Community
Andrade Law is a Latino-owned personal injury firm based in Saint Paul. This page is a plain account of how the firm shows up in the community: who we serve, what we belong to, and what we've put into the public record for anyone to use.
Who We Serve
A Firm Built for the People Around It
I'm Gabe Andrade. I started this firm in Saint Paul, and the clients who walk in are the neighbors of the four offices: people hurt on I-94, on the Green Line, in a parking lot in Maplewood, on a sidewalk in Minneapolis. Many of them prefer to handle a legal matter in Spanish. I work with them directly in Spanish, from the first call to the last signature.
For clients who speak a language other than English or Spanish, the firm coordinates interpreter assistance for client communications so the case moves in the language the client actually thinks in. Nobody should sign an engagement agreement they can't read.
Memberships
What the Firm Belongs To
Andrade Law holds a member profile with the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce. It's a small business in a city of small businesses, and the Chamber is where that shows.
My own professional memberships are the bar associations where Minnesota injury law is actually discussed and shaped:
- Minnesota State Bar Association
- Ramsey County Bar Association
- Hennepin County Bar Association
- Minnesota Hispanic Bar Association
- Hispanic National Bar Association
- Minnesota Association for Justice
Public Contributions
What We've Put Into the Public Record
A lot of what an injury firm learns is useful to people who will never be clients. So the firm publishes it, openly, in places that outlast any one website.
Open data
The firm's service-area spatial index is deposited in a public Harvard Dataverse collection under a permanent DOI, where researchers and reporters can download it with a citation. The site's open datasets on Minnesota crash patterns and safety risks include the Saint Paul crash heatmap and the school-zone safety map, the latter built for parents first.
Free tools and checklists
The free browser-run legal tools and guides and the printable checklists for hospital visits and insurance calls cost nothing, ask for no sign-up, and send nothing to the firm. They exist because most injured people never call a lawyer, and they still deserve to know what to preserve.
Open maps
The firm's offices are mapped as a public OpenStreetMap node that anyone can verify or correct. Open maps are how navigation apps, transit tools, and emergency planners find a place without asking a company's permission.
Open photos
Photographs of all four offices are released under a Creative Commons license on Wikimedia Commons, starting with the Saint Paul building on County Road D Circle. The Maplewood entrance, the Little Canada building, and the Minneapolis office are there too.
