I was referred to Ashwin Madia when it became evident that my case was going to jury trial. He is definitely an expert as a trial lawyer. I found him to be very straightforward, no nonsense, a clear communicator, and I was pleased with the outcome he brought at trial. I would recommend him, and I would go to him again to represent me if the need ever arises.

I was told flat out by Attorney Ross S. that I had a case against my previous employer but that Halunen Law was not interested in representing me because they would have to "prove damages." Is it just me or is that the entire job of an attorney? I was also told last week that the team was reviewing my timeline of events but when Ross called me, he admitted to reading it just this morning. Very disappointed in the laziness that this firm has displayed. Would not recommend to anyone looking for hardworking, diligent attorneys.

Aswhin is an incredible trial lawyer. When we realized that a claim against our business was definitely going to a jury trial in federal court we switched counsel to Ashwin and his team. At the 11th hour they got spun up on the facts and the law (intellectual property) and delivered an amazing performance against a huge "downtown" law firm. From the beginning of his opening statement it was clear that we made the right choice. I can't recommend Madia Law highly enough.

I wanted to take the time to write Halunen Law Firm to express my sincere gratitude for defending my rights. This firm delivered a preeminent level of dedication and talent by the attorneys and staff. Their efforts resulted in an exceptional outcome for my case. Halunen law is a world class organization that I highly recommend.

I was referred to Ashwin Madia by a friend, who is also a lawyer. I was in a unique position, as I had recently been successful at the Appellate Court and was less than 2 months away from my scheduled jury trial. My case involved multiple defendants, which meant there was a significant amount of evidence for an incoming attorney to review. Mr. Madia and his partners dove into my case and prepared for trial in three weeks. Madia Law Firm markets itself as a "trial" driven law firm, and it did not disappoint. Mr. Madia overwhelmed opposing counsel, and after 5 days of trial, the jury ruled in my favor. My wife, who has been a trial attorney for over 20 years, described Ashwin Madia's trial work as "amazing," and described his closing argument as one of the best she had ever seen. I highly recommend Mr. Madia and his trial team for anyone in need of legal representation. John Stratton

I have the utmost respect for Ashwin Madia. Ashwin is professional, knowledgeable, sharp, and genuinely humble. Three years of litigating against my employer, I found myself financially and emotionally drained. The law firm that won Summary Judgment for me suggested that I look for a trial attorney that would accept my case on a contingency because they did not. The law firms I called wanted $40K up front, $5K to $10K just to review my case. Being a single mom with two kids, I had no idea where to get that type of money. A couple law firms said my case was too complicated, too many players involved and not enough time to prepare for trial. I was ready to give up. Just five weeks before trial, Ashwin agreed to take on my case. Ashwin did an amazing and spectacular job at trial! We won! I am so thankful there are people like Ashwin in this world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

When I first spoke to Clayton Halunen about representing me for my suit against the Minnesota Vikings, I had no idea what to expect moving forward. Fortunately, Clayton and his team of experienced, professional lawyers (including both Susan Coler, Nathaniel Smith, and several others), made sure to keep me notified of everything in a timely manner, and worked both enthusiastically and tirelessly to ensure an optimal outcome for the case. If I needed to use their services again, I would do so without hesitation, and I would highly recommend Halunen Law to anyone needing representation in employee/workplace discrimination matters. -Chris Kluwe

After being referred to Ashwin Madia I literally wasn't sure what to expect. Many times during this process I felt unsure of myself. I knew I wanted justice but many times in the past I've had to just walk away. This time was different; if you have the opportunity to get Ashwin Madia to represent you, I know you will have the ammunition you need to defeat your opposition to get the justice your seeking. Many told me what to expect; however he gave me the information I needed on a timely basis, reviewed facts and statements, and used his strategies to make his results much different than what was expected from other attorneys. He never gave up nor backed down. True fighter! This is a spectacular attorney with the understanding of the rights and feelings of others, with the willingness to protect and stand up for those that may not have a voice. I thank you so much Mr. Madia.

I would encourage you to spend some time reading Mr. Madia's impressive bio. If that doesn't have you convinced, I will tell you that as someone who spent over 19 years in law enforcement, I have never seen a better trial lawyer than Ashwin. His passion, expertise, ethical commitment, and his incredible memory of the facts, were some of the major reasons I prevailed in my discrimination lawsuit against my employer.. Thanks again!

I have known Ashwin since law school. Throughout the years, he has proven to be smart, dedicated, creative and driven. I regularly refer clients in Minnesota to Ashwin and will continue to do so. He is a fantastic lawyer.

Joshua Newville is a brilliant and tenacious attorney. When I met with him, I was close to giving up hope that I would find a solution with my employer, which is a large company with a General Counsel. Josh said he'd take on my case. He then got my employer to agree to mediation, an avenue it had previously refused while it engaged in delaying tactics for years. The fact that Josh brought them to the table was a feat in and of itself. Josh, along with lawyers from Gender Justice, fought to obtain an equitable settlement and to ensure that the issues of wrong-doing were addressed through policy changes within the company. I am incredibly grateful to have had Josh advocate for me. He is skilled, determined, and motivated to get justice for his clients.

Joshua Newville is a bright star to watch. During the handling of our case, he was thorough and highly competent. We were extremely satisfied with the outcome of Josh’s hard work on our behalf. Josh was excellent in communicating information and always promptly responded to correspondence we initiated. Josh had an exceptional grasp of the complexities involved in our case and was current on evolving national rulings/events and resulting implications for our situation. I highly recommend Madia Law.
