Terrible experience with this law firm. Like many others, I had a great conversation with Dick Morris saying we absolutely had a case and they would be thrilled to represent us. They asked for a retainer of $5,000 and then threw us to a junior lawyer who had no idea what she was doing. Over $24,0000 in bills later we lost the case and I still have the same home issues I did when I retained Morris Law Group. Buyer beware.

Worst law firm every. We hired they on November 3 2023 and we're told it was a easy straight forward case and should be resolved by Christmas. When it is still on resolved and obsoletely now progress on the case in 8 months. They are very poor at returning phone calls and emails to both their clients and the other parties lawyer. They wasted 8 months of our time on a very time sensitive case. Stay very clear from them. Especially Richard Hechter. This law firm should be investigated by the BBB and the State Attorney General.

I would highly recommend not retaining attorneys from the Morris Law Group.
Last fall, my siblings and I were directed to retain an attorney due to a relative openly admitting not upholding their fiduciary duties in our family partnership. This impacted my sisters and I.
We retained Amy Mattson and she included her former coworker Patrick Kennedy for some reason. We spent several months responding to emails (sometimes being double-billed for having to respond to the same question that we already answered), they were unable to assist us with our document request per our partnership agreement, we were billed to refresh their memory despite already providing them with the information via an email that we were already billed for, and we did not receive any legal advocacy with our matter - they both seemed very disinterested in our case and more concerned about racking up legal fees.
Our last meeting with Amy and opposing counsel, she said very little and deferred to my sister and I to represent ourselves during the meeting.
When it was all said and done, they didn’t assist us in anyway.
I would highly recommend avoiding this law firm and do your research when retaining attorneys, you deserve better.

Our Lawyer, James, was better than we ever expected. He let us know all of our choices and was not negative when we told him we we go the distance, because we didn’t do anything wrong.

I wanted to share a thank you for the genuine commitment to me as I went through my divorce. When someone, like yourself, makes sure to understand a situation and provide counsel, solutions, and comfort it makes all the difference. I needed confidence as I was pretty beat down at that point and you helped me have that.
It was important for me to let you know that.
Gratefully!

Dave is a very competent, kind, wise attorney! He understood my objectives and gave great counsel. He also responded to my questions and emails and did the work necessary in a very timely manner. I completely recommend him!

My experience with David runs counter to Laurie’s. I went through an amicable divorce recently and from the very first call with him I had concerns about keeping costs down. David kept a detailed log of time and never seemed to ramp up costs. In fact, he discounted a small amount of time because we were starting to exceed our higher cost estimates.
David did a good job of balancing minimum required “lawyer stuff” with watching out for my rights and counseling me on protections I could take.
If you don’t want to spend a lot on divorce lawyer fees, make an effort to get along with your soon-to-be ex... or better yet, don’t neglect your marriage in the first place and stay married.

The great thing about Tim Simonson is he really only works in one area of the law which is child custody and because of this has a fair amount of knowledge and skills in this area and a good amount of passion for his work.
He is approachable, professional, and I only gave him four (out of five) stars since I think he needs another decade to be top notch in this field and the work he did for me was good but not exceptional.

My name Marta.
I am from Ukraine.
I had two lawyers. They humiliated my dignity, threatened me that my husband was deported me from America if I do not sign the divorce papers on his terms. I left those not professionals. I accidentally met Tim and only 2 hours free work with me, he gave me the information did not provide my former lawyers.
Tim give me great hope faith.
Later, I will write about our work results.

Tim Simonson changed my families lives for the better.
Does Tim sound like he knows what he is talking about? Check
Does Tim explain it calmly to you so you can feel confident in the next step of your case? Check
Does Tim keep his emotions in check so that he can work on the case to the best of his abilities? Check
Things to look for in a lawyer is being comfortable around them which is easy around Tim. A clear structure of payments due which is broken down per bill. Plenty of communication and availability which is what you will get from Tim. I can call Tim right now and fully expect he'd pick up the phone. In the off chance he's already with a client I'll get a call back within the hour. He's awesome.
Heck our Judge had no idea what they were doing and was making the wrong calls according to the law. A lesser lawyer would have LOST that case and my family would be split right now in two different states. Tim set that Judge straight. Think about that. That Judge has to have a Giant sized Ego at this point and the last thing on earth they want to do is admit they were wrong. That's quite the uphill battle but we're all together here because he was up to the challenge.
The internet can be a negative place sometimes. Go look at the "Yelp" reviews for your favorite restaurant. Search by rating then hit it again to get the lowest ratings first....go ahead...I'll wait. Back, good. Notice how many people HATE your favorite restaurant, sad isn't it. Which is why you can't use online reviews for anything, even this one. You have to go do this in person. Go meet with Tim and you'll be happy you did.

Marc Beyer is very knowledgeable about all areas of the divorce process. I had numerous questions which he answered in detail and with great patience to ensure I understood exactly what the process would be like. He has great compassion and helped keep me calm, informed, and assured throughout this very difficult and highly emotional process.

