November 23rd, 3 years ago, I was involved in an accidental shooting. I had attended a house party…read moreat which I had planned to spend the night. I was shot in the left buttock while I was sleeping! Talk about a rude awakening??!!! The bullet hit 3 organs, my rectum, vagina and bladder. I required 2 major surgeries, a catheter for first 3 weeks and a colostomy bag, I named Lola, for 8 months. It was over a year worth of physical recovery with some residual bladder issues and ongoing emotional recovery from the trauma of a life changing experience. At the time this happened, I met with a couple of lawyers and was feeling extremely bummed out about the whole situation and truthfully, I had very little faith in attorneys and that they actually gave a damn about me as a person and what I was going through. Just as I was feeling I was done talking with attorneys, Pam Rochlin stopped by my house and everything changed. She was extremely kind to me and I could feel genuine empathy from her. I took Rochlin Law on for my case! Right before I was getting prepared to schedule my second surgery for colostomy take down, summer of 2020, Pam called me with extremely disappointing news. I'll never forget her voice while being told the claim had been denied by the home owner's insurance company. Pam assured me she'd do everything to find a way to fight the denial. I wasn't going to hold my breath and continued to remain positive, focusing on my upcoming surgery and recovery! I'm someone of immense faith, I had accepted my situation as part of my journey and I assumed Pam would give up on my case eventually, but I was so very wrong! She took the next couple of years to TRULY fight for me, meeting with a panel of attorneys, going above and beyond and finding any way to get me the payout that was deserved. Pam handed in the claim again earlier this year and this past summer 2022, the insurance company settled the claim, knowing they'd have Pam to face in court and she was not backing down without a fight!!! Even though Pam won for me by getting the Insurance Company to settle, she was apologetic she couldn't get me the full amount, but to me, who had accepted I might not get anything, she changed my whole world! The settlement allowed me re-start my life and Pam wholeheartedly fighting for me, restored my faith in attorneys and humanity in general. Pam was extremely kind to me and she genuinely FOUGHT for me to get what I deserved out of this unfortunate accident! I will be forever grateful to her and Rochlin Law for representing me with my case! I HIGHLY recommend working with Rochlin Law Firm, you will be made to feel like a human and you will have attorneys who actual fight for you! I named this chapter, "When I took it in the ass!" And if I have any advice for people in life, it's to "never take shit for granted, literally and metaphorically!" #WorldPeace

Denise is an absolutely fantastic attorney to help with injury cases. I had a very complex case and…read moreit simply would not have been closed without Denise, despite there being 4 other parties with lawyers involved. I was part of a group of 12 people on a peddle pub hit by a drunk driver. 3 of the people injured, including myself, filed claims with the driver's insurance. Additionally, workers comp and our respective health insurance were involved, as they were also entitled to the driver's insurance funds. Denise was on the case for 2 years, working with all the parties to coordinate payments I was entitled to. Without Denise, this case simply would still be lingering. I particularly like Denise because of her high level of integrity. We were both aligned that we were not looking for a pay day, but rather just working through the complex process and negotiations to get the case closed with a fair portion of the insurance claim. Denise is very transparent about how the process works and always made sure I understood what was happening. I also very much appreciated Denise's persistence for over two years to close out the case. When all the other party lawyers were happy to sit and wait, Denise kept things moving and ultimately coordinated the mediation that closed the case for all parties involved. Lastly, Denise is very knowledgeable of MN laws governing injury cases and skilled at utilizing them to make her client's case. She utilized her experience to quickly address roadblocks that seemed to stop the other parties from progressing. I highly recommend Denise for anyone in need of representation for a motor accident.

Unfortunately my wife's condition seriously declined, and 3 days after the accident she couldn't remember a thing. Her brain had continued to swell and what was a bad headache and fogginess went on to become a loss of memory, coordination, speech, vision, etc. It was scary, and I was overwhelmed. Without my wife able to do much of anything, I quickly became a "single dad", taking care of our 2 young kids. I knew I had to bring a lawyer into the mix to help us navigate a situation we had never been in, but I wanted to make sure we weren't just another case to line a pocketbook with. From the moment I met with Doug Schmidt and his team, I knew we were in good hands. What sold me from the get-go was the clear fact that Mr. Schmidt knows A TON about concussions and traumatic brain injuries like what we were dealing with. Honestly, the way he explained how and why my wife was suffering was more informative than the doctors we had been visiting. It was clear that he was an expert on not just the legal side of injury claims, but also on the medical side. Doug and his team took the weight off our shoulders, by working with ours and the claimant's insurance companies.They also helped by recommending medical experts in our area to help with rehab therapies-- lawyers aren't paid for this kind of thing. While we wouldn't ever ask for an accident like this to happen, Schmidt Law made the best of it by working hard for us, but showing that they care with check-in phone calls, etc. In less than a year, Doug and his team won us a settlement for the maximum of the claimant's liability coverage. Just a couple weeks later, they secured us the maximum settlement amount from our policy's UIM coverage. If you're looking for a personal injury attorney-- I'd highly recommend going to meet with Doug and everyone at Schmidt Law Firm.

