Eric C. Nelson, Attorney

"Mr. Nelson provided exceptional legal representation during my divorce. As an executive in corporate finance, I really value attention to detail and problem-solving skills. His expertise, guidance, and dedication surpassed my expectations. I faced a challenging situation with an ex-wife seeking more than 50% custody of our two young children. My ex-wife attacked my character and was dishonest, attempting to get the kids more than 50% of the time. Mr. Nelson was able to dismantle the false narrative my ex-wife presented, secured me 50% custody, and maintained professionalism throughout to all parties involved. Additionally, my ex-wife was seeking spousal maintenance, more than 50% of our marital estate, and attorney fees. Mr. Nelson’s skillful arguments to opposing counsel presented a clear, concise position in my favor, brokering no possible legal recourse for my ex-wife and her counsel. Going through the divorce was the hardest time in my life. I encountered difficulties as my spouse shared inaccurate information and made false claims, leading to challenging family dynamics. If you seek a top-notch divorce attorney, or aren’t happy with your current lawyer, I highly recommend Eric Nelson—he's the best in the Twin Cities."

"Eric was my divorce lawyer in a case that needed determination, persistency, knowledge of the matter, and the ability to work with an opposing party that was making things difficult. He showed the ability to be flexible when necessary and firm when needed. The outcome was everything I hoped for it to be and I'm very grateful and thankful for his work. I can only highly recommend him to anyone who needs a hard working, knowledgable, responsive and easy to deal with divorce lawyer who has your back and fights for you. Thank you Eric."

"Well, nobody wants to have to retain a divorce lawyer, and I did my research meeting with several lawyers before retaining Eric — I made the right choice! I even told Eric he was the best part of the worst part of my life! It was a complicated divorce that involved the family court system, other legal drama and many twists and turns. It’s such an intensely stressful and painful experience especially when children are involved, but Eric always gave me honest, sound, practical and knowledgeable counsel. He was thoughtful about not burning money and time on foolish endeavors and was always responsive to my questions, concerns and fears. Also, he is highly strategic and understands the system and how to maneuver in the most effective way. I also felt he had great integrity and believes in justice, he is going to always advise you to do the right things, which was a clear juxtaposition with opposing council, that I think the judges even noticed. In the end, I was granted absolutely everything I wanted and I give credit to Eric for his support, knowledge and fortitude. Also, Jeffrey (paralegal) is great to work with - exudes compassion and understanding, he was on the receiving end of a few crying phone calls from me and handled it like a champ."

"Eric is super reliable, even after all these years he's always there if you need him. Super smart guy who helps you through a tough divorce, by making sure you fully understand the process. Especially, if you're a young Dad who doesn't know a thing. Hire him, you won't be disappointed!"

"No one expects to ever be in a situation where you have to speak with any kind of an attorney. However with that being said please speak with Mr. Nelson with peace of mind. Extremely professional, extremely helpful, and just over all an amazing person who clearly takes pride in helping others. Thank you very much for doing a fantastic job."
