“It’s not uncommon for attorneys to practice employment and ERISA litigation; what’s difficult for many individuals is to find a lawyer who represents plaintiffs/claimants on a regular basis.”. Denise Yegge Tataryn practices in the employment law area and devotes a substantial portion of her practice to clients seeking long-term disability benefits and other employee benefits.  Denise has been practicing in the employment law area for over 25 years and gained a special expertise with ERISA while working with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.  Since then her ERISA practice focuses on assisting claimants through every stage of the claim, including strategic planning before filing a claim, appealing and litigating denied claims, and assisting with ongoing claims and lump sum settlements.. “Generally speaking, ERISA is unfriendly to plaintiffs.  In order to prevail, an attorney has to be both detail-oriented and passionate,” explains Denise.  “The earlier a claimant seeks assistance, the better, given the complexities of ERISA and its many pitfalls.”. In addition to successfully representing hundreds of disabled clients, Denise practices a wide range of general employment law, representing clients in matters ranging from discrimination to employment contract, non-compete and wrongful termination disputes.

I have a simple mission.  Do the best legal work I can, for every person, every single day.. I don't believe in lofty promises or salesman-like tricks.  My mentor taught me to practice law the old fashioned way.  Listen to your client.  Build a case.  Attempt to settle.  And then, if all else fails, work your tail-off to beat the other side.. If you haven't guessed, I can be blunt.  Some people take it personally.  You shouldn't.  My job is to protect your backside.  Anyone who gets in the way will frustrate me -- even if it's you..

I believe in trying to make the process easier for my clients by explaining their legal rights and options, and providing them with an accurate portrayal of what might occur in their case if we proceed through the court system (litigation) or proceed through various settlement processes (mediation, early neutral evaluation, etc.). I would describe my "practice style" as trying to resolve cases amicably while being a strong advocate for my client and providing my client with knowledgeable advice about the legal process..

I believe that extraordinary case results come from extraordinary efforts.  I bring to the table the experience, wisdom, and know-how of over 50 jury trials for the defense with a winning record of over 89%. I am a Minnesota State Certified Criminal Law Specialist, a designation attained by only 3% of attorneys statewide and less than 1% of criminal lawyers in Minnesota.  I assess each case for the best legal issues and defenses, and I actively fight the case by filing motions and challenging the State's evidence.  I know which cases should be tried, and how to win them.  Whether your case needs a passionate negotiator, a know-how litigator, or a successful trial attorney, I welcome the opportunity to speak to you today regarding your criminal case.