Eventually I had no choice but to return to work because I needed income.

Read before they find out how to delete this actual/real review. I AM a former client, regardless…read moreof their response. Schwebel Goetz & Sieben (SGS) Be prepared: this process is about money, not justice or principle. Over two years ago, tragedy struck our family. Our 20-year-old son died, and our wrongful death claim involved the bar he visited that night. In our first meeting with our SGS attorney, we stressed that our priority wasn't money--it was justice. He said he understood, would file charges, and would be willing to go to court (bait and switch-read on). Their investigator gathered evidence supporting our claim. Then months of near silence passed. Eventually, our attorney said he would file charges (he never did). First red flag: he addressed me by my deceased son's name, twice. Over the following months, I personally uncovered two more critical pieces of evidence. That I had to do this myself was a major red flag--this was their job. With this new evidence, our attorney requested early mediation--without our approval and before filing charges. Reluctantly, we agreed. Before the mediation, he oddly showed doubt about our claim, then shook my hand and said, "You've done more than my investigators." Mediation failed. The mediator, hand-picked by SGS, was arrogant, dismissive. Our attorney repeated: Next step was to file charges. Again, it didn't happen. Later, the insurance company made another offer based on the mediator's suggestion. We rejected it--too low and we still wanted charges filed. But our attorney insisted we accept, otherwise find a different attorney. He gave no specifics as to why, just vague comments about the evidence, which I suspect he never fully reviewed. Integrity was simply absent, a total 180. We never requested early mediation. We were pushed into accepting a settlement we didn't believe in. Thrice, promised that charges would be filed--they never were. Meanwhile, the bar avoided court, responsibility, and bad publicity. For these reasons, they won, not us. The opposing side had better legal representation than we did. For us, this wasn't about money--it was about preventing this from happening to someone else. But without filing charges, there's no accountability. Maybe we were naïve, but we believed an attorney would fight for our principles. We were wrong. SGS focuses on volume over quality. Profit is #1. An SGS lawyer's success is measured by how efficiently they settle, not by how fiercely they fight for justice. Our attorney knew the opposing counsel, had worked with him before, and likely will again. He described him as a "reasonable guy, a real pro"--translation: a guy who'd settle quickly. There weren't just two sides--there were six: the bar, its insurance company, their attorney, the mediator, our attorney, and us. The closest bond in this party? The two attorneys. This was a business negotiation, not representation. When our lawyer said he'll "do everything he can," what he really meant was "everything he's willing to do"--Make a claim, then settle. We thought the circumstances justified more, but our claim was treated like any typical car accident. Through this process, I asked our attorney many questions, requested clarity, and posed potential scenarios. Early on, he responded vaguely. Later, arrogantly deflected and laughed-off concerns. Over 90% of claims never reach court. The system encourages mediation, and settlements can't set legal precedent. So, nothing changes, and that's the way they want it-profitable. The reality? SGS is only about profit, manipulating facts and people--not seeking justice. In our case, it meant manipulating a grieving family. (They manipulate google reviews too). SGS Attorneys say they'll "fight for you," but the key word is "for"--and it's by their definition. Once you hire an SGS lawyer, you give up control. Your goals become secondary to their financial incentives. Who holds them accountable? No one. Practicing law at SGS means knowing how to avoid it. SGS can't afford compassion, but spend millions on advertising. Justice wasn't served and our son deserved better. B.S. needs to retire.

One time I interrupted him and he gets angry....man, what a dick. You could be a little nicer. To tell you the truth, after that call I felt like he was treating me this way because either Jim or his law firm represents St Lukes. The man has no people skills and tried to talk to me like I was a child or better yet his courtroom as a defendant. Jim Carey has no people skills and take a class on how to talk and deal with the public.

If your looking for someone who understands your case, understands your feelings, a person with compassion and just plain human decency and respect for their fellow man, then avoid Jim Carey and his law firm.
