Legal issues usually arise at the worst possible time. We understand that you have other priorities, and that you need someone who can take care of your legal problem with the least possible disruption to you and your family. We can help you with your legal needs - and if we can't help you, we will refer you to an attorney who can. Our firm will charge you a fair rate, and will guide you through the entire process. This page explains our firm's practice areas so you can learn more about your legal issues. Let Mark K. Nelson, P.C. lend you a hand with your case. - Business Organizations and Transactions - Legal issues and pitfalls abound at every stage of a business's existence, from the initial start-up to dissolution or sale of the company. It is important to have expert legal counsel assist you right from the beginning, when you are deciding on a business form (corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or another business entity), as well as further down the road. At Mark K. Nelson, P.C., an experienced business lawyer will help you deal with the almost endless variety of legal matters that will, sooner or later, arise when you do business. From buy-sell agreements, joint ventures, and liability issues to mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and business successions, you need intelligent advice that will promote your success. We can tell you not only what the law requires, but also how you can seize opportunities and avoid problems in your business.
- Criminal Defense - Chances are, you have never been charged with a crime before. Whether you have been charged with a felony or "just" a misdemeanor, you now face a process that carries with it the possibility of real and permanent consequences. Criminal defendants often do not know how serious their own situation is. You should know that whatever the charge is, it is serious and needs to be addressed. A conviction for even a "minor" charge can lead to jail time, fines, or both. And your conviction will become part of a criminal record that can cost you employment and financial opportunities in future. Now, as never before, you need to fight to protect your rights, and you need a skilled criminal defense attorney who will stand up for you. Contact Mark K. Nelson, P.C. for advice.
- Family Law - Family law matters can be emotionally draining, particularly when children are involved. Divorce, custody, and support all concern the most basic human relationships: husband and wife and parent and child. When a family law issue occurs, it is important to remember that these are legal relationships, as well as emotional bonds. You have rights and responsibilities in those relationships that will be protected or enforced by the court. You must not let yourself be blinded by the emotions involved so that you neglect the many difficult legal issues that will arise in a family law case. If you are facing a divorce, child custody or visitation, support, or another family-related legal issue, you need expert legal assistance to protect your rights. Mark K. Nelson, P.C. can make sure that you are not taken advantage of during the proceedings.
- Personal Injury - If you or someone you love has been injured, you know how complicated life suddenly becomes. At Mark K. Nelson, P.C., our goal is to make at least one part of your recovery as easy as possible. When you are injured through the carelessness or recklessness of another, maybe through a car crash or other accident, the law says that the responsible party owes you financial compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and other hardships. Your family may also have a right to compensation. We can guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. Whether you are hurt by a car accident, a slip and fall or a defective product, remember - you are owed this money. At this difficult time, you need to focus on your physical and mental recovery - let us take care of your legal recovery.
- Probate/Estate Planning and Administration - It may be hard to think about how your family would deal with your affairs and finances after you pass away, but it is essential to do so. Estate planning allows you to impact the future by directing how you would like your property and assets distributed upon your death. Clients may chose to do this by having us help with preparing a will or establishing one of many kinds of trusts. Without proper planning, your estate could go to the government or to people who you did not choose. At Mark N. Nelson, P.C., we can assist you in making informed decisions about your estate and determine if you need a will. For existing estates, you and your family may have to go through the probate system, which allows the courts to oversee the distribution of a loved one's assets. The probate process is easier on all involved if the correct planning has been done in advance. Let us help you with that process.
