About Kaarin Nelson

Kaarin is the founding partner of Nelson Schaffer, PLLC and a fierce advocate for her clients. She began her training as a trial lawyer right out of law school. Since that time, she has helped 100s of clients get successful results, spoken at conferences around the country, graduated from the most prestigious trial college in the country, and trains trial lawyers throughout the country. When you ask what makes Kaarin unique - the answer is clear. Kaarin is a trial lawyer and she is also kind. She is both aggressive and compassionate, making her a wonderful counselor and advisor. And because she is a trial lawyer and loves trying cases, she won’t encourage you to take a bad settlement or discourage you from pushing your case into litigation and trial if that is what is right for your case. She feels confident at every stage of the life of a case, so she will do what is absolutely right for you. She will fight for you.

Kaarin also understands that not everyone likes to litigate and try cases like she does. Just as she will not push you to settle your case, she also will not push you to go to trial if that is not right for you. Kaarin will listen and work with you to figure out the best possible outcome for you. Her focus is to be here for you.

Kaarin has been named a Minnesota Rising Star or Super Lawyer every year since 2014. She speaks regularly at employment related conferences as well as trial related conferences. She teaches trial attorneys all over the country, and Kaarin was recently named a Minnesota Attorney of the Year.