Marc Beyer had the knowledge and experience I needed to complete my divorce. There was a fair amount at stake here and he was able to make the divorce process smooth and successful. Marc was accessible and responsive, returning my calls promptly and almost instantly responding to my emails. It makes a huge difference having a lawyer like Marc during an impossible event you never in a million years saw coming. I would highly recommend him without hesitation.

Alicia is excellent. Her communication is concise, while offering empathy and patience hearing out any questions or concerns as they may arise. She is very good at what she does on a technical level, and perhaps more importantly she is incredible flexible if and when something unexpected comes up. She is exactly who you want on your side.
I met with dozens of firms when I was considering taking legal action, and from the very beginning she stood out from everyone else. Looking back, I'm absolutely sure I made the right choice.

While representing me an unfair Labor practice against the Union and companies of the Union she failed to do simple legal research of unfair labor practices. After I discovered a multitude of unfair Labor practice laws that prohibited the companies and the Union of the treatment that they have done to me she refused to amend my complaint. As I constantly try to speak with her about the issue she became closed off and very combative. Unfair Labor practice laws the only took me less than 5 minutes to discover was laws that she never discovered on her own which leads me to believe she did absolutely zero research on my case. Not only that but it's unfair Labor practice laws that in my case cannot be debated by the defendant side. Unfair Labor practice laws like the violation of the Beck Act, Weingardener Act, Total Security under NLRB, and many more. Which we would have been able to prove without a reasonable doubt I did not receive as a union member and my case would be one. It also would prove the violation of the duty of representation of the Union itself in the union participation in the discriminatory practices that constitutes as unfair Labor practice it automatically entitles me to full back pay, front pay and punitive damages. Instead this lawyer refused to amend the original complaint which spoke nothing on the violation of unfair labor practices which was the exact reason that we were in court. Then this lawyer turned around and motion to be removed from my case because she was absolutely combative with a man in the complaint and adding the right case laws that was undeniable in the matter. And then she demands thousands of dollars in retribution after she failed to represent me correctly and properly research angles to win my case. This lawyer is a scam artist that makes poor financially disabled people sign a bogus contract agreement to secure her representation that's access for a high interest on the case when won. Knowing that the people calling is in desperate need she acts as a wolf and sheep clothing only communicating to rob the disenfranchised. Do you like knowledge of cases that she agree to join, well at least in my case. Then she does not put in the effort to properly defend the vulnerable worker that suffered the Injustice from their employer. I would not recommend this lawyer to my worst enemy. The laws that I've mentioned within this review I had to find on my own and once I tried to present the laws and help her out because she told me if I want my complaint amended I will have to find a different attorney. If you are someone with a strong case and financially disabled I would warn you not to take this road because in my experience it would not lead to the success in the case that would be deemed appropriate. It was absolutely a terrible experience and journey. So this attorney gets zero Stars and anyone that is bold enough to challenge my review here and seek to find out for themselves all I can do is pray for you and your family. My sincere's testimony from only my personal standpoint from my personal experience with this attorney. She will expect for you to pay her thousands of dollars even when she asked the courts to remove her from your case because she refuses to make corrections which is necessary for the greater good to your claims. Again I say this only for my personal experience, you have been warned.

When I had a work-related problem, and suffered significant stress-related issues because of it, I turned to Alicia Anderson for guidance. She had been recommended to me by a highly trusted source.
From the prompt return of my initial call until the satisfactory culmination of my situation, Alicia could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and supportive.
Ms. Anderson listens, hearing not only the facts, but the emotional turmoil that some situations engender, and she handles both the legal and emotional sides equally well.
I could not have asked for better representation or more clear explanations of the applicable law. The value of her advice and attention to detail, combined with her ability to ascertain an effective resolution cannot be overstated.
I would recommend Ms. Anderson for anyone. She will be straightforward, hugely competent and resolute in her pursuit of a fair outcome for you.

I paid my retainer and was told the complaint would be filed shortly after that. After approximately 60 days, I didn't hear anything from Mr. Tarasek until my credit card was charged for some apparent work. No case filed, I canceled our agreement, and very little paperwork to show for the charges. I had to request an invoice which I never received and had to request copies of the complaint which I never received.

Recently had a custody and child support battle with the mother of my nine year old daughter.
As biased as Minnesota Courts are against fathers, I went into this battle very discouraged already. Derk Schweiger was amazing in court, and I felt that because of his professional demeanor, articulateness, and sheer brilliance in court, the judge was able to see where I was coming from, and my life situation, my desire to better myself as a man, and my desire to be a father. The judgment was more than fair, and I was very happy that I chose Derk to be my lawyer. I have referred him to several people, and if need be, I will definitely call upon him again. He was professional, organized, clever, and not as expensive as other lawyers in the metro area.
Thanks again! -Ryan Wagner

