Jenna E. Nelson

As a litigator, I seek to understand your business and the unique challenges you face. I draw on that knowledge, and my experience clerking in the Iowa appellate court system, to ensure the best possible outcome. I strive to be your trusted advocate and to offer you thoughtful and straight-forward legal advice at all stages of a dispute. 

My Approach

As your attorney and advocate, I will always work hard and collaborate with you to understand your case and what is at stake. It is important to me that you understand the legal issues and what may result at each step of the process. Litigation can be disruptive to your life and business, and I aim to make the process more manageable with candid communication and practical legal advice. I will always seek to resolve your case in the most efficient and desirable manner.  

More About Me

I am proud to be an Iowa native and a “double” Hawkeye! I am a 2020 graduate from the University of Iowa with my B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Rhetoric and Persuasion. In 2023, I graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law with high distinction and was admitted to the Iowa Bar. At Iowa Law, I served as a Student Writer and Managing Editor of the Iowa Law Review. Upon graduation, I earned membership to the Order of the Coif.  

Before joining BrownWinick, I had the privilege of clerking for the Honorable Edward M. Mansfield of the Iowa Supreme Court (2023-2024). There, I gained invaluable insight to the Iowa legal system and appellate process that I carry with me throughout my practice. I am currently a member of the Polk County, Iowa State, and American Bar Associations.
