Excellent attorney

Scott was my attorney for a divorce that got very messy. Among other things, my ex-wife attempted to relocate my daughter to another city, had me served with a frivolous restraining order, and tried to have our parenting consultant removed after our divorce. Throughout all of this, Scott provided ...excellent representation and guidance. Early in the case, he laid out a roadmap for how I would be able to maintain involvement in my daughter’s life and protect her interests. He showed me how I would be at serious risk of losing parenting time with my daughter if I did not make the right choices. As the divorce progressed, things went as Scott predicted, and I now have a custody and parenting time arrangement that is great for both my daughter and me. Scott was never rattled by anything he encountered with my case. He has deep knowledge of Minnesota family law, and he had a strategic approach to every situation we faced. He gave me wise advice and encouraged me to take the high road. He was highly professional and ethical, and he helped me minimize my legal costs. I can tell that he cares about helping his clients, not just getting the job done. Another thing I appreciated was that Scott tries to avoid litigation whenever possible. He prefers to settle things through mediation or direction negotiation, and he avoids pointless conflict. However, when my ex-wife took aggressive actions against me, Scott gave strong responses and forced her to back down. He tries to keep things amicable, but he is not afraid to take a strong stance when necessary. We had only a single court hearing, when my ex-wife attempted to have our parenting consultant removed after the divorce. Scott gave compelling oral arguments and helped the judge see our perspective, even though she initially was inclined to grant my ex-wife’s request. She ruled in our favor after the hearing, and there is no doubt that Scott’s courtroom arguments were key to that outcome. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Scott in my divorce. I could not have asked for a better outcome, and Scott’s representation and advice are what made it possible. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

Professional, Personalable, Reliable

I knew exactly what I wanted out of my divorce and needed help understanding the best approach to complete the proceedings in a way that allowed both parties to be fair. Mr. Rodman understood my goals and helped me achieve them. His advice always took into account my goals and my legal rights. He wor...ked "with me", not "for me". At all times, I felt like I was dealing directly with a person who had my best interests at heart and understood the objective. I highly recommend Mr. Rodman. He is a man of integrity and skilled at getting to the heart of the issue, resolving it to a successful conclusion.

Unbelievably Goff Attorney

Scott is simply a fantastic lawyer. He is unfailing honest, and advocated for me in every way. While any lawyer can tell his client what he wants to hear, what distinguishes Scott is when he told me what I did not want to hear. He was completely honest with me in every aspect of my case whether t...hings were going well or not. My case lasted almost three years. There were a lot of ups and downs. There where a lot of things that made uncomfortable, but when those issues were present, Scott and his team surrounded me with help and excellent advice. The result? I could not have asked for anything better. As a man going through the family law system, I can truly say that Scott never misled me, and earned my complete and total trust. I recommend him to anyone who needs a fair, honest and excellent advocate .

Scott Rodman- Divorce Attorney

Mr. Rodman was able to strike the delicate balance between professionalism and compassion for me as a client. From the our first consultation to the reaching a final judgment and decree, Mr. Rodman was consistent in working towards a settle that was in my best interest. I always felt informed and upd...ate to date on developments in my case. My concerns were listened to and respected. He or his staff promptly returned my phone calls or emails and took care to listen to and answer my questions. Mr. Rodman and his staff understood my anxieties and were both kind and professional in reaching a positive settlement in my case. I am happy with the result and have moved on with my life thanks to his diligent work and professionalism.

Very grateful client

I hired Scott as my divorce attorney several years back and while no one wants to have to get to this place, I was so happy to have him in my corner. He was extremely professional, smart, kind, and sensitive to hardship and feelings that go hand in hand with divorce. Scott was also extremely sensi...tive to my now ex-husbands feelings as well. Always making sure that we tried to work together and not against one another. He made sure that we went through all avenues good, bad and ugly. He made sure that we were making the right choices for our children and their best interest. He gave me great, solid advice that sometimes I didn't always want to hear, but knew he was absolutely right. I trusted him 100% and still do to this day. He was grossly important in making sure that we used our PC and walked me through all the decisions that were made by them again, even when I didn't like the answer. Scott and his staff were beyond professional and I am absolutely certainly that he always had my best interest in hand. He was timely and efficient, he listened and always gave good sound advice. He always returned my calls, emails, even when he was very busy. He was dedicated and most importantly, I knew that he cared about my case and my family. Divorce can certainly be a nasty, hard and sensitive subject and he helped me, my kids and my now ex-husband get to a place that we didn't really expect when the process started. I would absolutely recommend Scott and his staff. Not only did I have a great attorney, but I also have a really great friend who helped me through one of the toughest times. I am really very grateful for his professionalism, smarts and kindness.