Marvin Hennen Attorney at law was highly referred to us by “Wager, Falconer & Judd, LTD” thru our pre-paid legal services.
Marvin explained the entire Bankruptcy process, what to expect and how it was going to affect us.
He kept us informed and looked out for our best interests.
He is very honest, prepared us for court and most of all he gave us peace of mind.
After our Bankruptcy he has continued to help us with post-bankruptcy questions.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who will represent your best interests, NOT the banks, then Marvin Hennen Attorney at law is your answer.
Hennen Law Firm Fees are very reasonable.
I would highly recommend Marvin Hennen Attorney at Law. A+ Service

Marvin skipped town when told he was working on our case.
We had critical dates to meet which he missed.
It took several days for him to call me back. When he did he left a message to call him back. I called a few minutes later. he had been gone for a while. Therefore he was not at the number he told me to call him back at. The bottom line is that he took our case with no intention of working on it in a timely matter, which was requested.

Linda Wray is phenomenal, and even that is an understatement. Her professionalism, incredible knowledge, and responsiveness while still being understanding and a compassionate advocate through what are some of the most difficult and challenging times are what makes her the incredible lawyer you want. Linda looks at the big picture. She's completely buttoned up and goes to bat 1000% in challenging the other party. But she does it in the right way, on the things that matter, so that the process doesn't devolve. Her true goal is to avoid courtroom litigation for her client due to the emotional and monetary costs involved. But she is a rock star in front of the judge when there is no other recourse. Be ready for Linda to appropriately challenge you as her client, too -- and you want that, trust me. Divorces can and will get emotional, especially difficult ones. Emotions can cloud a party's best judgement on how to proceed, what to do and how to act, and Linda will appropriately counsel her client on the bigger picture and with an eye on what is in the best interest of you as her client and your ROI in order to keep the process from getting mired in senseless difficulties. This can be difficult to hear at times due to emotions, but is the right approach and truly in your best interest. You can be certain Linda will be your lawyer, your advocate, she'll listen, she'll challenge, she'll hit hard when hitting hard is needed, and she'll get you the best outcome that you deserve through certainly one of the most difficult times you will ever face. I cannot recommend Linda more highly.

Comes across as strong, confident and is convincing, but she wanted to move through the critical parts of the case ASAP and didn't seem to put much thought into what was in my best interest. In hind-sight I know I could have fared much better at the end of the divorce and ultimately my kids and I have a lower standard of living because of her lack of caring. I expected much better service for the price.

I meet with Brian to get legal assistance regarding tenants that were making unfounded threats. Brian advised what the law states and how to address the tenants so that I am following the law and protecting myself against future legal action. I found that Brian is really an expert in this field of law and he will be my first point of contact should I come across any legal scenario in the future.

I talked to Blake to get help with a rental property and tenant issues. Blake is very experienced and has lots of background to draw from. He new the situation I was in and how I could best approach the situation. Blake and his firm provide services to landlords providing clients with leases, modifications, helping with laws and regulations; and expert legal opinions.

I retained Niecie M Strand after having 2 previous lawyers in my high conflict divorce. I wish I had retained Niecie right from the start, for she was given a tough situation with a lot to cover in a short amont of time. She went to work, and work she did. There were several times when Niecie and myself would be on the phone discussing my divorce, and she would have an email sent out to me, the Judge and the Petitoner’s side, ready to review, before we got off the phone. I know that sounds unrealistic but it the truth or close to it. She is Sharp, and on top of it in mediation, court or any situation that came up. Niecie also has the ability to negotiate hard on your behave, she’s not just a middle man. She is tough, Gritty, and will go to bat for you. I now set the bar at her standards if I ever need a lawyer again. I highly recommend Niecie M Stand to anyone in a divorce and hire her early.

Not only did my fiancé not get what he wanted! But they clearly seem to favor the opposing side! And to think we paid 3,000 up front for what ?! He didn’t even get what he wanted. And they’re asking for an additional 900$, do not go with Cordell! Was not worth it only thing that can happen is if they can actually give my fiancé his money worth! Doubt that’ll happen though.

Jamie Held collected her fee and made up a nice binder book, but did not follow through with filing the papers necessary for my trust. My biggest asset, my IRA, was never put in the trust. I’m gonna have to do that myself to make sure it’s done. I would not recommend her at all.

Jamie Held helped me and my husband create a will and estate plan. She is knowledgeable and thorough, and walked us through each step of the process. She was easy to communicate with via phone and email, and patiently answered all of our questions. Jamie took the time to explain the process to us, and helped educate us not only on the estate plan that we were developing now, but also on updates and next steps that we may want to consider as our family grows and changes. I highly recommend Jamie Held for any estate planning, trust, or probate needs.

Jennifer is an outstanding estate planning and estate administration attorney. She assisted my parents with their estate plan, and later assisted me with the administration of their estates. She assisted us with complex tax planning strategies that yielded a great deal more money for us as the beneficiaries. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and straightforward. I highly recommend her.

Jennifer did a child-support modification for me a few years ago. She is dreadful at math and used income that was $200 less per month than the docs said. Do not trust her with math, she will cost you.
