DeWitt LLP | Minneapolis Law Firm

I hired DeWitt Law Firm last year for a landlord‑tenant matter and was represented by Julie N. Nagorski. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.

Communication was consistently poor — emails often went unanswered for days, phone calls weren’t returned in a timely manner, and I didn’t feel there was meaningful engagement with my case. As a client, it left me feeling unsupported during a stressful situation.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm.

*update* they invoiced for $1200 and I proved $900 of incorrect invoicing. It took a while to get anyone to review what THEY invoiced, and they still cannot tell me what it was for... absolute shame! This again was un related to the original post, which totals over $2000 which they cannot explain.

MN FRAUD AT ITS FINEST. What a joke, they contact non scoped people and bill for it without telling you any information. When you ask why, they bill for asking, then have secret meetings, and then bill you again.. what a absolutely fraudulent firm stay away. such a disgrace to lawyers.

Now I know why this law firm has a 2.9 review. people, believe the reviews!
Pro: Sarah, the Paralegal, was such a nice person, great conversation and timely response.
Now lets get to Mr. Nate or Nathan
Con: 1. he autocorrected my name to "peru"... okay, I can see that happening.
2. I painstakingly filled the form, got to the phone call and this is how it went
He was talking about will, trust, power of attorney etc. (keep in mind he already knows my family's worth), and like educated people that we are, we had questions (plus, he was speaking fast too, so I had to halt him to repeat some things). Please ask me why after the 2nd question this "fragile ego entity" decided to tell me I was arguing with him and if I wanted to argue he can't be our lawyer. I was stunned (like where did this come from). And my husband was like :we are just asking questions because we are not the expert and wanted to understand. And he literally said (and I kid you not) I'm not used to people asking me questions right out of the gate ( "sigh in my ancestor's language). Anyway, I just told him, "if you already feel this way just after two questions, how would we be able to ask you questions in the future if we don't understand something. I don't think you are the best fit then". Needless to say, he was like "metlife will find you another lawyer". Dude, I spent hours going through lawyers, no one did the work. Anyway, whatever is wrong with this Nate, he needs to go get some "communication 101" course on his learning path.
