Daniel J. Kolodziej

I can’t thank Daniel Kolodziej enough for his outstanding representation. He was referred to me by another colleague who was equally pleased with his representation. From day one, he impressed me with his deep legal knowledge, professionalism, and determination to achieve the best result possible. He took the time to explain every step of the process, making complex legal matters easy to understand. Daniel was incredibly responsive—always returning my calls and emails quickly and keeping me updated at every stage. His reliability and communication made a stressful situation so much easier to handle. Most importantly, he truly cared. Daniel showed genuine compassion and treated me with respect and understanding throughout my case. He fought hard for me and never gave up, even when things got difficult. Thanks to his skill and persistence, we won the case. Daniel is exceptional in every way and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or a better attorney. Thank you, Daniel!

If I could give ten stars, I would. Educators need to know that if the school district comes after you, you will need an advocate and you will need someone with a deep understanding of educational law and your rights. That someone is Daniel Kolodziej of Trygstad Schwab & Tyrgstad. Daniel and the firm were with me every step of the way, answering questions, offering guidance... they do so much more than what your union will do for you. If any educator is in any kind of trouble with the district, I cannot stress how important it is that your first phone call is to Daniel at Trygstad Schwab & Tyrgstad.

I had a Special Education situation that needed someone’s expertise that was versed in Sped/Education law and proceedings with the CTC. I called about a dozen law firms that turned me down without really hearing much of the situation. Dan was able to represent me from the beginning to the end of this complicated process. He met with me and made sure he had all the facts. I didn’t feel rushed or minimized through it. Although we are awaiting a decision at this time, I feel very confident due to how Dan prepped me and how he was able to speak up for me during the hearing when it was absolutely needed. I expected the price of his services to be expensive, but he was very reasonable. In the end, every dollar I spent for his representation was well spent. Thank you, Dan, for your guidance and putting my anxiety at ease. Anyone that encounters a legal problem in the education world should look into having Dan represent them.

I have very complicated work issues and Daniel has been very helpful. He is very knowledgeable, professional, experienced and right to the point. I highly recommend him if any employment issues as he knows what he's talking about. Thanks, Daniel.

I have an immense amount of gratitude to Daniel for his help most recently with an employment law case involving workplace harassment and wrongful termination. As a client of Daniel for almost 20 years I always know I can count on him, his unrivaled professional knowledge & experience. Facing a legal matter is a very stressful ordeal, but despite this I always felt reassured knowing that Daniel was on my side and would fight for my best interest in seeking a just, fair, and successful resolution. My case against my former employer felt like an uphill battle, but Daniel was always invested in working towards a successful resolution for me. All of Daniel’s guidance is honest, straightforward, and based on his years of success. Daniel stepped in when I needed my rights protected. For the first time in over a year, I feel like a cloud has been lifted and I can finally think about moving forward. For this I will always be grateful to Daniel for going above and beyond a normal call of duty

Mr. Kolodziej handeled a matter for me with care, insight, professionalism and intelligence. He took my case in the right direction with his wealth of experience. I am so grateful to have had him in my corner!

Trygstad Schwab & Trygstad, including Lawrence Trygstad, Daniel Kolodziej, and Shanon Trygstad, have been the rock my husband and I have leaned on when our legal rights have been threatened. Time and time again, TST has challenged those who have sought to take advantage of us and/or have violated our contractual or other legal rights. They have protected us from a variety of unscrupulous characters including charitable groups, contractors, homeowners’ associations, tenants, business competit

I am eternally grateful to Mr. Kolodziej and his firm for fiercely defending my rights. Finally, I had encountered a professional with the skill and aptitude to quickly internalize the facts and subtle idiosyncrasies of my case. Because of him, I am able to bring closure to an especially painful chapter of my life. I unequivocally recommend anyone considering legal representation to consult him first because of his profound knowledge regarding employment and education related law.
