Blair W. Nelson

Years ago, when Mr. Nelson first opened his business, my dad worked with him on immigration issues. More than a decade later, I found myself in a situation that I needed an attorney. I called Blair Nelson, who advised me not to speak with the police (DUH? right?). Because of his work on the case, ...and the fact that I had an attorney representing me from day one, all charges were eventually dropped due to lack of evidence to prosecute. I'm not saying this will be the case with everyone, but for the money I spent in having a professional and experienced attorney represent me (instead of a "public pretender") I was able to avoid a criminal record. And THAT, is worth far more to me in the end.

Blair Nelson is always prompt to be at my service. He returned calls and e-mails the same day. He exuded confidence in my outcome without being foolish about how the criminal justice system actually works. He was very cordial and friendly with courthouse guards, bailiffs, public defenders, prosecutor...s, court recorders and my supporters in court. He wasn't going to lose any points with anyone in the process for being distant, grumpy or surly. Blair is committed to good outcomes for his clients. He is not in the least intimidated by over zealous prosecutors who huff and puff and pile on charges trying to force a plea bargain. He is a trial attorney who can handle the mood and the atmosphere of a trial by jury. He is on facebook with the generally low income community of people that he serves. The facebook connections show him to be an advocate who is deeply caring about the overall lives of the people he serves every day in court. Blair shares his time, his talents and his treasure back into the Bemidji area community. Blair Nelson is a drunkard's dream if I ever did see one. (Robbie Robertson, The Band) I am Bob K.

Blair Nelson is by far the best lawyer I have ever had. I was charged with hurting my brother in-law for protecting myself. My first lawyer did not do my case or myself justice. I lost. And served all of my time. 3 months after the fact I won my appeal. Just to find out that it just made thing...s moot. And had to go back to trial. I took on Blair as my lawyer. Right off the bat he dug right down to the core of everything, asked me things I wouldn't even have thought of. He got to point. He did everything he could for me, and more. I won as I should have the first time around. He did me justice. He is very talented, knows his stuff, puts you first, and I will never go anywhere else ever again.
