About Mathew Adam
Mathew Adam Work is a Nevada attorney who concentrates his practice on family law, divorce and child custody matters. He graduated from Thomas Jefferson School of Law and later built a private practice that centers on domestic relations. He works with individuals navigating separation and the legal steps that follow.
Work began his legal career after completing his law studies in California. He moved into Nevada practice and eventually founded Carlson & Work. The firm carries his name and reflects the practice areas he chose to emphasize. Over the years he has handled a mix of contested and uncontested family law matters, representing clients in settlement talks and in court when disputes cannot be resolved by agreement.
Clients and colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach. He breaks complex family issues into discrete legal questions. That clarity guides negotiations and case planning. He also prepares for hearings and trials when necessary. Those who retain him find that he combines a procedural understanding of Nevada rules with attention to the practical effects of settlements on parenting time and financial arrangements.
Courtroom work is only one part of his practice. He also spends time on pre-filing strategy, discovery, and the drafting of agreements. He handles petitions for divorce, motions relating to child support and custody, and post-judgment modifications. He represents clients in domestic-relations courts across Nevada and coordinates with professionals such as financial analysts or therapists when cases raise those needs.
As founder of Carlson & Work, he has overseen the growth of a small firm that focuses on family law matters. The practice model emphasizes a mix of negotiation and litigation. The office seeks to resolve disputes efficiently when possible, while preparing to litigate when clients require it. That dual posture shapes how the firm advises people at the outset of a case.
Outside the courtroom he keeps up with developments in Nevada family law that affect parental rights, support obligations and property distribution. He adapts case strategies to changes in statutes and local rules. His work remains rooted in advising clients through the immediate legal steps and the longer-term consequences of family-law decisions. He currently practices family law, handling divorce and custody matters at Carlson & Work.
