Its always nerve wracking to hire a lawyer. I needed one for a case that was coming up so I talked to several different lawyers some of whom were referrals. Andrew had great reviews and seemed to have a better handle on my situation than the other guys I talked to. On a leap of faith I hired him. He asked for payment up front which I understood but was hesitant about. He worked very hard for me, had great advise and always communicated. It took 18 months because of covid and he never gave up. He finally got my case dismissed against all odds. I couldn't be more happy with his performance!!!

I won my case. Attorney Poole communication with me was great and I really enjoyed working with him. The prosecutor was tough and fought hard against us. But we won the case. Attorney Poole was very well prepared, and he made my future bright again. Still until today I am grateful for choosing him to represent me.

The saying "The lawyers are the only ones getting rich is true. There were a lot of unnecessary emails between the lawyers. The meeting with the mediator was a waste of time. She said all the information wasn't collected so we should reschedule. Of course told that 5 hours in. They get paid hourly. I personally think they are all in on it to get more money. Cost me $1200 for nothing. I had a simple yes or no question to determine if I was to continue and the lawyer wouldn't answer unless I paid another $1500. She had already got $8000. She was nice enough until that point then rude to me. We decided to settle on our own and it worked out. I know not always possible. Alot of unnecessary stress.

he really is the best at what she does. If you give her all your facts up front she can get you where you need to be. I can’t say enough and how she is worth every penny. She is prompt with responses and does not waste your time on the phone. I really like that she tells it like it is because that’s what it takes to understand what needs to be done on your end to keep your kids and to be headed in the right direction as a client. She vouched for me, kept immaculate records, and always had my back. I recommend her to everyone for family law/custody things on the moms pages for a reason. I wouldn’t have my kids and the custody schedule I’m on right now if I had chosen someone else.

I was referred to Jessica by a friend. Jessica did an amazing job with my very complicated divorce. I know she cared as much about the outcome as I did and completely had my best interests in mind. She did an amazing job managing my expectations and her communication skills were very impressive. She did a really great job making me feel comfortable in a very very uncomfortable life event. She was a true professional with experience second to none.

Brenda helped me several years ago with a custody case that had been in and out of courts for years. Brenda was the lawyer that finally made it so that my child had a voice in the hearings. After years of fighting for more time with my child it finally happened. Thank you Brenda for all of your hard work and brutal honesty about how things may or may not go.

Ms. Denton took my case when I had a last minute, urgent situation, and has stuck with me through the end. She knows her family law. I chose Ms. Denton because of her reputation advocating for women in unsafe situations. I have enjoyed working with Ms. Denton through the years. I have come to recognize more about her outside of our case. Ms. Denton is experienced, thorough, intelligent, understanding, straight-forward, kind, and reliable. Lastly, I've noticed the professional rapport she has built in the justice system here in Northern MN. Ms. Denton has been my hero. I rate her 5-stars for walking through my messy and long-standing court case. Miigwech/thank you Ms. Denton!!

Two members of my family retained. Stockman for separate actions. They have not received money from their settlements. Stockman sent out vague letters that cited technical issues for non payment. He failed, as is required by his terms of suspension, to notify that he can not represent clients. I fear my family's settlements have been lost to his cited history of commingling private and client funds.

I retained Mr. Beaumier in November and started giving him all of my court documents. I had to physically drive up to Two Harbors to gather documents cause he refused to submit himself as my lawyer to the courts until he'd finished the actual motion.
It took him about 3 months to file my motion, in that time he continuously charged me to 'review' my case and then charged me to write emails requesting information I'd already given him. When confronted about this he refunded 1 hour of paralegal time, and blamed her, even though a lot of the information had been given directly to him.
When we finally got to the early neutral evaluation, I wanted a piece of information that was granted in my arbitration agreement, but he advised to wait until the agreement became an order. I begrudgingly agreed and then after it became an order and I asked about it, he charged me another $700 to read 3 emails each about a paragraph long (in which I tried to assert my rights) and then advised me he wants a larger retainer to go back to court for something I should have had in the first place.
Mr. Beaumier shows a complete lack of empathy for his clients and zero desire to actually perform the work you pay him for as he takes on average 1 week to respond to any email and will only correspond via his para, that way you have to pay both of them to type out an email.
I cannot recommend to stay away from his practice highly enough.

Didn't even look through discovery, told my husband to take a plea of 6 years prison & 6 years parole. For some weed.$15,000 to look at case &wanted another $15,000 to go to trial . Wouldn't look at any of the supposed warrants , all our assets got taken based off a phone that was later suppressed because of no warrant . No thanks to him or that other arrogant guy he works with . Would not recommend, waste of money & time .

Doctors are often credited with saving lives but in my case it was Mr. Long who saved mine.
Mikkel's non-judgemental,relaxed,empathetic nature made working with him an excellent experience and
the outcome was so much better than I expected. Hopefully you'll never need his help but if you do then know that you are in good hands.

He is confident and isn't pushy like a sales person. He is worth every dollar. His price more than most in area but you get what you pay for. Most lawyers will charge you right up front without seeing discovery and police report he recommended I get it first before he quoted me a price. He is not a lawyer to just to try to get you a plea bargain his goal is to beat the case altogether. I had a lot of anxiety and was calling him frequently even before I retained him and he returned all my calls and was curteous even know I was being extreme. I truly believe he looks out for the best interest of his clients

Shawn was engaged to determine if a real estate company was negligent in their handling of a sale transaction. Promised action within one month. He was given all documentation necessary to pursue the case but, despite promises, did not return phone calls and took no action on the case. We asked for all information/documents to be returned so we could engage another attorney and he had nothing to say/no excuses for doing absolutely nothing. Would never recommend....waste of our time.

