About Us

One of Minnesota's Best Twin Cities Personal Injury Law Firms

Many law firms who handle personal injury cases fall into one of two categories:

First, there are firms that handle a large volume of injury cases each year. Personal injury attorneys at these firms typically have a large case load and do not have the time to give significant personal attention to each client. Files are handled like factory work. Sometimes, the client may never even meet the attorney who is handling their case. An investigator will sign you up and you may speak to your attorney once or twice by telephone while he or she works to settle your case as quickly as possible – usually also by telephone, and usually for less than its fair value.

Second, there are law firms that handle a few personal injury claims along with many other types of cases. For example, these lawyers may regard injury cases as cases which anyone can handle. That is a mistake. Like all personal injury and wrongful death cases, can involve complex issues, and any attorney who handles such a case without a thorough understanding of personal injury and wrongful death law, settlement releases, and trial practice is doing his or her client a great disservice.

Tewksbury & Kerfeld, P.A. is a unique personal injury law firm. Our firm of personal injury attorneys provides individual attention to clients and their problems, from the first meeting through resolution of the case. Our founders have worked at some of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the state. Our partners have been repeatedly selected by our peers and named in Law and Politics and Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine as personal injury “Super Lawyers,” an honor reserved for the top 5 percent of lawyers in the state, and recognized as top lawyers in appellate practice and personal injury.

We are small by choice. Our personal injury attorneys do not handle hundreds of cases at once. At Tewksbury & Kerfeld, P.A. we are able to devote a significant amount of personal attention and effort to each client. That is important since many of the cases we handle can be complex and require experience and thoughtful consideration. We have experience handling a wide variety of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including

• automobile accidents;
• boating injuries;
• ATV;
• snowmobile accidents;
• products liability;
• wrongful death;
• medical and other professional malpractice.

The law firm of Tewksbury & Kerfeld, P.A. is also unique for a second reason. We hold the distinction of being one of the very few personal injury and wrongful death law firms in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that is also retained on occasion by a select group of insurance companies and defense lawyers to defend complex cases for them.
