About
Alex Nelson, a partner at Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson, joined the firm in 2008, and brought with him a wealth of experience in construction defect litigation and insurance coverage issues. Prior to joining Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson, he practiced at a Denver law firm that served the construction industry, working for both general contractors and real estate developers. His experience spans a wide range of both litigated and non-litigated matters, primarily focused in the areas of construction defects, real estate, insurance, and other commercial disputes. He has worked in both state and federal courts, including trial through jury verdict, and is experienced with all forms of alternative disputes resolution, as well as post-trial and appellate work. He has written, spoken, and consulted on construction defect and liability insurance related issues. Alex’s practice is now focused exclusively on representing homeowners and homeowners’ associations in construction defect claims. Alex was selected for inclusion in 2011 and 2012 Colorado Super Lawyers’ Rising Stars list as one of the top attorneys in Colorado. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected to the list. Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process is multi-phased and includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. Alex received his B.A. in Environmental Studies and German from Middlebury College, and his J.D. from the University of Colorado School of Law. He is a founder and benefactor of the annual Stigler/Nelson Alpine Endeavors Scholarship (affectionately known by students as the “Ski Bum Scholarship”) at the University of Colorado School of Law. The scholarship is awarded to the third-year law student whose essay demonstrates a passion for alpine sports, and an ability to excel in them in spite of the rigors of the legal curricula. Alex lives in Boulder with his wife Jen, daughter Gabi, son Max, and their two German shepherds.
