Nick Gordon is publicly pleading with Bobbi Kristina Brown's family for permission to visit her.
Randall M. Kessler and Joe S. Habachy, Gordon's legal counsel, issued the following statement Monday on his behalf: "Despite his strong desire to see Bobbi Kristina, Nick has respected the families' wishes for over three months and has refrained from visiting or from pursuing access to her through the courts. He has asked through counsel many times privately and now asks both the Browns and the Houstons, please let him see her. "

E! News reached out to a Houston family rep for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
Gordon checked out of rehab late last-month after receiving treatment for alcohol abuse. Prior to receiving treatment, Gordon's attorneys issued a statement saying he had "been trying, privately, to do everything he can to see Bobbi Kristina cooperatively."
Houston family attorneys as well as a representative for Bobbi Kristina's father,Bobby Brown, stated otherwise. On Feb. 21, roughly three weeks after Bobbi Kristina was found face down in a bathtub in her Georgia home, Brown's lawyer claimed Gordon "was offered an opportunity to potentially visit Bobbi Kristini and he declined to meet the terms of any possible visit," telling E! News in a statement, "Obviously Mr. Gordon is not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe."

Bobbi Kristina, 22, remains fighting for her life in a rehabilitation center. Earlier this month, her grandmother Cissy Houston told Entertainment Tonight she was "not progressing at all," adding, "She's not gone yet, but you know, whatever the Lord decides, I'm ready for her...I have nothing to do with that. That's His job. It's His territory, you know? And I understand it."
As of Apr. 20, Whitney Houston's daughter was no longer in a medically induced coma, but Cissy told E! News in a statement that Bobbi Kristina "has global and irreversible brain damage and remans unresponsive."
"Meeting with the doctors and understanding that she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me," Cissy added. "We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time. Keep us in your prayers."
