I engaged Blair Nelson to help resolve a complicated property line and easement dispute with a neighbor. His deep experience was immediately apparent. He referenced specific Minnesota statutes and case law from his decades of practice, and his admission to the Federal District Court gave us a strategic edge when a related federal issue briefly surfaced. Blair is pragmatic and doesn't escalate unnecessarily; he secured a favorable settlement through persistent negotiation, saving us the cost and stress of a trial. His knowledge of both Minnesota and North Dakota law was an unexpected asset, as our title search involved a parcel originally platted under older ND statutes. The only slight drawback was that during very busy periods, response times to emails could stretch to 48 hours, but phone calls were always returned promptly. For solid, no-nonsense legal counsel in Columbus, I confidently recommend Blair W. Nelson.
