Mississauga's Family Law Firm: Navigating Family Matters
At Nelson Family Law we know the law and have been providing legal advice to clients since 2008. Our focus is only family law, and our mission is simple – to provide honest and straightforward legal advice to our clients while we work together towards a client and family focused resolution.
What We Do
We will explain Family Law from a legal and resolution-focused perspective. We know the law, the rights, entitlements and obligations of all parties and we work closely with our clients as options and resolution strategies are explored and developed.
Divorce & Separation
Divorce and separation involve many legal issues which can be complex, which include asset and property division, parenting, and support obligations. An experienced family law lawyer will guide you through these challenges.
Parenting
Nelson Family Law is committed to helping families find a child-focused solution aimed to last well into the future.
Child Support
It is the right of the child to be supported and the particulars of this entitlement will be explained. Nelson Family Law has this experience.
Property Division
Division of property can be a complex process which requires an experienced family law lawyer who will explain the intricacies and steps required to resolve the issues.
Cohabitation Agreements and Marriage Contracts
It is wise to enter into a contract before you start living together whether it is common law or getting married for the first time or you have been married before. The legal issues that arise if an Agreement or Contract is not in place can be complex and unanticipated and are avoidable. Nelson Family Law will provide the experience and guidance you need.
Court Proceedings
Nelson Family Law brings a wealth of experience in litigation matters if a negotiated resolution is not possible.
Mediation & Arbitration
Also referred to as Alternative Dispute Resolution, this resolution model is Nelson Family Law’s preferred way to resolve family law issues and it is proven to be an effective way to resolve disputes.
Separation Agreements
A properly drafted Separation Agreement is important to avoid future problems and pitfalls. Nelson Family Law prepares Separation Agreements along with providing Independent Legal Advice if you have been presented with one already prepared.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is sometimes referred to as alimony and it applies to a party regardless of marital status. This means that if a couple did not get married but lived together in a common law relationship, there still may be a spousal support entitlement and corresponding payment obligation. This entitlement and corresponding obligation is not tied to being married. Spousal support can be a complex matter to sort out and an experienced family law lawyer will guide the client. Nelson Family Law provides this advice and guidance.

After the first meeting, it was apparent Ms.Nelson is a quick study . She knows the law, and ‘gets’people. In end-stage matrimony, it’s not enough to be smart and thoughtful.(Although,she is both). Our opponent in the ring was often combative and unpleasant. On the brink of heading to court,Ms. Nelson took over the wheel and steered everyone to settlement. The Year long process was costly, but not because of the bill..which was fair. It was a difficult personal time, fraught with crisis...something that Ms Nelson handled with care & compassion,ultimately eclipsing the graceless and petty style of opposing counsel. Forever grateful.

Great news! My mother was able to obtain Super Visa which grants to come and go From Canada for next 8 years without a need to apply for one. You have one great law firm, and you are one amazing lawyer. All I can say is "thank you" for getting my mother's visa quickly. Your legal knowledge helped me when other lawyers couldn't/wouldn't. Thank you for everything! I would highly recommend Patricia Nelson!!!

I initially retained Ms. nelson based on the consultation I had with her. She appeared to be tough and someone who could be my voice when I couldn't do it for myself. I later learned that there is so much more to her than just that. She is so kind, caring and compassionate, I never once felt like i was some "file" to her. I strongly believe that she actually cares for her clients and does everything she can to help them in their situation. Furthermore, she is incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent and professional. I saw her decorum between the communication she had to the other side, and she is strong and truly represents the client's voice, and what is in the best interest of them. She helped in getting me through a very difficult depressing time in my life compelled me to express my gratitude. Thank you , sincerely.

AND Ms. Nelson and her clerk sure know what compassion means..... I put my trust in them and I couldn't be happier.... I got what I wanted and much more ?? Thanks a million to Nelson Family Law. My ex husband and I are amazing friends now and we both are with Ms. Nelson and her clerk.

From the initial consultation, Patricia had my respect and appreciation. Her insight and concern made a very unpleasant matter more tolerable and her attention to detail and sincerity, while rare in today's society, are second to none. Having previous litigation experience for various reasons, makes one more guarded about sharing personal info. Patricia was professional, courteous and punctual. I highly suggest you talk to her about your own case, or concerns. You couldn't find a better ally during trying times.

Patricia is an excellent lawyer. I went to her office to talk about my case and she noticed I was abused and she suggested me call 911 she also accompanied me for 3 hours.

I had randomly picked Ms Nelson from the yellow pages and couldn't have made a better choice. Throughout my separation from my wife Ms Nelson always had my best interest in mind. She always kept me well informed as to the best actions to take. Her staff was amazing and was prompt in getting documents to the opposing lawyer and keeping me informed. In the end the settlement was very fair (in my favor) and I could not be more pleased with the final outcome.

From the moment I walked into Patricia’s office, scared and overwhelmed with my current situation, I began to feel much more relaxed. Patricia’s “take charge” attitude and her assurance that she and her team will resolve all the issues in a timely manner gave me the confidence and security I needed. Her compassion and understanding made a very difficult situation so much better. My case was a very complicated one. After a separation of over 4 years and a very difficult opponent, there were many issues that had to be dealt with and reams of paperwork and background information that Patricia and her team had to dig up and sort through and they did so with painstaking diligence. I recommend Patricia Nelson and her team to anyone looking for a solid, honest, straightforward and hardworking law firm. You will not be disappointed!

Ms Nelson was up front from our first meeting about my expectations and what she could do for me, she is accessible, she always made sure my questions were answered, she is realistic about what could or couldn't be done and she worked closely with me on all my documents until we were both completely satisfied. She was committed to resolving my case without destroying my family. I received excellent value and representation. Ms Nelson and her staff helped me through a difficult and painful process and they made it bearable - I never thought I'd need a family lawyer but I'm glad I chose Nelson Family Law - thank you ladies for helping me and my family!!!

Simply the best. A good lawyer is a good listener, patient, and honest about really wanting to help you and Ms. Nelson is all of these and way more. She is always there when I need her and she did accomplish what I wanted and way more. She truly cared about me and my family who was suffering and at the end of my case my ex wife and I become best friends rather than enemies. Thank you Ms. Nelson for doing exactly what I wanted and what my family needed.

Ms. Nelson and her staff were wonderful to deal with. And they still are wonderful to this day! I had a less than desirable case that left me confused, scared and quite anxious. Never once did they lose their patience with me and my never ending questions and emails - which they responded to asap, even after hours. They made sure to review every possible scenario and outcome with me, so I was always prepared and understood all my options. Not only were they true professionals, but Ms. Nelson and staff exhibit a true sense of kindness, sincerity and genuineness about them that really emphasizes how much they care about you and your situation. I cannot recommend Ms. Nelson and her team enough, as I truly believe they are the best out there. I keep in contact with them regularly as they are truly a team you cannot forget with their energetic spirit, great sense of humour and true dedication and passion for what they do - taking care of their clients needs in the best way possible.

Patricia R. Nelson is the best. She always makes time for her clients and gets the job done. She knows her stuff very well. Even after 5pm her and law clerk always reply to my emails and always have answers. I would totally recommend her. My matter was successful and she did not advise me to go to court and we won the nice, easy and respectful way. She even made me become good friends with my ex husband and not enemies for the sake of our kids. Even the court clerks love her cuz she always has her stuff ready to go. She is a very family oriented lawyer who has a warm heart. She is never rude to other lawyers. Love her on ever level.
