I had a complicated case where the insurance company denied liability and said my injuries were not from the car accident. Paul Otten would not give up and I received a six digit policy limit settlement. Paul took my car accident case to trial because the insurance company would not make a fair offer. The jury awarded me far more than the insurance company's low ball offer. Paul Otten is an excellent trial attorney.

A 68-year-old man was stopped at a red light in Minneapolis when he was rear-ended by an inattentive driver. After months of conservative treatment with no relief of his pain, this gentleman underwent injections in his back and eventually endured surgeries on his lower back. The insurance company doubted that these severe injuries could be related to this modest rear-end collision.

I had some legal questions about an accident that I was in. They provided knowledgeable answers and were very patient with me (first time having to deal with anything like this.) Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a kind and professional law office to work with.

Paul has served as my attorney for not just one, but two car accidents. I wouldn't use anyone else. The law office is professional and highly skilled in advocating for victims and making sure that you receive the best possible outcomes, both physically and financially.

I spoke with a young woman about my car accident here. Even though the damages to my person and property might not have been enough to justify hiring an attorney, the person I spoke with was very helpful, patient with my questions and offered good pointers to help me out. If I ever am in a more serious accident I will definitely think of Otten Law. Thank you!
