Sadly Nelson Law was not my first choice when I was in need of a defense lawyer. But it should of been!! I had many lawyers telling me to take a deal when I didn’t do any thing wrong and wouldn’t help me take my case to trial. One of these nah sayers told me about Nelson Law and I’m glad they did. He felt confident about my case from day one and it didn’t even go to trial and was dismissed.

I highly encourage any individual faced with a traumatic event that has the potential to really make life harder, messier and inflict you with a struggle you do not want to face alone to seek out Aaron Nelson. Day to day life can be draining and tiresome enough and then to add the mishaps that involve the law and the ramifications tied with it can be very terrifying. He seriously knows the loss potential you are facing and listens, reassures and just keeps it real with you so you know what to expect and answers all of your questions as brutally honest as he can at any given time. I chose Aaron

The absolute best lawyer money can buy in the Minnesota/Wisconsin area. Aaron Nelson and his staff helped my son out on 2 felony charges that was something of a very serious and long time in prison situation ,which resulted in case dismissed at the jury trial! So my conclusion is he is worth every cent of what he charges and I will use him again anyway of the week because he is a winner

I would strongly recommend the Nelson Defense Group to anyone in need of a defense lawyer. I had the privilege of working with Aaron and Connie and they were so helpful beyond belief during a time I needed help the most. I am grateful for them to help me turn my life around and get down the right path when I thought my life was over! Thank you!

Adam Nero was an incredible lawyer. He was able to accomplish what we thought was impossible. He was tenacious in his approach. He turned over every rock to find the right defense. His communication was timely, helpful and easy to understand. He turned a sentence of 4 years in prison into 4.5 months house arrest. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a strong, passionate and helpful attorney!

We had the opportunity to work with more than one of the lawyers there and it is very obvious they care about their people. Worth every penny. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking! Thanks to everyone at Nelson Defense Group! Your hard work and dedication to my case is so appreciated!!
