About
Armed with more than 30 years of legal experience in Social Security disability and workers’ compensation, I serve Minnesota individuals injured at work or disabled from employment. My years in general practice and while representing the interests of employers and insurance companies provide me with invaluable experience and insights into how the insurance industry operates. I try to keep my clients one step ahead of the opposition, with tenacious pursuit of benefits for injured and disabled individuals throughout Minnesota.After graduating from law school at the University of North Dakota, I practiced law in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, working as a general practice attorney. I represented individuals injured in work and other accidents. I represented farmers in many different disputes. I represented persons denied unemployment compensation. I represented criminal defendants. I worked as a divorce attorney. I was court appointed to represent juveniles in parental rights matters. I represented individuals in contested commitment proceedings. I represented workers' compensation claimants and Social Security disability claimants.I enjoyed my general practice experience. It taught me a lot about working with folks from many backgrounds, from farmers, to the unemployed, to alleged criminals, to injured persons. I learned something from every client. I still do today. My small town general practice experience continues to influence how I approach the law.After working in a general practice, I switched gears and practiced exclusively representing persons injured in motor vehicle accidents. Thereafter, I worked for many years as an attorney representing insurers and their insureds in personal injury and workers' compensation matters.I learned a lot from this experience too. My insurance industry experience also influences my current practice, as I know the tricks, tactics and strategies used by insurance companies to force injured workers into inappropriate settlements or to end payments to injured workers earlier than the law would provide.When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife (who also happens to be a lawyer) and two daughters. I take advantage of Minnesota’s many outdoor pursuits, including fishing, hunting with my pudelpointer (Rye), climbing, cross country and downhill skiing, and travel.

Mr. Nelson won my social security appeal case for me. Without his guidance, expertise, proffesionalism, attention to details, I am certain my chance of the same outcome would have been impossible. Mr. Nelson continued his efforts and stayed ontop of my medical records even while I was unresponsive for a period of months . he was unable to locate or reach me yet still kept trying. I am so thankful I found his services when I did, and I reccomend his firm highly. even if my case had been lost, it would not have been at the fault of Nelson law. Five stars! And thank you to you, and Barb for helping me. This literally has felt life saving to have happened to me.
Greg Nelson was compassionate and listened to all the details of my case in a non-judgemental demeanor. He got me into his office right away and began plugging away at my case with realistic expectations. His secretary was very detailed and did not miss a beat. They were both always readily available and or mailing out communications immediately. He fought for me and told me from start to finish exactly what was to be expected and delivered the exact outcome. Impressive is an understatement. I will forever be indebted to him and Barb. I am blessed to have had him as my attorney.
Gregg Nelson came highly recommended to me by a life-long friend who had also needed to file for SSDI. I hired Gregg very early on in regards to my back injury as I knew it was quite serious. I wanted him to handle it from the initial application and forward so that I could just focus on my upcoming surgery and the long recovery to follow. I am very grateful to, Gregg Nelson, and his Legal Assistant, Barbara Oberstar, who were very professional throughout the entire process. I won my case and I would highly recommend Gregg Nelson and his legal team to anyone. Much thanks to all.
Gregg Nelson was very knowledgeable, organized, concise and effective in preparing for and representing me on my Social Security Disability appeal. I highly recommend him.
Gregg represented me in workers compensation claims beginning in 1983. I had a bad back injury and needed surgery. The workers compensation insurer denied my claim, but Gregg helped me get the compensation and care I was due. He has continued to represent me over the years in medical claims and subsequent injuries. He is now my friend as well as my lawyer.
