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.
I had a very difficult family law issue regarding my ex-spouse's ongoing parenting plan violations and documented parental alienation efforts on my daughter. I had spent years working w/ past attorneys and family therapists to help ameliorate some of the more destructive effects of my kids' mother's behavior. The clock was running out quickly for any type of legally enforceable remedies - family therapy or otherwise. Scott promptly assessed my case via his legal assistant and decided that I had run out of legal remedies. I still needed more info so I scheduled a paid consultation. When we finally met, Scott immediately cut to the chase and in just a few minutes gave me a complete and definitive legal prognosis about winning any additional legal action or even getting my daughter into any type of reunification therapy. Zippo chance. I had previously spent thousands working w/ another attorney just trying to get this answered. Scott correctly perceived that our family issues were far more than legal. He spent the remaining 45-50 minutes of our 1 hour consult giving me some of the best family therapy advice I ever had. He had seen a lot of parental alienation cases and understood the long-term affect on adolescents and parents. He was empathetic. He understood the big picture. I would go so far as to say that single session was transformative. I so wish I had found him at the beginning of my divorce. With Scott, I knew I would have definitely gotten what I paid for. For all who read this, please be aware that for many going through a divorce, you get one chance to do it right. After that, you can nibble at the edges w/ some modifications but if you don't have a competent attorney fighting for you from the start, you could get utterly steamrollered. I spent more on legal fees trying to enforce a court order drawn up by my original "econo-lawyer" then I did for the original divorce. Scott knew what I needed and not only did he not try to sell me more futile legal services, he even waived the consult fee. His generosity of time, counsel and spirit made him stand out head and shoulders w/ any other family attorney I worked with over the past 7 years.
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 worked "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.
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 things 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 .
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 update 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.
I learned about Scott from another satisfied client. He (and his staff) did an excellent job for my child custody case from beginning to end. I didn't really know what to expect, but I cannot imagine anyone being able to do a better job. Friendly, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and he really cared about the outcome for me and my children.
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 sensitive 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.
Scott is an outstanding attorney. Scott has assisted me with legal matters since October, 2009. He is both kind and realistic. He has a unique way of speaking the truth and being direct without being harsh. He provides options and resources and has guided me to make appropriate decisions based on my circumstances. He tailors his approach to his clients needs, values and priorities and doesn't have a on-size-fits all mentality. Scott is also very good at listening to my goals and helping me formulate the best strategy to achieve those goals. I met Scott during a very painful, vulnerable chapter in my life, and he was my anchor. He helped me stay grounded and focus on what was most important, my children. He helped me set my own emotions aside and explained my legal options in terms that were easy to understand. He then worked through those options with me and advocated on my behalf. Scott has a no-nonsense approach and an impressive understanding of the law which he is often able to recite at will. :) He was respectful of both my time and resources, and he negotiated a very successful outcome for my case. I recommend Scott without reservation. He is a competent, direct, ethical attorney who really knows the law and will passionately advocate on your behalf.
Scott Rodman did an excellent job with my child custody case. He made me feel confident in any issues that arised. I strongly recommend him! He always emailed me back promptly when I had any problems or questions. We came out on top in our case, and got everything I wanted for the outcome. Best attorney by far!
Scott Rodman is exceptional. He has been my attorney for 3 1/2 years, through the various trials and tribulations of divorce. I have needed his services off and on during that time due to several issues (divorce settlement, domestic disturbance, parenting time conflicts) with a difficult ex-spouse. Scott is fair and thorough. He does everything he can do, while also taking cost into consideration. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives excellent guidance, yet is supportive of any decisions I choose to make. He knows the ins-and-outs of my case, and I trust him implicitly. Scott is responsive even during his busiest times. To me, most importantly, he is respectful and kind, knowing the emotional toll a divorce can take on an individual and often "talks me down" from arguments with my volatile ex-husband. He takes a personal interest in making sure my son and I are well represented. I am extremely fortunate to have him as my attorney. I highly recommend Scott Rodman.

He takes a personal interest in making sure my son and I are well represented. I am extremely fortunate to have him as my attorney. I highly recommend Scott Rodman.
