The law firm of Eric C. Nelson, Attorney opened in 1996. Prior to graduation from the University of Minnesota Law school in may of 1994, Eric C. Nelson spent two years as a judicial clerk for the Honorable Lois J. Lang, Judge of District Court, with a workload that primarily involved the drafting of divorce decrees, orders, and legal memoranda on a host of issues pertaining to divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, spousal maintenance, distribution of marital and non-marital property, valuation of property, domestic abuse and harassment, and the like. Through this prestigious judicial clerkship, Eric C. Nelson attained a great deal of inside experience and expertise in family law from a side of the bench most practitioners never see.

Eric C. Nelson's practice is devoted exclusively to family law, with particular focus on divorce and child custody matters, including post-decree modification of custody. Eric C. Nelson has successfully handled hundreds of cases of divorces (both contested and uncontested), child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, parenting time, out-of-state moves, domestic abuse, harassment, and other miscellaneous family law matters, both in and out of court. Eric C. Nelson has been praised by clients for a respectful attitude, promptness and honesty. References are available upon request.

With a practice that is concentrated solely on family law, Eric C. Nelson's clients have the advantage of a focused expertise that many lawyers who practice in more than one field of law are never able to attain.

Characteristic of the practice of Eric C. Nelson is a high level of individual client attention and communication, and the highest standard of professionalism and competence. Eric C. Nelson's clients deal directly with him --- not with a legal secretary or paralegal.

Eric C. Nelson, Attorney does not charge for an initial phone consultation or initial office interview.
