Firm Overview

Lawyer in St. Paul, Minnesota

Over 35 Years of Experience

At the law offices of Stephen L. Nelson, Attorney and Counselor at Law, we have over 35 years of experience working with individuals and businesses in St. Paul and the surrounding communities. We understand that every situation is unique and tailor our work to meet the individual needs of each client. We customize agreements to meet your business needs. Contact our offices to arrange a confidential consultation.

At our offices, we maintain the same professional approach to the practice of law that attorney Nelson's father took when he first opened his law practice over 75 years ago. We continue to run our practice out of the same location that attorney Nelson's father moved into over 50 years ago.

Attorney Nelson brings substantial knowledge to his clients, having obtained his undergraduate degree in business, with an emphasis on accounting. He draws on his extensive knowledge of financial issues when advising estate planning and business clients, including estate tax issues and asset protection. After graduating from college, he worked as a clerk in his father's law office before and while attending law school.

Attorney Nelson also manages a medium-sized foundation, so he understands the benefits of charitable giving and how to incorporate charitable gifts into your estate planning.

At our offices, we focus our practice on:

  • Probate and Trust Administration. We work with executors, administrators and personal representatives, helping you successfully meet the requirements of the probate process. We also advise trustees and beneficiaries of a variety of trusts. See our page on probate and trust administration for additional information.

  • Estate Planning. We help you understand the various strategies available to bring about the orderly distribution of your estate and prepare all necessary documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care directives. For additional information, see our page on estate planning.

  • Business Law. We represent individuals and companies who need advice regarding business transactions, from the selection of an appropriate business form to the negotiation, review and preparation of business contracts. To learn more, see our page on business law.

  • Real Estate. We also assist with real estate matters, including purchase and sale of real estate.

To set up a private meeting, contact us or call us at (651) 646-5000. We have been at the same location, just north of University on Snelling Avenue, for over 50 years.

Attorney Nelson is AV-rated under Martindale-Hubbell's Peer Review Rating System.*
