Stress, expense, conflict: three words that aptly describe most clients’ experience with commercial litigation. Few companies relish litigation, and most business people would prefer not to spend time with trial attorneys, even on a social basis.

Yet, when litigation happens, you want the comfort of knowing that your attorney understands your business, your problems and most of all, your story.

We pride ourselves on establishing immediate rapport and insight into individuals who retain our services. Our legal acumen and our law school resumes are outstanding. But what sets Holstein Law Group attorneys apart from other technically competent litigators is our ability to understand and capitalize on the emotion behind your story, and translate that into a compelling narrative that drives the litigation. For trial lawyers, that’s called a "theme." We call it the "psychological edge."

The stereotype of a bombastic, bullying, self-aggrandizing lawyer lecturing the judge, jury or opposing counsel is, unfortunately, still commonplace in cases we litigate. But that’s not our M.O. You, as the client, are the reason we’re here, and because we get to know you so well, we can speak not only for you, but "as" you. That also gives us a decided advantage over opposing counsel who don’t understand – or like – their clients as well as we relate to our clients. We have an almost pathological curiosity about your business and how it works. Again, the psychological edge, while subtle and sometimes difficult to achieve, is what gives us such confidence as litigators.

Finally, our success rate and reputation with Minnesota state and federal court judges translates to a quality many attorneys never achieve: comfort in the courtroom. When your attorney stands before a judge, delivering what you hope (and have dearly paid for) is a winning argument, you're relying on your counsel's experience and judgment as to what "works" with that particular judge. We know what works. We intuitively know how a judge will react to certain arguments and strategies, based on our own collective knowledge and networking in this legal community. While stress, expense and conflict will always be a part of business litigation, the Holstein Law Group offers you a way to conquer those negatives: our psychological edge.
