Alliance Law Firm P.A. pledges immediate attorney access to every client it serves, a commitment that is backed by a policy of returning all phone calls and emails promptly and by a two-office structure that puts the firm in both Rochester and Eagan, Minnesota. The firm handles family law, estate planning and probate, criminal defense, appeals, business and tax law, and personal injury, with attorneys Terrance J. Zawacki and Steven P. Groschen as partners, David A. Samb as an associate, and Kelli J. Crary as a legal paraprofessional.

Introduction

Southeastern Minnesota is the geographic heart of Alliance Law Firm’s practice, with offices at 2774 Commerce Drive NW Suite C in Rochester and 860 Blue Gentian Rd Suite 200 in Eagan. Both offices are open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. The firm’s operational commitments are specific: immediate attorney access, prompt return of all communications, and aggressive and competent representation delivered cost-effectively. Technology supports these commitments through electronic signatures, encrypted messaging, and video conferencing, which means clients do not always need to appear in person to handle their matters.

Plain language communication is another stated commitment. Legal proceedings involve complex processes, but clients who receive explanations in plain language make better decisions throughout their cases.

Attorney Profiles

Terrance J. Zawacki is a partner at the firm, handling matters across the firm’s practice areas with extensive trial experience in criminal defense and other litigation.

Steven P. Groschen is a partner with equivalent standing, contributing to the firm’s capacity across family law, estate matters, and litigation.

David A. Samb is an associate attorney at the firm.

Kelli J. Crary serves as legal paraprofessional, supporting the firm’s client work across its practice areas.

Practice Areas

Family Law

Divorce, custody, and support proceedings are handled by the firm with the same aggressive advocacy it applies to litigation. Family law clients often face high emotional stakes alongside legal complexity, and the firm’s commitment to plain language communication and prompt attorney access is particularly valuable in these matters.

Estate Planning and Probate

The firm drafts wills and trusts and handles probate administration for families navigating estate settlement in Minnesota courts. The transactional and litigation experience across the firm’s practice areas supports both the planning and the dispute resolution dimensions of estate work.

Criminal Defense

Criminal defense at Alliance Law Firm includes DWI defense, drug charges, and firearm offenses. The firm brings extensive trial experience to criminal matters, which affects how cases are prepared and how negotiations with prosecutors are conducted. A defense attorney with genuine trial readiness is in a different negotiating position than one who rarely goes to court.

Appeals

The firm handles appeals in Minnesota courts, which requires different skills than trial work, including the ability to identify reversible error and construct written legal argument at the appellate level.

Business and Tax Law

Business formation, contracts, and business litigation are within the firm’s practice, along with tax law matters. Small and mid-sized businesses in southeastern Minnesota can work with the firm across the legal lifecycle of a business.

Personal Injury and Litigation

The firm represents clients in personal injury cases, applying its litigation experience to disputes against negligent parties and their insurance companies.

Client Focus

Alliance Law Firm’s client commitments are specific and operational:

Immediate attorney access means that when clients have questions or updates on their cases, they reach an attorney, not a phone system or paralegal queue.

All phone calls and emails are returned promptly. In legal matters where timing matters and clients are anxious about their situations, unresponsive attorneys create a separate problem on top of the legal one.

Electronic signatures, encrypted messaging, and video conferencing reduce the need for in-person visits and make the firm accessible to clients throughout southeastern Minnesota who cannot easily travel to Rochester or Eagan.

Client privacy and confidentiality are emphasized specifically. Legal matters often involve sensitive personal and financial information, and the firm’s use of encrypted communications reflects this.

Plain language communication ensures clients understand what is happening in their cases, which is necessary for informed decision-making throughout the legal process.
