Families First Law Firm, P.L. is a law firm with an office in Sarasota, FL. At this office location, there is 1 lawyer practicing family law, divorce, custody and 18 other areas of law.
I was a client of Brenda Nelms in a long standing custody case for the past year and a half. The moment I met her I knew my case and I were in good hands. Her professionalism, knowledge, and personal care exceeded my expectations. She fought hard for me until the end, and I will definitely be returning to her if the need arise. I’d recommend Brenda to anyone who needs representation or advice regarding Family Law. I’ll remember my time as her client fondly.
I'm local sole practitioner attorney having practiced estate planning and administration in Sarasota for over 30 years. Brenda Nelms handled my marriage dissolution a couple of years ago. I can't praise Families First Law Firm enough for the professionalism, hard work, empathy and result of what turned out to be a fully litigated dissolution. Brenda worked hard toward a settlement but when that didn't work out she litigated the matter to the end winning on all counts. It is my opinion she is one of the premier family law attorney's practicing in central Florida.
Brenda Nelms and the Families First Law Firm cannot receive enough high praise from me! During my out of state custody case she was very understanding and communicated with me every step of the way. She was very informative and set the appropriate expectations and delivered every time. In the end I was able to secure my child and bring her home with me due to Brenda's efforts in court. I highly recommend Brenda Nelms and her practice to anyone needing Family Law legal services!
Brenda Nelms is an excellent attorney who gives sound, logical advice. She worked a very complex case in a very compressed time schedule.
Brend Nelms is the most unprofessional, unethical attorney .she is not reliable. She is not responding to emails, phone calls. most of the time she is traveling and neglect to file a motion. She is negligent. She represented me in high conflict divorce, pretended to understand what is abusive husband, told me she is my friend, came to my country (Israel) to celebrate my son bar mitzvah. promised me I will win. I lost big time. I have 3 kids. I lost my properties. Didn’t even get child support. till this day. ended up with 100k debt that I'm still paying. She got paid for her services, she settled an amount but then decided to go to court,so she can get her interest rates paid. Greedy!! She Put a lien on my homestead where I and my kids live. I can’t fix my house and do refinance. She still has a lien on my property. she refuses to remove it, although she got paid. She took advantage of my situation. It took me 5 years to stand on my feet. She has no empath
