Rhonda J. Magnussen LLC - Elk River, MN

Rhonda Magnussen is a fantastic attorney who answered all my questions timely and is a professional in the court room. I highly recommend her.

Rhonda helped me with an extensive estate issue and went above and beyond. I am so thankful for her expertise and time. She is truly great to work with and I am sure I will work with her again in the future.

I was forced by the courts to use Rhonda for a title severance on my home as the mediator. Rhonda had never done a title severance so we basically had to pay for her to fumble her way through the process. My ex continually made up lies and used her as his therapist and because I chose not to defend myself against his lies she took that as he was telling the truth. However at her hourly charge of $300 I just wasn?t going to waste money defending myself to her because I didn?t think it was worth the money nor did I care what she thought. Because of that she made false statements to the title company about me stating she thought I took out the 2nd mortgage on our home with out my ex knowing I did so and that was an absolute FALSE statement. Acting as if she was not informed in the very beginning that there was a 2nd mortgage all along. She just was not paying attention probably because she didn?t know what she was doing. All the court recorded documents show its existence prior to her being appointed. I mean any real estate attorney should have knowledge that it is not even possible according to MN state laws. LAW- If title is held jointly by 2 individuals not married on a property it takes 1 person to buy, 2 to sell and 2 to refinance. Meaning MN requires my ex sign certain documents at the closing even though the loan was just in my name. It was only in my name because my credit score was better and because I made enough money to qualify for everything by myself. When the 2nd mortgage was originated Mark was required to sign the mortgage (Per MN Law) acknowledging the home was used as collateral to obtain the loan, the 3 day right of rescission & the TIL, I signed the note since that was the promise to repay at agreed upon terms. Not only were her claims false but in my opinion shows her gross ignorance for the laws & incompetence to handle our case due to her lack of knowledge. Also because Rhonda was signing the Purchase Agreement as the seller- the sellers disclosures were not required as she never occupied the property therefore could not speak on home material facts plus the buyer was provided a home inspection that was done on the property. Because of her lack of knowledge on what was required I ended up having to pay thousands more all because she was requesting items NOT required. Rhonda as well as her whole staff was unbelievably rude and they made an unpleasant situation 150 times worse than it needed to be. I would not recommend her nor would I recommend Hiller Auction. Hiller Auction and Rhonda were paid astronomical amounts of money but both provided sub par service and for that I would never recommend either of them. Between Rhonda?s fees and Hiller it cost over $30,000. It was an absolute joke. In the end my ex ended up suing myself, the buyer, the buyers realtor and Rhonda and he lost to us all. Although if my ex knew what he was doing he definitely could have had a win-able case against Rhonda because the errors were endless.

Very DISHONEST, unethical, and down right cold-blooded liar! She's a scam artist who only cares about her financial interests. Zero negotiation skills. NEVER EVER, EVER USE THIS LADY AS A LAWYER OR COURT APPOINTED REFEREE.
