Divorce
The laws pertaining to the various issues in a divorce are complex and nuanced. Our Salt Lake City family law attorneys are knowledgeable about all aspects of divorce law and can provide reliable information about how the law pertains to your situation. We provide realistic advice about your situation and promote your rights in negotiations or in court.
Child Support
Child Support – Generally, the noncustodial parent pays support. We can advise you about how Utah calculates these payments.
Child Custody and Visitation
In Utah, courts emphasize the well-being and best interests of children during the divorce process. A parenting plan is designed to outline where the children will live and spend their time. This can be the most contentious part of a divorce. When you need child custody attorneys in Salt Lake City, Nelson, Taylor & Associates offers skilled legal representation to help devise a parenting plan that works for everyone.
Adoption
Paternity
Paternity. Whether you're facing paternity accusations or are interested in establishing paternity for your child, our attorneys can help you handle your case.
Premarital Agreement
Prenuptial agreements. Today, more couples are getting prenuptial agreements than ever before—and with good reason. A prenuptial agreement can help you protect your assets and ensure you have a more equitable marriage. Our lawyers can help you establish a mutually beneficial, equitable prenuptial arrangement with your partner.
Guardianship
Nick Gottwald was amazing to work with! He helped my family with guardianship case. We were able to get an appointment with him quickly and he was great at communicating with us during the process. I would highly recommend Nick Gottwald @ Nelson, Taylor & Associates PLLC.
Spousal Support
Alimony – Spousal support is determined by the length of the marriage, age of each spouse, earning potential, number of children, marital standard of living, and other factors.
Legal Separation
Legal separation. Legally separating before proceeding with your divorce has a multitude of benefits. It gives you time to repair your relationship should you choose to do so or consider how you want to handle divorce-related processes like child custody, property division, etc. Our attorneys can help you understand why legal separation may benefit your case.
Annulment
Annulment. Under certain circumstances, it may be possible to annul a marriage, effectively eliminating its legal legitimacy. If you're considering a divorce or think you may qualify for an annulment, our lawyers can help you understand annulment eligibility requirements and pursue an annulment in court.
Child Abuse

Criminal Defense
A criminal defense lawyer specializes in the defense of people and companies charged with criminal activity. Criminal defense attorneys research the facts, investigate the case against their clients and try to negotiate deals with their adversaries (prosecutors). They also examine witnesses, help formulate a plea, analyze the prosecutor’s case, assess the potential sentences, question witnesses, and gather evidence.
DUI/DWI
In Utah, you can be found guilty of driving under the influence if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is.05% or higher. You can also be guilty of DUI with less alcohol in your bloodstream, if there is other evidence that your driving was impaired, such as weaving in an out of lanes or failing to stop for red lights or stop signs.
Wrongful Death
When tragedy strikes your family in the form of an automobile accident or other cause of personal injury or wrongful death, the Salt Lake City personal injury attorneys at Nelson, Taylor & Associates dedicate themselves to getting you the compensation you are owed to cover your expenses and relieve further financial distress.
Traffic Violations
Nicholas Gottwald is an associate attorney at Nelson, Taylor & Associates. He specializes in family law, divorce and custody disputes, contract issues, estate planning, criminal defense, and traffic violations.
Misdemeanors
Have you been charged with a crime? A criminal conviction can impact every area of your life and put your future and freedom in jeopardy. You need a qualified and experienced defense attorney to ensure that your rights are protected. At Nelson, Taylor & Associates, our Salt Lake City criminal defense attorneys represent clients charged with everything from misdemeanor offenses to serious felonies.
Drug Crimes
Assault
Restraining Order
Unfortunately, divorce can be complex, contentious, and even violent in some situations. When domestic violence is a factor, a protective order (often referred to as a “restraining order”) may be needed to keep the abusive party away from the victim during the divorce process. At Nelson, Taylor & Associates, our Salt Lake City domestic violence attorneys represent victims of domestic violence in Salt Lake City, as well as those seeking to challenge a protective order.

He currently serves on the Divorce Education for Children Subcommittee for the Utah State Courts and is the Editor in Chief of the Utah Family Law Bar Journal. Prior to relocating to Utah, Attorney Taylor worked for the New York City office of the international law firm DeHeng Chen & Chen where he focused on international business law.

Personal Injury
When one person is injured because of the negligence of another, the law holds that negligent person responsible to the injured person for the damages caused, including: present and future medical expenses, present and future lost wages, and pain & suffering. However, obtaining a fair amount of compensation is never an easy matter. As the plaintiff in a personal injury case, the burden falls on you to prove that the accident was the fault of the other party. The defendant, meanwhile, represented by a team of insurance company lawyers, will argue instead that you were to blame, that your injuries are not as serious as you claim, or that your injuries were not caused by the accident. If the jury believes that you contributed to the accident and are more at fault than the defendant, even just one percent more, then you will not be allowed to recover any compensation for your injuries, despite the other party’s negligence or reckless conduct.
