Barbara J Gislason's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Barbara Gislason professionally since approximately 1980. I discuss legal issues with her from time to time for our mutual professional development. I see her in court zealously defending clients. She is a very experienced and dedicated lawyer. She cares about her clients and knows the law to advance their points of view. She is in a leadership position in the American Bar Association as well, which is an unusual honor. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Gislason to a client. - Carol Grant, Kurzman Grant Law Office. Minneapolis, MN"
