also known as Jerry Sisk, Work Injury Attorney, Jerry W. Sisk
Virtual Consultation Available
Jerry Sisk has been handling and trying workers' compensation cases since 2003. While workers' compensation insurers attempt to delay or avoid paying owed benefits to injured workers, Jerry has devoted his career to making sure his clients receive the compensation they deserve.
Earlier in his career, Jerry represented insurance companies so he knows first-hand how these companies defend against lawsuits by manipulating the legal system in their favor. He knows what it takes to prove entitlement to benefits. Because insurance companies have infinite dollars to fight your case they can hire expensive defense lawyers and investigators to assist in the denial of your benefits. Moreover, they can send you to their doctors to obtain medical reports which potentially can be used against you during your case. Jerry understands this and works diligently to make sure that all the necessary steps are taken to win at trial.
Jerry grew up in Minnesota and spent all but his college years living in the Twin Cities. When he was not participating in sports at Wayzata High School, he would be busy “flipping burgers” at his family restaurant. In college, Jerry clerked for former Representative Jim Ramstad in Washington, D.C. Jerry is a graduate of the prestigious James Madison College at Michigan State University and the University of Minnesota Law School.
Jerry is a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association, Minnesota Association of Justice, and Anoka County Bar Association. He is also currently the Treasurer for the Anoka County Bar Association. He is a contributor to the Minnesota Association of Justice Trial magazine, where he is published. He is frequent presenter throughout the State of Minnesota on various workers' compensation topics.
Jerry, his wife, and three kids reside in Blaine, Minnesota. When he is not chasing his kids around the house and coaching their activities, he enjoys snowboarding, woodworking, bicycling, and doing anything outdoors.
Jerry prides himself on representing members of the Minnesota workforce who have been injured on the job and need ethical, responsive, and zealous representation. No commericals, no highway billboards - just great lawyering. Call today for a free consultation.

my confidence in Mr Sisk
In all respects, Mr Sisk was great to work with. He was a good listener, told me strait out what the law thought of my issues. The best part, for me was that he kept things moving along. I did not have call once to ask if we were still going forward. He used email to inform me of the cases progress....

Mr. Sisk, My Hero
Jerry Sisk was there when I needed him. He was recommended to me by a collegue. At the time I hired him, I was confused, felt like I was being taken advantage of and did not know who to ask for help. At my first meeting with Jerry, I instantly knew I was in very capable hands. He took over my case, g...

former client
I was a client of Jerry Sisk. He handled the worker's comp case. I saw him treating me in a condescending manner by holding what I did as a teenager against me even though in happened in another century. I was no longer that teenager but a responsible professional. Many times he referenced; "re...
I appreciate the feedback. I strive to provide professional and competent legal services to my clients and it is unfortunate that this client felt like s/he had an experience other than that. I encourage all of my clients to communicate with me throughout the representation and let me know their concerns along the way so we can discuss them and address any misunderstandings. I welcome emails, phone calls and in person meetings from clients to express their concerns or questions. I am fully aware that most times this is the client’s first and only workers’ compensation case. I wish this client would have done that in this case. While I have no independent recollection of this client and the situation described, I encourage all my clients to be forthright with regard to their past history as it oftentimes plays a significant role in the handling of their case. Their past history will come into play when a judge or defense lawyer assesses the client’s truthfulness or what their physical condition was before the work injury. All of these factors a competent workers compensation lawyer would want to know when assessing a case. Again it is unfortunate that it was interpreted by this client as an attack instead of an attempt to provide good legal representation.
"Jerry Sisk is an excellent workers’ compensation attorney. Bright, energetic and talented – he possesses the willingness to try cases when necessary- balanced by the discernment to resolve disputes amicably where appropriate. Guided by a good moral compass and possessing a solid set of technical skills, Jerry provides superb representation for his clients. Jerry possesses an able grasp of the intricacies of the complex Minnesota Workers’ Compensation law. Before coming to work at the Law Office of Thomas D. Mottaz, he spent 5 years working at the premier St. Paul insurance defense firm of Heacox and Hartman. There he learned the nuts and bolts of defending a case. This tutelage prepared him well for his position. In addition to providing zealous and capable representation to his clients, Jerry also presents at various seminars and he periodically writes for local legal publications. Jerry is also very active in the local bar association. As such, I highly recommend him."
"Jerry is a dedicated professional, with high standards and a strong committment to both his clients and the ethical practice of law. He is both a tireless advocate for his clients and a thoughtful, reasonable negotiator."
"I have known Jerry since 2001, and I know him to be a hard worker and a zealous advocate for his clients."
