Biography
As a seasoned litigator and trial attorney, I specialize in providing legal counsel and representation to religious organizations and foreign individuals seeking religious asylum. With over three decades of legal practice under my belt, my professional journey began in 1983 following my graduation from law school. After gaining invaluable experience at prestigious law firms in Chicago and New York, I founded my own practice in the heart of New York City. In 2016, I collaborated with two esteemed colleagues to establish Nelson Madden Black LLP, a law firm dedicated to serving churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and individuals navigating legal matters with religious implications. Our firm has been highlighted in various reputable publications, including the Wall Street Journal's blog. I hold a Juris Doctor degree from Northwestern University's Pritzker School of Law, where I served as the managing editor of the Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business. Additionally, I obtained a master's degree in international relations from The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts University and a bachelor's degree in American Studies from Yale College. Recognized as a Super Lawyer since 2012 and rated "AV Preeminent" by Martindale-Hubbell since 1998, my extensive legal background can be explored further on my firm's official website: http://nelsonmaddenblack.com
