I reached out to Kelly regarding my wrongful conviction for domestic violence which was preventing me from owning/possessing a fire. If it wasn’t for my love of hunting specifically with my dad I probably would’ve gone on with my life but instead I explained my situation to Kelly, she sounded positive about restoring my rights. Took a few months but the wait paid off. I now have my conceal carry and the joy of being able to purchase weapons. More importantly I get to hunt with my dad without looking over my shoulder. Would recommend Kelly if you are in a similar situation situation hands down!!!

My experience with Kelly, who assisted me in restoring my right to possess firearms, was truly amazing. From the beginning, Kelly's professionalism & commitment to my case were evident. What stood out the most was her in-depth knowledge of firearm-related laws and regulations, which played a pivotal role in achieving a favorable outcome.
Throughout the process, Kelly demonstrated a keen understanding of the intricacies involved, ensuring that every legal avenue was explored to its fullest extent. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation set her apart, instilling confidence in me during what could have been a daunting ordeal.
However what set Kelly apart, was her willingness to go above and beyond expectations. She showed a genuine concern for my situation. She invested the time & effort needed to address any concerns or questions I had. This level of personal commitment made a significant impact on my overall experience.
In addition to her legal acumen, Kelly maintained clear and transparent communication, keeping me informed at every step of the process. This proactive approach not only fostered trust but also allowed me to actively participate and understand the progress of my case.
Ultimately, the successful restoration of my right to possess firearms can be attributed to Kelly's unwavering dedication & exemplary legal skills. I am immensely grateful for her outstanding service and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of assistance with a proven track record of achieving exceptional results.

Christa is amazing and she coordinated me to work with Jessica Rugani a former prosecutor that works for the firm now. Jessica was detailed, precise, knowledgeable, and worked very well with the prosecutor in my case. I am thoroughly pleased with the outcome. Jessica did a great job communicating with me and helping me understand my case and helping me process the information.
I had a previous lawyer who really screwed up and I was not happy and Jessica and Christa took over my case and so I was very worried that I’d have a bad experience but everything they said they were going to do, they did. The outcome they said we were going to get, we got.
I’m very happy with results and I can’t Thank you enough!

After many years in the family court system, I finally found an attorney that would best represent the needs and wishes of my children. The whole staff at Groshek law showed genuine interest in getting to know our case. Mrs. Groshek treated me and our children as individuals and I felt very included in all the decisions regarding our case. The whole team at Groshek Law were very responsive and always available for questions. There was no "guessing" when it came to fees or retainers. I know we would not be in the place we are now, if it wasn't for Christa's keen legal experience. I would and have recommended Groshek Law to family and friends and all the single mothers and fathers that need assistance navigating through the difficult legal process of the family court system.

Marian is very knowledgeable and helped me keep the frustration and worry of the situation at bay. Just knowing she was In our corner and had all our best interests in mind made a difficult situation more tolerable. She is cognizant of all issues, including our financial wellbeing and does a great job explaining all the options for better or worse.

I used Marian several years ago when going through my divorce. She was very knowledgeable and knew how to approach dealing with a narcissist which was a huge comfort for me while going through this difficult situation. Now that I have to go back and deal with issues again, I searched her out in her new firm and it settled my nerves immediately. I have recommended her to friends as well.

Carolyn represented me a right before she took a job with the Federal Public Defenders Office. I was referred to her by the Child sex abuse and defense resource center in Cleveland. After she excepted the public defender job she turned me over to an associate she had worked with who also did a fantastic job. I had been falsly accused by my than 23 year old daughter. Four counts of criminal sexual mis-conduct in the first degree. After three years and turning down a plea for no jail time, I took it to a jury trial. It took a jury about an hour to find me not guilty on all 4 counts. I had two great lawyers. Carolyn in the beginning and her associate Nancy who took it over. I owe them both so much and can never thank them enough. I would give them both a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.

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

I was accused of harassment. I was scared and did not know what to do. I was fortunate to find Peter Johnson. He responded to my call for help immediately. He listened, calmed me and developed a defense strategy. He instructed me about gathering the appropriate evidence to support my case. Using this data he then negotiated with opposing counsel and had this case dismissed. I expressed worries that this person could manufacture future complaints against me. Peter advised me about dealing with unwanted contact (and will offer additional assistance) and steps I can take to keep safe. I am very grateful to Mr. Johnson and highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Johnson Erickson Criminal Defense to anyone seeking legal assistance in the Midwest area.

Melissa Heinlein and her team of skilled and highly capable staff are our heros. Our daughter was severely injured by an uninsured driver while navigating a crosswalk. Our daughter survived and Lord + Heinlein provided her with legal protection and tremendous emotional support during the following months of medical treatment. Melissa’s guidance and hard work enabled our daughter and our family to focus on healing while her brilliant staff managed the complicated and overwhelming medical billing and all the legal filings. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcomes and with the thoughtful, intelligent care they provided. I highly recommend seeking out Lord + Heinlein to represent you and your loved ones.

Kate walked me through how to prepare to get my gun rights restored and also helped make sure that some claims made during the process were accurate like when they said I was still having to register when I had not registered the past 5 years. She also reviewed my friends and family's papers and made the process easy. I'm very grateful for the help and happy with the outcome.

