Mike Ingvaldson and his team at Nicolet Law took considerable care with my case. My case had been dragging on for years at another law firm and when Mike took over, I had my settlement within months. I appreciate his clear communication and all the effort he and his team put into wrapping things up. 10/10, would recommend!

They helped me post accident and were very nice and drove a couple of hours just to meet me and learn about my accident. They understood my needs and limitations and worked with me to get the most of what I needed. It was nice that the law firm is family run and they are family-oriented.

This review is long overdue. Caroline and her team helped us with my wife's green card and it couldn't have gone any smoother. Excellent, clear, and timely communication, precision and attention to detail, reliability, and professionalism are what you and your loved ones can expect from Ostrom Law Office. While waiting at the USCIS office with Caroline for our interview, we could see first-hand the difference in preparation and care that was offered by Caroline and her team compared to others. Thank you, Caroline!

When my husband and I decided to get our affairs in order and develop an estate plan we found an amazing attorney, Timothy J. Scott (TJ). From the very first meeting and through the entire process TJ provided answers to our questions and explained the legal terms involved in a revocable living trust. All information discussed was provided in a format for our reference. TJ is extremely easy to talk with and we felt comfortable he listened to our concerns. Change is inevitable and TJ assured us he will be available to answer questions we might have in the future. We feel confident we made the right choice in working with the Law Office of Timothy J. Scott, P. A.

When searching for lawyers for my fathers DUI case, I came across several lawyers but from the few that I spoke with over the phone or in person, no one came close to David. From start to finish he was so kind, understanding and responsive! When meeting with him I truly appreciated his honesty and expertise regarding options and knew that we would be in good hands moving forward with him. He is very knowledgeable about the Anoka court system and was very patient and in explaining the process with my father and I. In the end the case was able to be dismissed! We are very happy with the outcome and working with David. We always got latest updates throughout the process and communication was top notch! I can’t recommend him and his team enough!!

We had a difficult foster adoption case. He was straight forward and told me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear. This ended up saving our family from what would have been a large financial burden. He spent a lot of time on us without ever being signed up to represent us yet. Very down to earth and caring person. I highly recommend!

James helped me with absolutely everything about my divorce, all the way from discussing with me the language I did not understand and helped me see the bigger picture in what was a very messy divorce. I felt heard, seen, and was treated like a human by James, even though the other parties made me feel none of that. I appreciate the heart and time that James took to help me through a year-long divorce and feel that we truly "won" even though no one wins in a divorce. I will forever use James as my attorney if there is anything in the future that needs to be changed or updated.

Throughout my time running a PE firm over the past 15 years I've brushed shoulders with my fair share of lawyers. Even though most are decent, I rarely find those that are truly excellent. I'm happy to say that has been the case with Elliot, Kirsten, and Erin. My group found ourselves in a pretty sticky and complex situation, and Elliot and his team got us the very best possible outcome. They were professional, concise, and very easy to work with. They worked quickly to gather all the information surrounding our issue and understand it completely. Then they took the reins and guided the situation, but always asked for input and direction from us along the way. They were even cool enough to allow my estate attorney to participate without being at all territorial.
Although I don't feel like I have unreasonable expectations, I do hold professionals to a high standard, and I'm happy to say that I would 100% use Elliot and his team in the future.

Since the first time I spoke with Brandon I knew he was the right one. Even tho I still received many many calls from other lawyers I knew I already had the right choice. Didn’t disappoint it took longer than expected but I can take the blame for that because I dragged on getting him the documents he needed. But as soon as I got him everything it took him weeks to get me approved and a check to me. Very happy with Brandon. You won’t be disappointed. One of the easiest person to communicate with reply’s fast and never gives you wrong information or tells you false information.

I hired Mr. Hall to handle some business issues I was facing. He is thorough, extremely smart, works very hard, kept me informed throughout, and got exactly what I was hoping to get - even more! I will retain Mr. Hall again without hesitation. He and his entire law firm are one of the greatest businesses I have ever worked with on a project - and for me, he was my (and my company's) attorney. I've used too many attorney who did not come close to meeting my expectation - let alone going beyond what was expected. Honestly, I would have paid twice as much for his services if I had known how great he was. Simply outstanding. I just wish I had found him and Thompson Hall law firm sooner.

Betsy is wonderful to work with....she completely helped to put my mind at ease.
She is friendly, professional and helpful. She explains things in language that is easier to understand.
She walked us through what was most important for us to have in place legally., and what addictions or changes we needed to make to our contracts, waivers, etc. due to all of the current COVID restrictions and guidelines.
She makes herself available, and is always very prompt with getting what we need done.
I would highly recommend her to anyone in the events industry....she definitely gets it!

I am an independent contractor - commissioned sales rep - and wanted advice about choice of law and where would be the best location to file a lawsuit for unpaid commissions.
Craig helped me by analyzing my potential claim and the applicabilty of Minnesota laws to my case. Specifically, he addressed the Minnesota Termination of Sales Representatives Act and Minnesota Statutes 181.145 as it might apply to a contractor not located in or having territory including Minnesota (the company not paying commissions is located in MN). He was able to boild down a stack of paperwork to the most important details in a very short period of time.
Craig was honest, clear, puctual and truly had my best interests in mind during our meetings.
The entire staff, especially Kelly Fiege, were very helpful and supportive.
I recommend Craig for any contract or commision related dispute that a person may have.

