Minneapolis Litigation Lawyers

Litigation

Minneapolis litigation lawyers achieve outstanding results through experience in Minnesota litigation, stellar legal skills, intense attention to detailed preparation, and their ability to tell their client’s story in a way that touches both the hearts and minds of the judge and jury.

Our Minneapolis litigation attorneys are distinguished by their preeminent legal reputations and the successful results they have achieved for their many clients in diverse and complex cases. They regularly represent parties in Minnesota state and federal courts.

Preeminent National Credentials & Experience

Our attorneys are set apart by their exceptional experience and credentials. They have been featured in the news and media thousands of times, published in legal publications, and honored with awards and recognition for their services. They have served with federal and Minnesota Supreme Court judges, represented Fortune 500 and Inc 500 companies, and spent years refining the art of their litigation practice.

Our litigation attorneys have represented leading Minneapolis, Minnesota, national, and international corporations, insurers, financial institutions, and non-profit organizations. They previously worked at large law firms and corporations, charging ”top tier” legal fees, and providing exceptional legal representation. Today, our attorneys provide the same level of exceptional service, at cost-effective rates, to local companies and individuals.

Minnesota Litigation: Local Businesses, Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Individuals

Our litigation attorneys have a passion for representing entrepreneurs, business owners, general and limited partnerships, closely-held companies, lawyers, accountants, other professionals, and individuals involved in civil and criminal disputes. We represent both Plaintiffs and Defendants.

Our litigation attorneys also enjoy representing the “little guy” against big business. This is evidenced by our lawsuits against some of America’s largest corporations, banks, and insurance companies. Recognized for their outstanding professional talents, our litigation attorneys have represented clients in taking on some of the largest businesses in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the United States.

Currently, about half of our litigation practice is representing business owners in Minnesota, along with their small or mid-sized business. The other half of our litigation practice is divided between representing individuals against large businesses and representing national or international corporations in Minnesota lawsuits.

Cost-Effective Litigation

It is no secret that litigation is usually very expensive. We are not the cheapest attorneys around. Rather, we charge average rates despite our commitment to exceptional professional representation. Our lawyers love what they do, and are committed to providing personal service and reasonable fees. In addition, we work closely with our clients to minimize legal fees, prioritize legal work, and customize a cost-effective strategy for each client’s unique circumstances.

Through hard work, we have built a reputation for excellence that is known in Minneapolis and throughout Minnesota. We are dedicated to maintaining that reputation by standing beside you and striving to get you the results you need.

Minnesota Litigation Claims

Our litigation attorneys excel in the resolution of difficult litigation and complex cases, including business partnership, breach of contract, real estate, breach fiduciary duty, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, fraud, trademark infringement, copyright infringement, trade secret, breach of service agreement, divorce, probate, employment, construction, criminal charges, audits, and government investigations.

Common statutes that are the subject of lawsuits include

  • Minnesota Deceptive Trade Practices Act
  • Minnesota Trade Secrets Act
  • Minnesota False Advertising Act
  • Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act
  • Minnesota False Advertising Act
  • Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)
  • Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
  • Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Although our attorneys enjoy litigation and trials, we work closely with our clients interested in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a cost effective way to settle a case. We regularly resolve cases through ADR, including arbitration, mediation, and settlement negotiation.
