Prices
The Civil Rights and Discrimination page says the firm has represented clients who were discriminated against, racially profiled, falsely arrested, or unlawfully detained by law enforcement personnel. It states that some laws protect people from discrimination and make it illegal for government officials to deprive them of their constitutional and civil rights, that a person may be entitled to compensation for their damages, and that the firm will negotiate or sue on their behalf.
The page says the firm's attorneys have tried cases in federal court for excessive force and unlawful arrest. The examples it gives are a negotiated settlement for a client stopped and arrested on account of his nationality by police, a federal lawsuit and settlement with the State of Minnesota over Minnesota DNR officers violating the rights of Latino hunters, and a suit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement for unlawfully detaining people based on nationality and religion. These are past matters the firm published; they say nothing about what would happen in any other case.

On cost, this is the one fee arrangement the site states: "We take most civil rights cases on a contingent-fee basis, which means you owe us nothing unless we can recover money for you." The word "most" is the site's own. The site does not publish a contingency percentage, an hourly rate, a price list, or any other fees, costs or expenses for civil rights work, and it does not say which cases fall outside that arrangement. Anyone wanting a quote or an estimate for their situation should contact the office at (612) 822-6269 or info@denestlaw.com.

The criminal matters the page lists are: felonies and misdemeanors in state and federal court, DUI, DWI, assault, robbery, drugs, theft, burglary, domestic assault, solicitation, and "among others."
On post-conviction relief, the page says that if a person pled guilty to an offense that currently prevents them from applying for or obtaining legal status, or could result in deportation, it might be possible to reopen the case and find a better resolution. It states the firm has helped clients reduce, expunge, vacate or otherwise alter a prior plea, sentence or record of conviction in felony and misdemeanor cases in both state and federal court. The page also notes that the immigration consequences of a conviction vary from person to person and depend on facts such as the date of the conviction, the person's immigration status, and prior criminal history, and it invites people to call to schedule a consultation to see whether those consequences can be addressed.
The page includes a section addressed to other criminal defense attorneys, offering expert opinion letters on the immigration consequences of a potential plea agreement, and describes attorney Bruce D. Nestor as a nationally-recognized expert in that field.
The site does not publish prices, rates, retainers or any fee estimate for criminal defense or post-conviction work. Contact the office at (612) 822-6269 or info@denestlaw.com about cost and to book a consultation.
