the law and applicable facts. Family law is not "black and white." State statutes do not specify exactly how the courts are to decide any case or issue.

My friend just called his office after trying to get help with a child support situation. I was shocked to hear someone (not even Ronald Nelson himself) tell my friend over the phone that they basically weren't going to help her with the support that she needed. There was even one point in the phone call where the lady we were talking to asked "do you understand what I'm saying?" and spoke to her in a condescending tone for the majority of the call. Spending our time calling this law firm was not helpful, and surprisingly unprofessional for a supposedly professional practice.

I worked with Ashlyn
They say getting divorced is never easy. Add to that getting divorced after 10 plus years to a very mentally ill spouse during a pandemic. I could not have done it with out Ashlyn. During the consultation with Ashlyn she did something that she may not have even realized. She gave me hope, with her understanding of the mental illnesses that my ex spouse has. Ashlyn gave me hope by her experience being a guardian ad litem (an attorney representing the child and what the best interest is for the child.)
After she took my case, Ashlyn used her skills and ability to calm down

Extremely expensive. He rarely answered my questions and when he did, it was half answers where it left me more confused then relieved. After less than 2 months of discussion and 1 court hearing, his law firm charged me $10,000. I ended up leaving him and his law firm without an actual divorce [my spouse and I worked on the arrangement out of court]. Run, do not walk away from this attorney. They really are there for the money and not really helping the client. And unfortunately, they did not care about me as a client and my situation both financially and personally.

Warning!!! Do not pay the $500 consult fee. Usually the initial consult with an attorney is free so I thought I was getting the best since there was a charge and his website states the most valuable information comes from the initial consult. He gave me ZERO useful advice.... nothing that I did not already know through common sense. The initial consult is a complete rip off. I felt that he was purposely withholding his knowledge rather than give advice even though he charges for consult. He talks in circles and says nothing! Consulting with him was literally a waste of time and money. He

After paying the consult fee I hired Ron and went forward. After two months he had charged me outrageous fees for simply responding to the minimal emails of my case. I hired him for a focused, specific hearing but yet he charged me fees for being copied on emails relative to their parts of my case that were not relevant. I expressed concern multiple times to no avail, and then when I stood firm that I needed to cut him out of the irrelevant legal emails he told me he was withdrawing for "ethical" grounds. His story is good, but there's no merit or truth to it. Further, he tried to
