Does location matter for your case?

Most employment cases don’t require you to come to our office. First calls happen by phone. Documents are shared securely online. Depositions and mediations often happen virtually. When a case does need in-person work — a trial, a key hearing — we handle the logistics.

What matters isn’t where you live.
It’s what happened at work.

Common questions

Do I need to come to the office to work with you?

No. Most of our work happens by phone, email, and secure online tools. Some cases need in-person meetings for depositions or hearings, but you won’t be asked to come in just to get started or to stay updated.

Can you handle my case if I live in a small town or rural area?

Yes. We represent employees throughout Minnesota and Illinois, wherever you live. Where you’re located doesn’t limit whether we can help — what matters is where you worked and what happened.

Do you represent workers who live in Wisconsin or other neighboring states?

It depends on where you worked and which state’s laws apply. If your job was in Minnesota or Illinois, we can often help even if you live across the border. The best way to find out is to ask.

If I move during my case, can you still represent me?

Yes. If you move after we’ve taken your case, we continue representing you. Your case is tied to where you worked and what happened, not where you currently live.
