About Carol

Learn Carol’s areas of practice.

4
Practice areas
  1. Family
    45%
    We have many pleased family law clients. See client comment sampler at www.attorneysinminnesota.com. As a Certified Financial Planner, I have special financial expertise relating to dissolutions.

  2. Estate planning
    35%
    Unlike many estate attorneys I have a substantial litigation background

  3. Criminal defense
    15%
    From 1976-1984 I did criminal and appellate work exclusively at Meshbesher, Singer and Spence. We successfully represented the police officers in the Scott County cases in 1984-1986

  4. Appeals
    5%
    I did all the appeals at Meshbesher, Singer and Spence from 1976-1984 and won some high publicity cases including the Piper Kidnapping appeal.

I am at the peak of my experience at this time, having passed the Bar in 1976.  Client satisfaction is very high as illustrated in my website.  I am a Certified Financial Planner, which is a unique qualification for an attorney, requiring approximately 2 years of study and 2 days of testing with a pass rate less than 55% in the year I became a CFP.

My strengths include detail orientation and persistence in obtaining a result. I am quick and communicative. I feel that sometimes I wear the other side down through persistence, among other things.

"Industry recognition" on AVVO may be kind of low because I don't want to take the time to solicit recommendations from other attorneys.  A quick free consult, by calling, should be enough to create confidence in my ability to pursue a successful outcome for you.

Excellent lawyer! Mrs. Grant knows her stuff. She took on Hennepin county CPs for us on bogus charges. She never missed a beat, she pointed out each and every lie they told under testimony . Don't be fooled by her sweet beauty, she is a beast in the court :-)!

Carol has a way of dismissing the petty things and getting right to the heart of the issue. She's excellent at finding the truth and getting the Judge to see the truth also. I only wish I had found her sooner as it would have saved me much distress and money. I recommend her to anyone faced with an ex that is dishonest.
