The Law Offices of Patricia Lynne Nelson
Patricia Lynne Nelson is a seasoned Family Law attorney with 14 years of experience practicing in Sacramento, California. Ms. Nelson is skilled in all aspects of Family Law, with an emphasis on private confidential mediation. Private confidential mediation allows clients to craft educated agreements that would not be available if the case is taken to trial. This puts the clients in control, not the judge.
Our Mission
Ms. Nelson founded her virtual-only Family Law firm in 2025 with a clear mission: to guide clients through their Family Law matter from start to finish at an affordable upfront flat rate, all the while understanding their rights and obligations, and, if needed, to help clients resolve disputes in private confidential mediation.
What Sets Us Apart
Lower Costs: The cost of running a virtual-only Family Law firm is dramatically less than running a traditional law firm. For this reason, we are able to offer high-quality legal services at a much more affordable rate than traditional law firms.
No Retainer Required: We've eliminated the need for an upfront retainer. Traditional law firms often use an "evergreen" method of billing. This requires a retainer of a set amount that is used to pay fees and expenses. The law firm sends an invoice (usually monthly) to the client. The client is expected to pay that invoice upon receipt. This ensures that the retainer always stays at a set amount and the firm always gets paid. These invoices can be shockingly high. You will never experience that with us.
Transparent Flat Rate Divorce Services: Our all-inclusive flat rates mean you will know the total cost upfront. This one-time fee includes filing fees, service fees, all required forms and a predetermined amount of consultation/mediation time with Ms. Nelson.
Flexibility: Clients have the option of crafting custom flat rate Family Law packages. If a client just wants help with a Marital Settlement Agreement, we can do that.
