Nelson William

Divorce
Child Support
Legal matters regarding children are among the most important and challenging issues addressed in the legal process. Whether through divorce, paternity, or other collateral and related actions, such as domestic violence injunctions and/or dependency cases, the Court has specific responsibilities related to welfare of children.
Child Custody and Visitation
Mr. Nelson’s areas of practice involve matters of state law. However, it is not uncommon for issues arising in other states, or even other countries, to impact matters pending in Florida. Child custody cases may be filed in more than one state simultaneously, which will present questions regarding which state court should make decisions about children. Issues regarding property in another state may impact probate or guardianship matters that have been filed in Florida.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Florida law provides individuals wide latitude in entering into contracts that may modify these legal presumptions. For example, parties who marry later in life, may have existing estate plans that would be altered or modified by the marriage. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are a tool that can be used by the parties to address, by contract, issues regarding the legal rights created when parties marry. The Will Nelson Law Firm has assisted clients in undertaking this type of planning in order to protect the interests of clients as they relate to the change in the legal status of each party through marriage.
Guardianship
Will does, however, know what that statement means to him. “I aim to find the happy medium between being a zealous advocate and a sympathetic counselor. Ultimately, it comes down to understanding the feelings at hand but, also, finding ways to advocate for the client in a manner that the client won't regret in ten years.” The work we do is emotional. Whether family law, guardianship or probate, discussions about custody, dementia or death are challenging and difficult.
Spousal Support
Mr. Nelson has both prosecuted domestic violence cases, has defended individuals accused of domestic violence, and has been involved in representing clients who are both seeking and responding to injunctions and restraining orders. Although Mr. Nelson has extensive experience in the criminal law arena, he has chosen to focus more of his time on family law issues, which include divorce, paternity, child support, alimony, child custody and related matters. This emphasis on representing family members has increasingly led to Mr. Nelson to assist clients with guardianship and probate matters and help clients plan by drafting or modifying estate planning documents, including wills, living wills, health care surrogates and powers of attorney. This drafting has sometimes been a result of divorce actions, paternity designations and other life changing events, but may also has stemmed from the desire of clients to make an estate plan that will provide for the needs of the client and the cl

Criminal Defense
Restraining Order

Employment Litigation
There are many ways to solve a grievance without resorting to lawyers. If you believe a business has cheated you, you may get help from a consumer protection agency run by your city, county, state, or federal government. Many businesses, stores, and utility companies have their own departments to help resolve consumer complaints. Some communities have an ombudsman, a government official whose job is to mediate and resolve minor landlord/tenant, consumer, or employment issues. Local television and radio stations may have programs to resolve consumer-related disputes.

Real Estate Transactions
Property Damage

Personal Injury
Yes, the lawyer’s area of expertise and prior experience are important. Many states have specialization programs that certify lawyers as specialists in certain types of law. Some legal specialties also have created their own certification programs, such as the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils, and the National Elder Law Foundation. You may also wish to ask about the type of cases your lawyer generally handles. What is the breakdown of that lawyer's practice (e.g. 50 percent personal injury cases, 25 percent divorce cases and 25 percent "other.") Keep in mind that most lawyers are not certified in a specialty, but that does not necessarily mean that a specific lawyer is not an expert in a specific field, particularly where a lawyer handles a high volume of cases in a particular practice area.
Auto Accidents

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Last Will and Testament or a "Will" is perhaps the best known and most familiar document used for estate planning. In its simplest form, a Will advises survivors and other interested parties regarding the wishes of a person who has passed away. After death, this person is known as the "decedent." The contents of a Will vary based on the the family structure, assets, debts, and other matters related to the individual who has signed the Will.
Wills
Will Nelson can help you identify your needs in Probate, Guardianship, Wills and Living Wills, Divorce, Paternity, Child Support and Child Custody.
Power of Attorney
Probate involves death. Will notes “The one thing that all probate cases have in common is that someone has passed away.” These cases are, by definition, emotional, and might involve protecting a surviving spouse or minor children, ensuring that a business or family farm continues to operate, or distributing property based on the wishes of the deceased family member. Debts may need to be addressed. The family home has special legal considerations. The ability to work and communicate with clients after a recent death is fundamental. Our firm also assists clients with preparing estate planning documents such as wills, powers of attorney, healthcare designations and living wills. The goal of this planning is to avoid many of the hard decisions surrounding guardianship and to make the probate process easier for surviving family members.
Probate

Bankruptcy
Tax Law
No. In fact, lawyers often help clients in matters that have nothing to do with disputes. For example, people might seek their lawyer’s advice on legal aspects of starting a business or engaging in a partnership, when buying or selling a home, or for information and advice on tax matters or estate planning. Some clients receive regular legal checkups that, like medical checkups, are designed to catch problems early or prevent them altogether.
