• How much does it cost to hire Roderick for a insurance case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Roderick walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Roderick offer a free consultation?

• How long do insurance cases in Minnesota typically take?

  Simple insurance matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Roderick gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Roderick take my case if I'm outside St Paul?

  Roderick is licensed in Minnesota. Matters governed by Minnesota law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Roderick will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Roderick?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Roderick will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Roderick accepting new insurance clients right now?

  Roderick's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
