Paul Nelson, Esq. CFLS

Hiring a divorce attorney is like a marriage ➤ Nothing else impacts every single aspect of your clients’ future as much as a high-stakes divorce case when everything is at risk. At the most vulnerable and emotionally challenging point of their lives, it pays to know who you can trust to advocate for your clients through the worst of times, ensuring they analyze all their options and make the best decisions for themselves and their families. As a renowned California family law attorney and expert litigator with 23+ years of experience in high-asset divorces, complex business and property division cases, I specialize in taking the “big, messy cases” to ensure my clients are always getting the better deal. Taking a nonjudgmental approach, I am an easy person to talk to, get the information I need, and ensure my clients get to the next step. A highly experienced trial attorney, I have tried hundreds of family law matters in Newport Beach and throughout Orange County. My courtroom experience, knowledge of California family law, and familiarity with local judicial officers and opposing counsel has helped me build a track record of successful outcomes for a wide range of clients. “Through the worst time of my life, Nelson was there.” My strategic approach to high-stakes cases is my calling card, as I prepare for trial at the outset. When I hit a roadblock, I use my outside-the-box thinking to get it done because there is always a way. When I settle, I know my clients are getting a better deal. When I go to trial, I am fearless because I have gone against every other great attorney I know and aggressively seek success. Being a successful attorney is like playing a game of chess: it’s all about the long game. Similar to my flying as a private pilot, it is important to have a “flight plan” for each case. “In the end, it is not how I tell your story. It is how I get you to tell your story.” I am a member of the Family Law Section of the Orange County Bar Association, and I also belong to the Family Law Section of the State Bar of California and the J. Reuben Clark Law Society. Additionally, I am currently writing a book on High Conflict Divorces with an anticipated publishing date in early 2022.
