I had gotten my first DWI and didn't know what to do. Tom was knowledgeable and got me the best possible outcome.

I was booked for a second DWI this year. Other lawyers in Mankato told me I could be in for a good time, but attorney Tom from Kohlmeyer Hagen Law really pulled me out of a tough spot. As he represented me I noticed him to be a compassionate, responsible and needless to say highly intelligent person overall. Highly recommend him!

I’d never needed an attorney before but when I did, I knew I wanted top notch representation. Mr. Hagen and his team took me under their wing from the moment I retained and guided me through the process. I could not be happier with the outcome of my case. Highly recommend! Thanks Tom!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
