About Rich Ruohonen
Rich Ruohonen is a trial attorney with a reputation for securing multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements, including some of the largest in Minnesota history. Over two decades he has built an over 80 percent success rate in trials by preparing every case for court and connecting with juries through compelling narratives. His litigation paralegal says he is the most tenacious, hard-working person she knows, always calling back clients and still working after everyone else has left. Outside the courtroom, Rich is a nationally recognized curler who has won national championships and in 2026 became, at age 54, America's oldest person ever to compete at the Winter Olympics. The strategic thinking and discipline of competitive curling mirror his approach to litigation: always thinking three steps ahead and giving everything to the preparation and the fight.
