Honest and Aggressive Representation
Nadzam Law Firm is a general practice firm operated by a mother-son duo: Carla Rogers Nadzam, a veteran attorney who has practiced in Jonesboro and surrounding areas since 2002, and her son Andrew Nadzam, who has practiced in Jonesboro since 2016. Together, they devote much of their practice to domestic litigation, including divorce, custody, guardianship, child support, and paternity cases. They also handle estate planning, including wills, powers of attorney, living wills, and healthcare directives. In addition, they handle probate matters.
Carla and Andrew provide comprehensive representation to their clients, offering practical advice and providing aggressive representation in Court. Their approach is to provide the guidance each client needs in his or her individual case, whether that requires merely advising the client on his or her options, or requires going to Court. Together, they welcome your call to discuss your legal needs.

Areas of Practice
Divorce and Custody
We know your family is the most important part of your life. Divorce is a difficult, emotional time in anyone's life. This is particularly true when you have minor children. In any divorce involving minor children, custody and visitation are the most important and contentious issues. Typically, both parents want to spend as much time as possible with his/her children. We are committed to working with our clients to maximize the amount of time you have with your children. We are also dedicated to providing the highest quality legal representation to protect our clients financially whether it is through child support, spousal support, or division of marital property. We specialize in complex, high asset divorces.
Adoption
We love doing adoptions at the Nadzam Law Firm. There are several types of adoptions in Arkansas. Most of us know someone who has adopted a newborn baby after his/her mother has agreed to the adoption. Many of us also know someone who has adopted his/her stepchild. Even when the parents consent to the adoption, you need an experienced adoption attorney to represent you. Your adoption case may be contested which is where at least one parent refuses to consent to the adoption. We frequently handle contested adoptions whether the adoption is contested by one of the birth parents or the Arkansas Department of Health and Human Services (DHS). The Nadzam Law Firm, PLC frequently represents foster parents who are seeking to adopt children they are fostering, but DHS or a birth parent is objecting to the adoption. Nadzam Law Firm, PLC is knowledgeable and experienced in the courtroom dealing with adoption cases. We know how important adoption is to a child looking for a forever home and that special family who wants to provide a forever home.
Wills and Estate Planning
Estate Planning is the plan you make for your minor children and your property/assets after your death. People frequently ask us whether they need a will. The answer is simple. Everyone should have a will, powers of attorney, and a living will to ensure that your wishes are followed. If you die without a will, the laws of the state you live in determine who receives your property and, more importantly, who you want appointed as a guardian for your minor children. If you have a will, you determine what will happen to your property and, more importantly, who you want to raise your minor children after you are gone. Powers of Attorney authorize someone to act on your behalf to make financial and medical decisions for you when you are not able to make those decisions. A Living Will is your directive to healthcare providers and loved ones on what medical treatment you want if there is no hope of recovery. No one knows the needs of you and your family better than you do. Please call today and schedule an appointment to have us prepare any of these documents. It is much easier and cheaper to do estate planning than it is to obtain a guardianship over another person.