Attorney Jeffrey Dean won my case. Without Jeffrey my family would have been devastated. In the beginning my case looked unwinnable. However, Jeffrey Dean won through his hard work and unwavering commitment to get us through this. He utilized an expert witness to help prove our case and he filed legal briefs. In the end he persuaded the Judge to rule in our favor. In my opinion Jeffrey Dean is the best attorney in Minnesota. Thank you Jeffrey. You changed our lives!

We had a great experience working with Satveer Chaudhary on my spouse's visa change of status process from J2 to F1. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to answer all our questions thoroughly and helping us fill out the forms in the best way possible. We could always contact him directly and receive almost immediate responses from him (not an assistant), even after hours and on some weekends! I’m not sure if other lawyers would provide that level of service, especially with no extra charges. We also appreciated how thorough he was, staying in touch not only when the approval letter arrived but also during our trip to India for stamping. We truly appreciate his time and support throughout the process and highly recommend his services.

Being is a situation of being wrongfully terminated out of the blue by DHS was devastating and there was a number of us all in the same situation together. We talked with several lawyers and none of them were willing to step up and take the case for us until we met with Media Law. Ashwin got his team started right away and was ready to take on the state. Now lets talk about Tara Jensen. The amount of time and effort this amazing woman put into our case was astronomical! She had 10's of thousands pages of documents thrown at her and painstakingly went through each document to find every line to help our case. She was direct and to the point during depositions and never wavered when opposing council was taking bulling to the next level, yet remaining kind, personable and reassuring to me the entire time. This was a 5 year process and we could not have asked for a better team of people to get us through it and did not even imagine a more favorable outcome against a powerful employer. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this please stop your search for an attorney here and call Media Law immediately. You will never find a better team of lawyers to fight for you and always make you feel like you and your case matter.

I am thankful to have been represented by Madia Law throughout a long battle against a large, powerful public entity. Myself and 3 co-plaintiffs had a complex employment case with multiple claims including wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and a whistleblower claim. My interactions with all Madia Law team members were phenomenal. Tara worked tirelessly through thousands of pieces of evidence to help build a strong case. Tara and Ashwin were always available to answer questions, provide reassurance and give honest, realistic advice - always with the best interests of myself and fellow co-plaintiffs in mind. Tara & Ashwin were personable, yet fierce fighters, advocates and negotiators. In the end, we were able to gain a large settlement without needing a jury trial, but the team was well prepared to dominate in court if needed. I highly recommend the Madia Law team. Thank you Tara, Ashwin, and team! You are stand-up people & should be proud of your efforts to fight for what is right.

Awful. No communication, No listening, they talk a big game to get you on board and that’s when it falls apart. By and large, they don’t care what the case is. They just want your money.
Mary R was what nightmares are made of when it comes to attorneys. She had zero understanding, refused to communicate, charged me for doing nothing, and I’m unfortunately left with no other option to report not only to my Att Gen but also the Office of Prof Resp.
Bill padding for doing nothing and horrible treatment with zero communication- I will not let this go, I will see this through. Not acceptable at all.
The unprofessional actions of one attorney could end up being a messy situation for the entire firm.
So unprofessional, absolutely the worst experience of my life
They will claim not to know me, but they do

Last week 9/5/24 our 16 years dream came true. Finally, we received our green cards. David Wilson worked on our case for the last 5 years.
It is very rare to find someone with passion and dedication towards his clients like David. He treats every client like a close family member. Two things will distingue him forever way above any other lawyer we have met in our long journey towards our residency dream:
1- He offered us a two-year payment plan for the office legal fees, without my family or me even asking for it, he just offered it due to his deep commitment to helping his clients.
2- On the day of the green card interview, he came to the USCIS office half an hour early before our time, he just waited with us addressing our worries and anxiety, he spent almost two hours with us until the interview is over, he did it all with no extra penny charges, just out of his deeply passionate and support to his clients.
With his help, support, and deep understanding we became USA residents.

Dan has represented me for 2 DUI cases. I couldn't thank him enough for helping me through everything. He was great at communicating to me exactly what was going on and what we were looking at in terms of consequences. He saved me from doing any jail time and got me off with just an ankle monitor. Honestly, I could not be any happier with my results and wouldn't have been able to do any of this without him. I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

I hired Steven Coon because I have been in a deportation situation since I was accused to brakes the OFP of the mother of my children.
After four years of fight in court, Steven has been able to prove that I wasn’t an abusive person and that the mother of my kids didn’t need an OFP.
Steven had always give me right recommendations and take the time for my case.
He has been able to direct me to the right person that I need like anger manager and immigration attorney.
I definitely recommend Steven Coon if you need any help and good advice from a criminal attorney.
Good job and thank you Steven

Mr Coon was good enough for my situation. He counseled , predicted, and then executed. My case was pretty much straight forward. He gave me worst case scenarios, and what it would look like if everything just worked in my favor. Which ended up working all in my favor.
The only thing that I can say that I didn’t like was the communication. I have yet to meet this bright lawyer in person, but he did what he said he was going to do and I appreciate him

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.
If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:
- Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
- Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
- Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
- School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
- Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
- Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
- Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.
Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.
