Maschka, Riedy, Ries & Frentz Law Firm

What Maschka, Riedy, Ries & Frentz Law Firm does

Maschka, Riedy, Ries & Frentz, operating as Maschka Personal Injury following a 2024 rebrand, is a privately held plaintiff personal injury law firm headquartered in Mankato, Minnesota. Founded in 1999 by Jerry Maschka, the firm maintains a team of eight lawyers supported by approximately twelve staff members and offers representation across personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, business and civil litigation, mediation, and estate disputes. The firm emphasizes complex and catastrophic injury matters, including tractor-trailer crashes, product liability, and medical negligence cases.

The firm operates a contingency-fee revenue model in which clients pay no legal fees unless a settlement or verdict is obtained, complemented by free initial case reviews available by phone, in-person, and virtually. It generates business through a combination of direct-to-consumer outreach (educational blog content, free guides, social media, community sponsorships, and a scholarship program) and attorney referrals, including co-counsel and local-counsel arrangements with out-of-state firms. Service delivery is delivered via traditional legal channels — there is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or AI tooling disclosed.

The firm has accumulated multi-state licensure in Minnesota, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, and Illinois, and has secured notable verdicts and settlements including a $15 million wrongful death recovery, a $14.5 million spinal cord injury settlement, and over $30 million in tractor-trailer case results. Several attorneys hold MSBA Board Certified Civil Trial Law Specialist credentials and have been recognized by Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, and Minnesota Lawyer's Power 30. The firm is privately owned as a partnership with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no external funding.
