Brian Joseph Clausen

Brian Clausen was my attorney in 2018 as I lived through a divorce and custody trial. Thankful is the first word that comes to mind when I look back at that season of my life. Thankful that Brian was in my corner for my children and I. Thankful for his constant professionalism, proactive preparation,... and open communication. I never had to question what he was doing or how he was going about it – he explained my options so thoroughly and helped me see the consequences (good or bad) with every potential action. He helped keep my head in the right place as I navigated the most emotional and stressful time in my life. He stood with me and for me. He treated me with respect and understanding. I walked away from the experience, not only with my children, but with many lessons learned from Brian that I use today in my career and interpersonal relationships. Brian is exactly who you need and want in your corner as you navigate this road.

Brian Clausen is the toughest, most diligent, responsive, experienced, honest, respectful, and hard-working attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with (and I am one). I came to Brian with a difficult legal situation and less than a week to prepare to litigate it, and Brian was on. The. Bal...l. He was in constant communication with me, had researched all the relevant legal nuances, prepped me for the hearing, and had an excellent defense prepared. Fortunately, he did not need it—Brian also recognized that the best solution for me, and indeed, all parties in this situation was a creative settlement that he crafted before we even walked into the courthouse. I went in to the hearing hoping that for that settlement, but confident that Brian would be the legal bulldog I needed in that situation if it was not agreed to. Brian’s knowledge and experience with the Dakota courts and the Judge we were assigned were invaluable as well. If you are looking for a tough, experienced, knowledgeable, creative attorney that will actually answer your calls and emails—you can stop looking now. Brian’s your guy. I highly recommend this penultimate professional.

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.

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.
