I am very glad that Farhan came highly recommended through a family friend,. Farhan’s thought process is very clear on issues, but what really makes; it clearer is the client’s expectations upfront. Knowing the end result and communicating that to him, definitely makes life easier for both the parties. In my experience, Farhan was very candid in letting me know upfront that what I want and what I get in the end might be two different things; and I appreciated the honesty in that. My case was active was almost active for 2 years in court and him and his staff were always very diligent about getting back to me via emails , calls etc. within 24 hours. He never failed to play the devil’s advocate, if ever I was taking an extreme stand on issues, so that he and I can be prepared for the opposing counsel or the judge. It is definitely not something that one expects, from their advocate, but after a while, one does develop a lawyer perspective in doing so. In today’s day and economy, where budgeting is the key and especially in a divorce case , where financial matters can be lengthy and complicated ;Farhan did let me know of ways and things that I can do, to save money and his time and I appreciated that effort of his . Looking back, the only thing that I would do different is learn more about the judicial system on my pace. There were a number of times, that I had to pick Farhan’s brain and his staff as well on the flow of events (mediation, Early neutral evaluation, settlement conferences etc.) . He was more than happy to answer all my questions and educate me on general topics of the judicial system, but it did come at a cost. Instead, I would recommend taking the co- parenting class on legal and economic issues offered through the county for approx... $40.00 , which for the most part covered all aspects of the judicial system. I would even recommend that class, if you are even thinking of divorce and have not talked to your spouse yet. I have not dealt with any lawyers in the past ( most of us don’t) , so my review of course will not have a frame of reference , or comparison , but at the end of the day , I was content with the approach, the skills, the experience that he demonstrated during my case.

Brian represented me on and off over 10 years in a very emotionally changed case where I had to fight repeatedly for visitation and ultimately custody of my child. Brian was professional, insightful, and dedicated to my case. He and his assistants were always quick to respond to any question, concerns, and recommendations by both phone and email. In my change of custody case, Brian built a strong case along every relevant legal factor considered for a change of custody. His strategy paid dividends in overcoming a biased guardian ad litem who, despite clear legal and medically documented physical, emotional, and psychological abuse, along with evidence of neglect, recommended that the child remain with the mother. His attention to detail and clear articulation during the court proceeding enabled the judge to make a well-defined and sound decision in my favor. Brian has also provided me with effective legal counsel for proceeding with a change of name for my minor child. This enabled me to properly file and personally represent my child in a change of name proceeding. I highly recommend Brian Clausen if you want to ensure you have the strongest case possible to be argued in court or to allow you to negotiate from a position of strength. Brian’s fees are reasonable, fair, and worth every cent.

I would highly recommend Brian for any of the areas of law that he practices. Specifically for me he helped with my divorce. At all times during my divorce I was confident that Brian had my best interest in mind. He has a high level of knowledge about the law and does a great job of explaining it in terms that anyone can understand. He is very honest and realistic when he is laying out the facts of your case and at no time did I ever feel he wanted to move my case to court. While I was confident in Brian if my case went to trial he made every effort to successfully settle the case outside of court. I trusted Brian throughout the entire process. He was very accessible throughout the process and was easy to work with during something that is very stressful for anyone going through it. My divorce has been finalized for 5 year and Brian has still be dedicated to my case when anything has come up. If you are looking for an honest, hard working attorney you can trust contact Brian.

This is a review for Brian Clausen. My case is in reference to a custody battle. I have met several lawyers in the area before being introduced to Brian. From the phone conversation to meeting in person, this man, Brian, is respectful, patient, diligent, caring and honest. These are just a few characteristics I witnessed in my time of meeting him. I immediately felt taken care of and in good hands. He responds to his clients and potential clients in a reasonable manner. You get what you pay for and I highly recommend Brian. You will not be disappointed in his character. This review is a non-client endorsing his character and professionalism. I was not able to retain Brian, but if had the funds I definitely would. Although I did not hire him, I had a taste of what he delivers.His actions speak for his words and beyond. Anyone dealing with a custody or divorce battle, Brian would be highly recommended.

Efficiency, Relevance, Empathy, Respect and Clarity. Because of the complexity of the case, during the course of my divorce, I interviewed and communicated with some 20 lawyers. I consequently feel confident to state that Farhan Hassan is one of the best lawyer in the Twin Cities Area. Farhan has an extraordinary ability to rapidly sort through a wealth of information, focus on what is relevant, identify implications, correct misunderstanding, and communicate with empathy, respect and clarity the options available. The quality assistance Farhan and his office staff provided me, while meeting the greatest standards of ethics and efficiency, has bettered our lives forever. I highly recommend F. Hassan.

Custody terms awarded by the court far exceeded our expectations and provide our grandson with the security and protection that we had hoped for. The process was explained to us in detail and they were prompt with answers to questions. Farhan’s guidance to our son thru the divorce and custody process helped him determine the best course of action that ultimately enabled him to do what was necessary so that the court would rule favorably for him and his son. Billing was detailed and they were able to work out payment terms for us. Hopefully we will not need them again but it is comforting to know that if we do they will be there and provide the best representation possible.

I was treated with respect, empathy, and professionalism. I would recommend Farhan Hassan to any person seeking a professional allowing you to feel dignified, secure, understood, and helped along with a true advocate. Mr. Hassan carries himself with a unique mix of grace, self-assurance, intellect, creativity, humility, along with never missing the big picture. After being blessed to work with Mr. Hassan I no longer lump attorneys into a single stereotype. His assistant, Ms. Bryant, is also fantastic. I struggled to find a divorce attorney whom I believed in until I worked with Mr. Hassan. Call with confidence.

I have been a client of Brian Clausen for various family law and parenting issues from 2000 to 2014. Brian has always worked on any issues that I have presented to him in a very diligent and professional manner. I have always appreciated his thorough approach, and his steadfast follow through. He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of family law, and I always feel confident that he is taking the appropriate steps with any and all of my issues. He consistently responds to all of my questions in a timely manner. Any person would feel confident with Brian as their counsel.

With Highest Regard! I am truly grateful to attorney Brian Clausen for his guidance, expertise, and professional approach to my case. In a time of immense stress, Brian was able to provide a level of comfort with his tremendous attention to detail, preparation and accessibility. I trusted that he always had my family’s best interests in mind. I credit him with having such an adept approach with opposing attorneys, as he maintained a level of respectful and professionalism no matter the situation. Thank you Brian!

There is no need to look any further for a divorce lawyer. I have been through a few and was very pleased to finally find Clausen & Hassan. They transferred the house to my name, removed my alimony over a year early, and obtained a Karon Waiver to guarantee no further financial loss. Divorce is unfortunate enough, there is no need to be a victim. Hire a good lawyer! I stand nothing to gain here, other than to hopefully help you shorten your search and save you the time/money/pain that I went through.

Farhan worked very hard on my behalf in my divorce proceedings against an attorney he designated as like a bulldog. He fought back and secured my primary goal, to keep the house with me as its resident so that the kids could have as much stability as possible. All indicators looked as if this was an impossibility. Unbelievably, he also did me a great favor that I will not identify, but it was above and beyond what one expects from any attorney.

I highly recommend Farhan. He was a wealth of knowledge and provided me with the legal advice I needed. Farhan is a hard-working individual, and he made me feel important as a client. I am very grateful for his expertise, and I would use him again for all my legal needs.