I consider calling Craig Trepanier to represent me to be one of the best decisions I have made. Craig Trepanier and Mike McCain completely immersed themselves in the intricacies of my case and worked tirelessly to achieve a favorable outcome. They were sensitive to the fact that I had limited resources available with which to defend myself, and always gave candid, sound advice about how best to use those resources. In the course of my legal case I quickly learned that there is a huge range in the quality of representation provided by different employment law firms. I absolutely recommend Trepanier & MacGillis to anyone involved in an employment law dispute.

Joe Maternowski was referred to me to represent our company in an Administrative Penalty Order. I quickly learned how familiar Joe was with the APO process and how he would best represent us.

We had the task of selling a facility with an existing air permit in Minnesota that we had constructed and intermittently run for one year. The buyer had one of the nation's largest in-house environmental teams and dedicated their team as well as prominent environmental lawyers to this asset purchase. We hired Joe to be our leader on all environmental issues because of his reputation and history of working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. During the three month due diligence process, the issues expanded from the air permit to EPA issues and Joe led all of our negotiations with the buyer's team. We had a successful transaction outcome due, in large part, to Joe's knowledge and communications and negotiating skills.

We could not have done it without the aid of his sound legal advice. I cannot imagine a kinder, more able attorney. He bridged the gap between Minneapolis and Kansas with no communication issues.

My automobile was ruined due to a manufacturer's engine defect. I was connected with Chris through the legal service at my company. I spoke with Chris on several occasions to explain the specifics of my case and to find out what my options were for getting compensation from the manufacturer. In each conversation Chris was polite, well informed and explained very clearly to me what was needed from me to proceed with a legal action. Chris also made clear what outcomes I could expect if I pursued any action. As issues and milestones came up Chris always kept me informed. When I had questions Chris would respond in a timely and informative manner. When decisions needed to be made, Chris provided clear and concise options and likely outcomes, and made it plain that it was up to me as to how to proceed. However the case would have been resolved I would have felt that I was represented by an excellent advocate who was on my side. Chris was an honest, forthright partner who was an excellent communicator.
Happily, the outcome was much better than I had hoped for and I know full well that I would not have received the same settlement, if any, without Chris' outstanding work.
I would recommend Chris to anyone who needs legal assistance and if I need help in the future I will surely call on Chris.

I am the general Partner of the purity Bakery Building Limited Partnership. Mr. Brendan Tupa, Attorney, was retained to assist in bringing an insurance claim to a settlement. An adjuster had failed to perform on this matter. Mr. Tupa brought legal action against the insurance company resulting in a substantial settlement. He further assisted me dealing with the non-performing insurance adjuster by modifying the fee agreement.
I subsequently retained Mr. Tupa to bring a suit against a railroad over a property issue. Two prior attorneys had begged off on pursuing litigation as a solution to this problem. I can state that within twenty four hours of Mr. Tupa’s service of a law suit, the matter was satisfactorily settled.
Subsequently Mr. Tupa’s office wrote a letter to Xcel Energy a dispute over a utility line location. Within days of this letter the problem was satisfactorily resolved.

Geordie is amazing! He stepped in during one of the hardest times in my life. My mother passed away unexpectedly without a will and due to our circumstances the court decided we needed to go through formal, supervised probate. I was lost but the moment I met Geordie I knew I had a compassionate, knowledgeable and reliable partner to lead me through the craziness. It took over 9 months to go through the probate process and Geordie was there every step of the way. He even found precedents and rules other lawyers knew nothing about to ensure my family had the best possible outcome to a stressful and emotional situation. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

George is professional but also warm, kind and has a sense of humor that makes serious things easy to do! Gathering the information he needed was the hardest part of the process and even that was pretty easy. He worked quickly and efficiently and was able to meet all our needs. Having this done gives us peace of mind and having it done so well is invaluable. I can recommend both George and his work highly!!

Jillian K. Duffy is reliable, trustworthy and will get great results for you. She set me at ease from the first moment we discussed my case. I never once felt inconvenienced and was able to move along with my life as the case progressed. We worked together through mediation and then again in court, with great success!
I’m going to be completely honest here, Duffy is often one of, if not THE smartest person in every room she enters. Having her as your lawyer will ensure that your case is handled with the upmost of care and consideration, alongside a razor-sharp intellect. I doubt she loses often; she even educated our judge (politely, of course) on a few cases to back our stance up; cases that he later used in his findings.
If I ever find myself in need of a lawyer again, my decision will be simple, Jill Duffy, we are 1-0 so far! Thank you again for everything you did for me!

Jillian is a fantastic lawyer. A co-worker referred her to me and I could not be happier with the service I received. I retained Jillian to help me navigate my divorce in 2017. She is proactive, smart, responsive, honest, straight-forward and aggressively looked out for my best interests. Jillian was able to convince my ex-husband (and his lawyer) to agree to a settlement that worked for both of us and avoid a long, drawn out court battle. I have already referred Jillian to other friends that need a great attorney and I will continue to recommend her.