Mr. Reed drafted a purchase agreement and a gift of equity letter when my husband and I bought our home. He was very professional but also approachable; he treated all our questions as important, even though I'm sure some were pretty basic. His legal knowledge was impressive, as were the legal documents. He completed the work quickly and charged a very reasonable rate. We saved time and the costs of having a realtor; in fact, it was better to have Mr. Reed involved in the sale than a realtor because he knew the law and could answer all our questions and concerns - reliably. I definitely will hire him again if I need legal assistance in the future and I highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Later having a very bad experience with a previous attorney, I was scared to get too invested in any after that mess. But Gerald has far surpassed my expectations. He always goes above and beyond to make sure that I am represented as best as possible and to make sure that I have had nothing but fairness in and out of the court room. Gerald is hungry, and eager to do all in his power to help his clients. he has even met with me on weekends as to not interrupt my work schedule. I am very thankful to have him on my side. One of my favorite things about him is that he is a real person. He is funny and not a stuffy, stiff attorney with absolutely no persona which helps to make the whole ordeal of dealing with court a lot less stressful. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney. Have a consultation with him and you will see that while he hasn't been practicing for a long time, he has everything to be one of the highest ranked attorneys in just a matter of time.

Benjamin Kaasa is a great attorney. He was able to be a great support and strength in a very sensitive time. Mr. Kaasa is very knowledgeable in what he does, sensitive to my needs (case), knows what he is doing, and is reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him.

I was gravely disappointed in his overall performance concerning his representation during my divorce. There were circumstances, in this particular case, of an unusual nature that could have made a for a less painful end if he would have had the fortitude to actually pursue on my behalf. From the very beginning, he displayed an obvious condescending and arrogant demeanor toward me. One of several examples, on 11/22/19 , I had asked him for a ball park figure regarding the possibility, if this case went trial. His reply, “a ton of money”, or “a truck full of money” and on further occasions when I made this same inquiry…..as if I were incapable of understanding. That same afternoon, I asked about scheduling a consultation before the first scheduled FENE meeting….never got a response.
Later, I dropped off some requested documents, inquired about the importance of some that I couldn’t get and asked about others that I didn’t include…..he just shrugged his shoulders giving me the impression that they weren’t actually that necessary. I also reminded him about the pre-FENE consultation previously requested…..again no response.
Again, dropped off more documents that suddenly became important from the last time he requested info….hummm… and we finally had our pre-FENE consultation due to my constant urging. I asked him about my wife's income and bank account info…if he had requested this disclosure info. His exact response, “I hadn’t had time to ask for it”.....the day before the meeting? Am I not paying him to collect all info, that I have been asked to provide? Luckily, FENE got rescheduled. This should have given him more than enough time to collect the same kind of info that was required of me…..which he didn’t pursue.
He still hadn’t requested it, until the day before the 2nd FENE, in an e-mail to opposing attorney. I again asked him about it that morning at the meeting, his response, "Her attorney says she has nothing and that is good enough for me”…..seriously? My wife had been on her own for three years.
Numerous times he told me that my income wasn’t a factor; because my wife had been self sufficient for the past three years without my financial help. He also told me my home, which was purchased in 1994, could be considered non-marital. I asked about the validity of this, and his exact response, “I’m not worried about it” and just disregarded my inquiry. Seriously?.. he obviously didn’t do his homework as it was a completely different set of circumstances when I showed up at the 02/11/20 FENE meeting.
During this entire process, he was unforthcoming and almost to the point of being blatantly misleading …all the way up to the morning of the 2nd scheduled FENE meeting. His efforts in representing me were lame and lackadaisical with his obvious attitude being, that any judgments or agreements against me were unimportant, as he had my retainer in hand, why try to actually represent his client for a more favorable and fair outcome?
During the FENE meeting, he was shiftless and unhelpful. I felt he had made some kind of a “deal” with the opposing attorney before I even arrived....for it sure seemed that way, as he starting back peddling on everything he had previously told me about her access to my income, home equity values, personal property be it marital or non-marital, etc. He should have scheduled a consultation sometime before, to prepare me for these so called “changes” from his original dialogue/findings?
Also, flashing around a Family Law text book made me sadly realize his level of incompetence, especially when he couldn’t even correctly formalize the equity in my home that she might be entitled…..he relied on her attorney's numbers without even fact checking.
I certainly wouldn’t recommend Benjamin Kaasa representing on any legal matter.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kaasa as our attorney in a step-parent adoption matter. Both he and his office were very thorough throughout our case. They were great at responding to questions we had, and wonderful about keeping us informed at the status of our case. From our initial consultation to our final hearing, he was excellent every step of the way. I would certainly recommend Mr. Kaasa for family law needs.

Ms Trogdon is quite nice in person. That's the end of the good news. She wrote a recommendation to the judge in our case. Her recommendation was not even possible under the statute. On two separate points.
In addition to lack of basic ability to interpret the law, her opinion was fully biased and illustrated everything "old" and wrong leftover in the court system against equal parenting.
The judge thankfully threw her opinion out as it was not possible under the statute.
Stay away. She should not be hired or working in any meaningful manner to do with families in the 21st century.

Consulted for a simple family real estate transaction. John Bray produced a wholly incomplete and worthless draft purchase agreement with incorrect math, incorrect references to the parties involved, in a thrown together manner not worthy of a first year law student.
