What former clients say:

[Written in an email from the client to the instructing solicitor on 31/7/2010] "Thank you for the most enlightening and inspiring meeting with Alex Nelson on Friday 23rd July 2010 at his Chambers. The meeting has given me a great deal of confidence and a sense of encouragement with my predicament at the moment."


"No matter how delicate and complicated situations can be, we always felt quite comfortable discussing these with Alex. We found Alex very knowledgeable, punctual, caring and reliable at all times. July 4, 2010 Top qualities: Expert, On Time, High Integrity Vincenzo hired Alex in 2009, and hired him/her more than once.

"Alex Nelson has been more than the consummate professional for the entire time I have worked with him. Highly knowledgeable, ethical and reliable, knowing Alex was overseeing my affairs gave me peace of mind that I would not have had if I were working with any other solicitor, especially given that I live in the USA. Alex was always prompt and available in responding to my calls and emails even given the time difference. I highly recommend Alex Nelson to anyone considering working with him." Service Category: Attorney;  Year first hired: 2000 (hired more than once);  Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity, July 7, 2010






























Tax.  Have you received a Directors Penalty Notice from the Australian Taxation Office.  The timeframes are short and you may need a tax barrister to assist in dealing with the Directors Penalty Notice, opposing the Directors Penalty Notice or making an application for remission or waiver of the tax debt.

 

Defamation.  Have you received or do you want to make a complaint about defamation?  The words "defamation" and "slander" get bandied about a lot but the law relating to defamation is quite complex and extraordinarily expensive so the advice you receive has to be accurate.

 

Family Dispute Resolution.  Are you about to commence family law proceedings in relation to children?  You will need to participate in a Family Dispute Resolution conference.  Alex can assist with advice, planning and representation at those conferences.  Alex has appeared in hundreds of  Family Dispute Resolution conferences and almost all of them have resolved to his client's absolute satisfaction.  Where his client was not happy with the outcome, it simply was not settled.

 

Family Law.  Are you already involved in parenting or property proceedings in the Family Court of Australia or the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia?  Alex regularly appears in interim hearings for parenting orders and procedural hearings for property matters and he is able to use his experience to the client's benefit, quickly identifying the issues in dispute as well as the issues that will be likely to attract the Court's attention and decide the outcome.  Getting early and accurate advice is essential.  Leaving the planning to the last minute will mean that you lose the chance to issue much needed subpoenas or to raise important issues in your affidavits material.

 

De facto property.  Are you involved in, or worried about being involved in, de facto property proceedings in the Family Court of Australia, Federal Magistrates Court of Australia, Supreme Court or District Court?  Alex has extensive experience in these matters as has a particular interest in the often related but overlooked questions of whether or not a de facto relationship actually existed and, if it did, when it came into being and how long it actually lasted.  It is often the case that proper consideration of these issues are overlooked.  get the right advice and get it early.
