Our Results

OWI/DUI: Not Guilty

OWI 3rd/Refusal — A Minnesota man was found not guilty after Nelson Defense Group took his OWI case to trial. Initially set for a plea and sentencing with another attorney, the firm highlighted the state’s lack of blood or breath tests and false field sobriety claims to win the case.

Client passed field sobriety testing that was given.

OWI/DUI: Not Guilty

OWI/PAC 3rd, criminal damage, THC possession, and paraphernalia — A Minnesota man was charged in Wisconsin after driving on private campground property. Before trial, Nelson Defense Group had the drug charges separated from the alcohol-based OWI/DUI charges. After a not guilty verdict, state dropped the remaining charges.

The driving was on private property and attempted OWI is not a crime.

OWI/DUI: Not Guilty

OWI — Man charged with driving under the influence on a highway.

The state’s evidence, including breath and standardized field sobriety tests were not liable or sufficient evidence to meet their burden of proof.

He is a very intelligent man with a background to prove it in the court of law. No one else I would rather have standing in my corner in defense!"

Natasha R.
"Mr. Nelson and his team were wonderful. I had a fairly complex case that required a lot of time and effort, but Mr. Nelson did not hesitate to take the case and exceed my expectations. Connie, Mr. Nelson’s assistant, was always a pleasure to work with as well. I would recommend the Nelson Defense Group to anyone in need of a strong team. You won’t be disappointed."
Hussein A.
"Incredibly pragmatic and professional. They were able to make the most difficult decisions a bit easier by making sure I was informed and properly advised. All of the legal processes were facilitated due to the defense group’s experience and familiarity with the particular court that we worked with. For my first experience with a defense group, I wouldn’t have wanted it to go any differently."
Nick J.
"I highly encourage any individual faced with a traumatic event that has the potential to make life harder and inflict you with a struggle you do not want to face alone to seek out Aaron Nelson. Day-to-day life can be draining and tiresome enough, without involving the law and the ramifications tied with it. He seriously knows the loss potential you are facing and listens."
Elizabeth R.
"I thank God for bringing Aaron Nelson, & his group into my son’s life. His belief in my son’s total innocence and his fight for justice is something we will never forget! I would highly recommend Nelson Defense to anyone who is in search of an Attorney who will truly fight for their legal rights!"
