About

I have personally represented hundreds of individuals charged with a crime in the State of Minnesota.  My mission from Day 1 has been Results.  I do everything I can to make sure that my clients are not subjected to a criminal record, jail or prison time, license withdrawals, asset seizures, and the like.  I have over 15 years in private practice as a criminal defense lawyer, but am still able to keep my fees relatively low because I spend few dollars on advertising, which is not all that common in the industry.  I attended the University of Minnesota with a degree in Political Science making the Dean's List multiple times.  I obtained my law degree from Hamline University, and graduated near the top 20% of my class.  I have spent time teaching law classes at a local college, and am a current member of the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  I am also the Attorney Speaker at the Hennepin County 1-day DWI Program in Bloomington and Minneapolis.    My strengths as a lawyer are my aggressive style, my ability to focus on the important issues in the courtroom, and my research and writing abilities.  In fact, other very experienced attorneys often consult my firm with regard to procedural and constitutional issues in their cases.  For a free consultation, feel free to contact anytime, day or night.

Rodd Tschida has represented me and many of my family members over the last 10 years. Rodd has gained the trust from my family because he has consistently worked his tail off to achieve results which were unexpected and beyond expectation. Rodd never looks to take the easy way out and accept the easy settlement, he will keep fighting on his clients behalf until he gets the best possible result.

Rodd did a great job representing my case. He got my DWI reduced to a speeding ticket (seriously, just a speeding ticket) and got my license revocation overturned. He was profession in representing me, listened to my side of the case, and was compassionate to my situation. He understood the law and found an opportunity where the arresting offer had made a mistake. This is huge in my profession. Every year I have file an annual compliance report that asks if I have various things on my record for the last 10 years. Every year I am able to avoid extensive follow up with the compliance committee since I am able to answer "No, I do not have an alcohol related offense in the last 10 years". Rodd was a career saver!

Rodd went above and beyond in his representation for me. His communication was above and beyond. He answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease during the entire process. I couldn’t have envisioned a better outcome of how my case was handled.

I found Rodd online after I had an incident with a DWI. I had my license taken away. I had a lot of fees to pay. Rodd was able to fight my case for me and I got my kindness revocation rescinded through court which happens to less than 5% of people who have a DWI charge. I was able to get my fees back after we won. On top of that, he was able to get the DWI dropped to a traffic violation since it was my first offense. He is very professional and explains the situations easily so you can understand what your options are legally. He spent hours in the law library at court to study for my case and get me the best possible outcome. I would recommend him to ANYONE.

Rodd, was able to get the 3rd degree DWI charge dismissed. And by entering a plea of guilty for DUI misdemeanor, I was able to get my driving privileges reduced to 30 days (from 12 months revocation). In addition, he was able to mitigate/eliminate some of the probationary conditions with the judge . He was always communicative during the whole process, running things by you, and advising you on the options available and likelihood of those actions being favorable to your particular case and circumstances. I hired him for both the civil and criminal charges. Rodd is a very experienced and conscientious attorney, I would highly recommend him.
