Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 34%

I have handled many complex chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy reorganization cases. Chapter 13 enables you to pay back your debts in an affordable manner. You can stop mortgage foreclosures and car repossessions usually. You pay your unsecured creditors a percentage of your debt based upon your ability to pay within 3-5 years. I am a co-author with three other attorneys of the chapter 13 bankruptcy section of the 2012 "Bankruptcy Practice in Minnesota Deskbook" published by Minnesota CLE.

Social Security & Disability 33%

I handle social security disablity and supplemental security income cases. I worked for The Honorable J. Earl Cudd and The Honorable Floyd E. Boline as a Judicial Clerk from 1984-1985 primarily handling social security disabilty cases. These magistrate judges handled social security cases which were appealed to federal court. I gained great experience there which has been a vital help in my social security practice.

Awesome

Met with mr Nelson and needed advice , he was very welcoming and very attentive to my concerns. Explained in detail what the process will be for my situation . I left his office and got an email few days later from him to see if I had any other concerns . That day I hired him and could not be happier... with my decision . Very professional , ethical and a pleasure to deal with I would recommend him to everyone that I know who needs his help . Do yourself a favor and give him a chance before you hire someone else , this man is the right lawyer !! Reviews matter and I hope mine can help you in deciding .

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
