Litigation


When a family law matter cannot be resolved outside of court, skilled litigation can help protect your rights, your children, and your future. Our attorneys provide strategic, respectful representation in contested divorce, alimony, custody, and child-related matters. We help you understand each step of the litigation process so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Dispute Resolution


Every family law issue doesn’t need to be resolved in a courtroom. Dispute resolution offers a more private and flexible way to address divorce, custody, support, and agreement-related concerns. Our attorneys help clients evaluate options like mediation, arbitration, parent coordination, and negotiated agreements, with a focus on practical solutions that reflect your goals and reduce unnecessary conflict when possible.

Post-Litigation


Cases do not always end when a court order is entered. Changes in income, parenting schedules, children’s needs, or a former spouse’s compliance can require further legal action. Our attorneys assist clients with modifications, enforcement, contempt proceedings, and appeals, providing steady guidance and advocacy when existing orders need to be changed, enforced, or challenged.

“I am incredibly grateful for the support and representation I received from Turnbull, Nicholson and Sanders during my custody and child support case. From the very beginning, my attorney (Mary Sanders) was knowledgeable, patient, and truly took the time to understand my situation.

While the process was overwhelming and emotional I always felt informed, supported, and confident that my case was good hands. Mrs. Sanders & her team went above and beyond to advocate for me and my child, ensuring that our best interests were prioritized every step of the way.

I HIGHLY recommend Turnbull, Nicholson and Sanders to anyone in need of compassionate, dedicated, and effective legal representation. Their professionalism and commitment made a difficult process much easier for me and my family. I am forever grateful!”

“I used Rebecca Fleming for a most recent case, and I have been working with her for five years now. Divorce is not easy, but when it comes to it, she has it in the best interest of the child, and no matter what the circumstance is when it comes down to it it’s about the child. I have seen her in court and she is extremely professional, very intelligent on point and one of the kindest women I’ve ever met (she listens to you) but when you need somebody to fight for your children I would highly recommend her. In this position, no matter what it’s difficult for the mother or the father and you need somebody who is direct and knows what they’re doing. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“I extend my sincere gratitude to Turnbull, Nicholson & Sanders, P.A., and especially to Jasmine Pope and Mary Sanders, for their exceptional legal representation while handling two family law matters on my behalf simultaneously. Following the tragic loss of my daughter, I was navigating profound grief while also stepping into the responsibility of protecting and caring for her children.

Managing multiple custody matters under such circumstances required not only legal expertise, but compassion, diligence, and unwavering advocacy. Ms. Pope and Ms. Sanders handled both cases with the highest level of professionalism, care, and integrity, always prioritizing the best interests of the children involved.

Their attention to detail, clear communication, and steadfast support provided stability during an incredibly difficult period. Turnbull, Nicholson & Sanders, P.A. exemplifies excellence in family law representation, and I am sincerely and forever grateful for their dedication. I highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking knowledgeable, ethical, and compassionate legal counsel.”

“Ms. Fleming was amazing from the beginning to the end of the entire process. Her experience and knowledge really showed while fighting for me to obtain fairness and she was successful in surpassing my expectations. Ms. Fleming was consistently prompt at returning my emails and phone calls and she demonstrated an outstanding amount of patience when discussing all of the legal aspects of my situation. When it came time to meet with the opposing lawyer Ms. Fleming was hard nosed, dominant, and all business while remaining very professional. There was never a doubt in my mind that Ms. Fleming was going to work hard for me and fight for me to achieve our goals. Within the first few minutes of meeting her I felt a rush of confidence and security which really served as a big “pick me up” and I knew from then on things would be okay. I highly and fully recommend Ms. Fleming to anyone in need of a solid, caring, and established attorney.”
