Bird, Stevens & Borgen, P.C. - Rochester, MN

We are Bird, Stevens & Borgen, P.C., in Rochester, Minnesota, a team of trial attorneys serving clients from our offices in Rochester and Bloomington, Minnesota. We understand that life can bring sudden challenges – injuries, criminal charges, workplace disputes or agricultural losses – and that choosing the right response matters. When clients come to us, they get a local firm with more than 30 years of courtroom and litigation experience, a commitment to integrity and a willingness to take cases to trial when necessary.

Our practice covers personal injury, workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, criminal defense and DWI/DUI, agricultural claims, including stray voltage and defective farm products, commercial litigation, and alternative dispute resolution. We approach each matter by reviewing every detail and pursuing all available avenues for recovery – whether that means seeking SSDI or workers’ compensation benefits alongside a personal injury claim, negotiating a favorable settlement, or preparing for trial.

Our record reflects the results we pursue for clients: an $8,700,000 jury verdict in stray-voltage litigation (Norman v. Crow Wing Coop); a $7,000,000 jury verdict for injuries caused by a defective farm product; a $3,500,000 settlement in stray-voltage litigation; a $1,400,000 settlement for a passenger injured in a bus accident; and a $600,000 settlement in a wrongful-death trucking matter. Those outcomes are the product of careful preparation, tenacious advocacy and an attention to the human side of legal disputes.

We also bring significant experience against large corporate defendants, including cases against industry names such as Black & Decker and Monsanto. Our attorneys have handled matters at the administrative, trial and appellate levels in both state and federal courts. We are licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and we coordinate with local counsel in other states as needed.

Our firm’s reputation is built on client referrals and the long-standing trust of the communities we serve in southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Charles A. Bird, Jeremy R. Stevens and Grant Borgen have received peer recognition over many years, and we work hard to earn the confidence clients place in us. If you need an advocate who will work persistently to resolve your legal challenge, we welcome a conversation about how we can help.
