Ryan McLaughlin

McLaughlin Law's ideal customer is a Minnesotan looking to solve their legal problems in the most cost and time-effective way possible. In short, I'm a non-traditional attorney pursuing creative legal solutions.

In the divorce realm, this means my ideal client is open to mediation and other non-litigious options. Of course, given the turbulence associated with divorce, this kind of collaborative approach isn't always feasible. But, in the situations where mediation is possible, I'm an excellent resource. I'm fair, experienced, and trained neutral facilitator of discourse.

In the estate planning arena, my ideal clients are folks who want to set up a will or trust or guardianship provision for their children or pet but don't want to pay huge legal expenses. As a new father myself, I relate to young families and, as a result, they are some of the most rewarding clients.

Whoever you are, though, if you appreciate creativity in service of cost-savings, I'm your attorney!

Specializing in Family Law & Estate Planning, I offer a non-traditional approach to the Minnesota scene in two very important ways.

First, I encourage all divorce clients to save time, money, and energy by using my early mediation services. Mutual satisfaction in marital property division and child custody agreements are 3-5x higher for clients who go through mediation rather than litigation. Second, I advise clients with young families as they plan for their future. From basic wills to guardianship provisions, I offer all of my services on a flat-fee basis. Clients love this price transparency! If you're a young mom or dad, and you don't have an Estate Plan in place, please contact me. With an experienced attorney guiding the process, drafting for the future isn't as intimidating as it seems. Lastly, what makes McLaughlin Law unique amongst Twin Cities law firms is that I'm a 100% mobile legal practice. Unlike most attorneys, with brick-and-mortar locations, I meet clients at their homes, offices, or at local coffee shops. Not having extra overhead, I pass on huge savings to clients. My clients consistently report that they appreciate this savings, and prefer the arrangement.
