About Attorney Nelson De La Cruz

Nelson De La Cruz is a bilingual (English/Spanish) New York attorney with 16+ years of experience since his admission to the New York Bar in December 2009. He holds a Juris Doctor from Pace University School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts from Syracuse University.

He is the Managing Attorney and Founder of THE NDLC LAW FIRM, PLLC. His practice is focused on family law, matrimonial litigation, criminal defense, housing matters, and civil litigation.

Earlier in his career, Nelson built deep experience in complex commercial litigation, e-discovery, and financial compliance — including roles at UBS AG (Associate Director, Litigation & Investigations), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (Vice President), and Deutsche Bank. He previously led the family law department and supervised a team of paralegals at Cabanillas & Associates, P.C. As part of that role, he answered live legal questions on WSKQ-FM 97.9 and X96.3 FM.

Based in the Bronx and operating as a fully virtual practice, THE NDLC LAW FIRM, PLLC serves clients in all five NYC boroughs and throughout Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, and Sullivan Counties.

Nelson regularly appears in New York courts and understands how procedures, personalities, and unwritten rules can affect a case. That local knowledge helps him guide clients through unfamiliar systems with fewer surprises.

In addition to New York state courts, Nelson is admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Eastern District of Michigan, and the Central District of California.
