Brian Joseph Clausen

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, conce...rns, 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.

Brian handled my case with great care, sensitivity, and professionalism which I greatly appreciated during this tough time in my life. He was very detailed oriented and provided honest advice at all the steps of the process. He reviewed all the documents with me and explained all the confusing legal ...language in a manner that I could understand. I always felt that I could pick up the phone and call him if I had any questions. He made sure that he was looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Brian to my close family and friends!

There are only a handful of people in life that you never forget. Brian Clausen is one of them. At one of the most difficult times in my life he provided unwavering legal representation that helped me keep my kids and myself safe. Not only did he win, he taught me how to win as well. There aren't wor...ds strong enough to describe my respect and appreciation for his work as an attorney and his compassion and warmth as a person. He saved my children from further abuse and single handed-ly gave me my life and mental freedom back by helping me fight a ruthless opponent with free legal resources.

Much time was spent up front gathering documents before filing-then the same docs were needed after filing, resulting in duplicate work and additional billing. There were several times when multiple calls and emails were made requesting the same info-also padding the billing. Mr. Clausen did not fu...lly inform me in the late stages regarding financial documents that impacted the bottom line for what I would owe my former spouse. He also said he would write the j&d and in the end the opposing atty wrote it and we ended up capitulating to some significant items that were not part of negotiation. Overall, I believe that divorce lawyers are effective at padding the bills and making tactical errors (some of which may just be an unavoidable part of the process). But some of the agreements made were not accomplished (writing the j&d) that were significant and there was significant duplication of work and billing. I would not recommend this lawyer.
