Mr. Nickell represented me from just after booking all the way through sentencing and got the best possible results for me. I was in a difficult situation and he was able to get an outcome far better than I thought was possible. Mr. Nickell is very good at what he does. He was on top of my case, prepared for every proceeding and communicated every step of the way. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again and would recommend him with confidence to friends or family.

I have worked with Mr. Keyser for the last two years, and he continues to impress me with his dedication and work ethic. He is a highly-skilled attorney who has experience with many different types of serious criminal charges. Chris is articulate and knows exactly how to maneuver through the system to receive the best outcome for his clients. You will not be disappointed with his representation.

Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole legal process. He is easily accessible, easy to talk to, understanding, and skilled. I was very happy with my results, I would recommend Chris to anyone in the Twin Cities in need of legal representation.

Chris did a great job defending me of false accusations. With his help we were able to get the case dismissed I would recommend him to anyone who has been wrongfully accused.

I was originally referred by a friend and then worked with Kristine for my own divorce. She was remarkably personable and easy to work with. She even gave my ex-husband and I a discount because we had already decided what assets went to whom and were amicable. That was in 2004 but since then I recommend her to everyone I know that needs family law and would not hesitate to go to her again in a heartbeat again.

I was lucky enough to find Elliott a few years ago when I found myself with legal issues. My first consultation with Elliott was more than I expected. He explained my options and immediatly came up with a plan of action. Elliott was compationate and gave me the hope that all is not lost. As we battled through the court system, Elliott always had my back. He stood up for me and my families situation and in the end did the what seemed impossible. My family and I will always be grateful for all the work Elliott did for us all the while keeping my stress level in check over a stressful situation. My case is over and I have a new outlook on life all thanks to Elliotts hard work and dedication. He always made me feel like I was his one and only client. Always answers his phone and replies to my emails. I highly recommend Elliott. He is a bright light when a dark situation arises.

I highly recommend the Schaefer Halleen law firm. Larry Schaefer was always available to answer any questions and his team was very professional. They work hard to get results and take the time to listen to the client’s goals.

I found the team to be professional, respectful and very well versed in employment law. I would recommend them to anyone looking for advice or expertise in this area.

I am a physician who recently hired Schaefer and Halleen to represent me in an employment discrimination case, my Atty was Jean Boler ESQ. They provided top-tier legal services to me for my case 2017 through my settlement in 1st qtr of 2018. This was excellent legal representation, specifically - very responsive, very prompt, extremely detailed and never off-putting. Absolutely would recommend without reservation!

Whereas I'm confident that Larry is indeed a friend of those who have so praised him here, in so far as they are mostly (if not entirely) corporate-side clients, he is by no means a friend of the victim. He did little to no actual work for me other than to engage in some egocentric dance with the opposing counsel, whose approval and even admiration he seems to have endlessly sought over a number of years, and to parade a gigantic binder of paper in front of the other side and the mediator during discussions. I still have no idea what was in it, given that he could not seem to locate one single piece of relevant documentation within it and seemed far from familiar with any details of the relevant items, dates, or facts which had been provided to him. He twice during mediation snapped at me - his client, the victim - in a condescending and derisory manner and had to be stopped from semi-berating me at one point by his colleague, Jean Boler. So far up his own considerable backside is he that he actually thought I felt I had won that day; that I actually was pleased with his (entire lack of) performance. Jean knew better and sensed that he needed to walk quickly away. I didn't settle for that day's result because it was okay with me; I settled because I knew I could not leave my destiny in his hands and needed to take care of myself, as I always have. As a person, I like Jean a great deal more, but she likewise was not familiar with the case file and even seemed surprised when I said that everything had been provided for them chronologically AS THEY HAD REQUESTED, yet she had never accessed or looked at the file. I could go on and on and on, but hopefully anyone who has been a victim and who needs sincere, engaged, and meaningful help will get the point: this is not the firm for you. This is the McDonald's drive thru - the veritable ambulance chaser equivalent - of employee/victim legal representation. You can do better, so please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Kristine is a wonderful person. She took my case and worked on it swiftly. She always communicated every step in a timely manner. The outcome of my divorce came so fast(less than 2 months) despite it being on the complicated end. Thank you so much!!!
