"I have known Eric Nelson his entire legal career and have witnessed him blossom into what is absolutely one of the top-tier courtroom litigators in the State of Minnesota. He has excellent advocacy and trial skills and is very bright. Eric Nelson is also a great husband, father and son --- he has all the qualities that any accused person could want in their lawyer."
"Eric cares a lot about his clients. He is one of the hardest-working lawyers in the community and prepares diligently for each and every case. He is an excellent trial attorney and negotiator."

Eric is also well liked by his peers, by opposing attorneys, and by judges. His integrity shines through and it carries over to his clients. A great family man and a great friend. I highly recommend Eric Nelson."
