Scott Nelson

Scott Nelson attended college at the University of Maryland where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management.

Prior to becoming a family law attorney, Scott opened and grew a prosperous landscaping company. When he first bought it, he did $90,000 in sales. Before selling his company, he did $550,000 in sales. In just under five years of owning his company, he saw a 500% increase in sales. Owning and running his own company gave him experience in the issues that affect business owners and employees. Ultimately, Scott went on to sell the business and transition to real estate.

Scott’s real-world experience in selling and buying both commercial and residential properties give him a leg up over other family law attorneys. His knowledge and experience in these transactions provides Scott the ability to help clients with high asset divorces, complicated real estate transactions, and divorces involving community property.

Scott comes from a military family and went on, himself, to serve in the marine core and navy for 20 years, as an enlistee and officer. His extensive experience in the military gives Scott a unique insight when handling military divorces involving child custody, multi-State jurisdictions, military benefits, and qualified domestic relations orders (QUADROs)—whether Scott is representing the military member or the non-military member, his military knowledge provides the client an advantage over other attorneys in a military divorce.

Scott attended law school at St. Mary’s University. While in law school, he worked in the family law clinic.

Scott Nelson joined Soyars & Morgan Law, where he could continue his work of providing zealous, client-focused, and knowledgeable representation to their clients. Scott prides himself on treating his clients with dignity, honesty, and respect. He enjoys challenges that do not have an easy solution and require critical thinking.
