In 2010, two great legal minds joined forces to establish the family law firm of Phillips & Peters, PLLC. With a shared vision, they built a practice dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the challenges of divorce, custody disputes, and more. Through mentorship and leadership, the founders cultivated Lisa Jackson & Sarah Nelson into attorneys who could continue to carry on the core values. The founders later entrusted Lisa Jackson and Sarah Nelson in carrying on the firm, renaming Phillips & Peters, PLLC to Jackson Nelson, PLLC. Today, Lisa Jackson and Sarah Nelson continue to carry forward the original mission and vision, upholding the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, respect for clients and peers, and the care to provide compassionate and personalized service to each of our clients, and are continuing to help families move forward.
