Great Lawyer

I was dropped by my previous lawyer saying they can't help with my case anymore and that I was bound for Sentencing. I was frantically looking for a Criminal lawyer when Mr. Hagen was recommended to me, and what he did was amazing. He under promised and truly over delivered. Mr. Hagen successfully re...duced my felony charge to a misdemeanor. I'm incredibly grateful for his efforts and can't thank him enough. If I ever require legal representation again, I know exactly where to turn in Mankato!!

DWI

Tom Hagen helped with my DWI. He was very professional and knew exactly how to handle the situation I was in. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Mankato area.

Got the help I needed.

I could tell that Tom was knowledgeable as he helped me go through the process. His insights were helpful in making decisions.

Highly recommend

My family has nothing but complete gratitude to offer Mr. Hagen. Prior to deciding to go with Mr. Hagen we spoke with a few other attorneys in the Rochester area. These other attorneys immediately started talking worst case scenario but not Mr. Hagen, he gave us hope.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. I've been working with Tom for over a year and am constantly amazed at his ability to win criminal cases! In the past year I've sen him get many DWI's outright dismissed, which may sound normal, but I believe he may have the highest win rate of DWI's in Blue Earth County. I've also seen him with family law clients, he does not have as much experience in this area, but does a fantastic job of making their problems his problems. Keep up the good work Tom!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
