I cannot say enough good things about Stephan and his team, especially Tabitha. Going through a divorce and custody case is one of the most stressful and emotionally exhausting experiences a person can face, and having the right legal team makes all the difference. From day one, Stephan was professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely invested in helping me navigate a very difficult situation. He took the time to explain things clearly, kept me informed throughout the process, and always made me feel like my case actually mattered. His experience and confidence gave me peace of mind during moments where I honestly felt overwhelmed. What truly set Stephan apart for me was the personal side of his support. There were times he called after hours just to talk and help me through difficult moments. He shared wisdom, encouragement, and even stories from his own life that helped put things into perspective and reminded me I wasn’t alone in what I was going through. That level of compassion and humanity meant more to me than I can properly explain. Tabitha was equally incredible. She was compassionate, responsive, organized, and always willing to help whenever I had questions or concerns. Her communication and support meant more than I can properly put into words. You can tell she truly cares about the people she works with, and that level of dedication is rare. What stood out most about this firm was the balance of professionalism and genuine human compassion. I never felt like just another case number. They treated me with respect, patience, and understanding during one of the hardest times in my life. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you, guide you honestly, and truly care about your family and future, I highly recommend Stephan and his team. I’m deeply grateful for everything they’ve done for me.

Mr. Futeral and Mr. Nelson, I don’t even know if I have the words to tell you how thankful I am for you two. From start to finish I have not worried about a single thing (even when my whole nervous system was freaking out). Thank you both so much for your help, guidance, words of encouragement. Mr. Futeral I’ll never forget you calling me on a family Sunday dinner to talk to me about my case, that went above and beyond, as I tell my nurses, family first. I can’t thank you enough for finding worth in taking on my case and helping me navigate everything. Your team, including Michelle are amazing. Hopefully our paths will never need to intersect again; however, if I ever need help, you’ll be the first I call. Thank you for everything. Truly.
If you are looking for a divorce attorney in the Charleston area, I cannot recommend Futeral & Nelson enough. Going through a divorce is one of the most stressful and emotional experiences a person can face, but Stephen, Tabitha, and Lauren made the entire process feel manageable. From the very beginning, they treated me with compassion, respect, and genuine care. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I felt supported every step of the way. What stood out most to me was how much they truly care about their clients. I never felt like just another case. Their knowledge, professionalism, and dedication gave me confidence during a time when I really needed it. By the end of the process, they didn’t just feel like my legal team — they felt like family. I am incredibly grateful for their guidance and support during such an important time in my life. If you need a knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy divorce attorney in the Charleston area, I highly recommend Futeral & Nelson.
Tom Nelson and his staff were awesome throughout my experience over four years. There were multiple hearings, appeals and contempt of court motions. Mr. Nelson was always available and was very calm and straightforward. He also did not overcharge or gouge me. He was very fair and tried to keep his fees low. My experience could’ve been really bad if I didn’t have good representation, I highly recommend Tom Nelson and his law firm. He knows the law, and his strategies worked for me. If you were in a situation where you do need legal representation I certainly would make sure you do your research and look at the reviews in the comments. You don’t want to get into a situation where you’re paying a retainer and you are stuck with poor representation or an absent lawyer.. Mr. Nelson and his firm were awesome! thank you.
