About Us

Conlin Law Firm welcomes the opportunity to be the law firm you need... for any kind of personal injury or wrongful death case.  In Tom’s roughly 30 years as a trial lawyer, he has handled cases involving motorcycle, truck, or car crashes; bicycle accidents; snowmobile injuries; farm injuries; defective products (cars, backhoes, tractors, trenchers, trucks, drugs, medical devices, Zambonis, presses, airplanes, farm implements, stump grinders, road graders, and snowmobiles); airplane crashes; railroad crossing crashes; nitrogen dioxide poisoning; falls; dog attacks; nursing home neglect; and medical malpractice.

Tom has handled cases involving:

• Spinal cord injuries (paraplegia, quadriplegia)
• Brain injury

• Shoulder, knee, ankle, foot, and hand injuries
• Lung injuries
• Fractures
• Organ injuries
• Wrongful Death 

In 2006, after 24 great years at a large, national law firm called Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, Tom Conlin followed a dream of establishing his own law firm.  Tom is enjoying the freedom that comes with being the boss and really likes the privilege of being able to invest himself totally in his clients' cases.  Tom brings many years of legal experience.  He is a Certified Civil Trial Specialist (Minnesota State Bar Association) and has certainly been  “around the block,” but he has also been around the state and the country, representing clients in courthouses from Boston to the West Coast, from Rochester to Crookston.

Conlin Law Firm is well-staffed and skilled to go toe-to-toe with the best defense lawyers in the country.  Stacy Deery Stennes recently joined the firm as an associate, contributing exceptional knowledge and skills to the team.  Maria Gottwalt, our paralegal, has over 30 years of experience. Corinne Suby, our receptionist and legal assistant, has worked in the legal field for many years.   You and your case will get our full attention and care.  Each one of us will either be working on your case or will know about your case.  You may feel free to call any one of us if you have questions about your case, and we will be able to answer your questions promptly.  You deserve that.

Unfortunately, many lawyers forget that clients deserve their lawyer’s time and attention.  Conlin Law Firm is built around the principle that our clients deserve access to us, and they deserve our attention always.  We prepare our cases meticulously to maximize the chances of a great settlement, and we always keep our  eyes on trial in case the defendant or insurance company simply won't pay what is fair.

We handle all personal injury and wrongful death claims on a contingency fee basis.  This means that clients can meet to discuss their case without fear of incurring substantial legal fees.  Clients pay no upfront fees and will not pay any expenses unless they recover.  Give us a call today to discuss your case.
