Nelson Family Law opened its doors in 2008 and has been proudly serving the community focusing exclusively on family since then.

Patricia brings over twenty years of family law experience to each client whether the issues are financially complex involving high net worth clients, self-employed parties, salaried clients, property division, child and spousal support, parenting and high conflict parenting along with paternity cases.

Patricia uses a multi-disciplinary and considered approach to address issues for lasting results. Business valuators, specialized accountants/finance professionals, medical health professionals and parenting experts are examples of the experts called on to assist in the resolution process.

The most prudent resolution avenue is carefully examined and together with the client, his or her strategy is developed.
