Dear Margaret and Theo,
After our daughter was killed, we spoke with five firms. Halloran & Reid was the only one that didn't promise an outcome on the first call. Eighteen months later the case resolved on terms we could live with.
With thanks,G. & L. AndersenWrongful death, 2023 Dear Theo,
Theo had the truck's logbook data before I was out of the hospital. The insurer's first offer was about a third of where we ended up.
With thanks,D. PhamTrucking collision, 2024 Dear Margaret,
Margaret called me back the same afternoon, on a Friday. After that I heard from the office every two weeks, even when the news was that nothing had changed yet.

- An update every two weeks
- The fee comes only from a recovery
John Frederick Kensett, Sunset, 1872. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Filed or tried
40%
of the gross recovery, once suit is filed
Litigation takes more of the firm's time and money. The higher rate is written into the agreement from the start.
- Everything in a pre-suit case
- Experts retained and paid by the firm
- Depositions and discovery
- Trial and post-trial motions
- Not included: Appeals, agreed separately
Case costs such as filing fees, records, and expert witnesses are advanced by the firm and repaid from the recovery. Percentages are calculated on the gross recovery before costs are deducted. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing, including costs.
What does a consultation cost?
Nothing. Every consultation is free and confidential, and most take about thirty minutes. We can meet at our office on Nicollet Mall, at your home or hospital bedside, or by phone.
How do your fees work?
We work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we recover for you. The fee is a third of the recovery if the case resolves before a lawsuit is filed and 40 percent after. The percentage is written into the agreement before any work begins, and the firm advances every case cost.
Minnesota is a no-fault state. Can I still bring a claim?
Often, yes. Your own no-fault coverage pays medical bills and lost wages first. You can bring a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering once your medical expenses pass $4,000, or if the crash caused a permanent injury, permanent disfigurement, 60 days or more of disability, or a death.
How long do I have to file?
Six years for most negligence claims in Minnesota, and three years from the date of death for a wrongful-death claim. Claims involving a city, county, or the state need written notice within 180 days. Call early either way, because evidence disappears long before the deadline does.
What if I was partly at fault?
Minnesota uses modified comparative fault. You can recover as long as your share of the fault is no greater than the other side's, and your recovery is reduced by your percentage.
The insurance adjuster already called. Should I talk to them?
Be polite and brief. Don't give a recorded statement or sign a medical authorization until you've spoken with a lawyer. Adjusters are paid to close claims at the lowest number that works, and a short call with us first costs nothing.
Do you take cases outside the Twin Cities?
Yes. We take cases across Minnesota and in federal court, and we'll travel to you. We have tried cases in Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Dakota, and Olmsted Counties.
If you were hurt,the first call is on us.
Free and confidential. A partner calls back the same business day, and if another firm fits your case better, we’ll tell you which one.
