Gary M Hazelton's Lawyer Endorsements
"I know Gary from having spent a week with him in 2011 at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College in 2011. I was impressed with Gary's quick mind and familiarity with issues that affect personal injury cases. Since 2011, I have often read articles and postings written by Gary. His ability to take complex issues and make them simple is well above the average lawyer. And, just as important is his heart for people. Gary is a unique mixture of an intellectual with a practical side that is fueled by his caring and compassionate heart. Although I do not get many people asking me for a referral in Northern Minnesota, when I do get one, the first trial lawyer that comes to mind is Gary Hazelton! I highly recommend Gary to anyone who has been, or has a friend or loved one, who has been injured in an accident."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Hazelton is a tough & formidable opponent. Responsive & ethical."
"Gary is a phenomenal civil litigator. He combines a tireless work ethic, a sharp legal mind, and unmatched empathy for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked closely with Gary on many complex cases. He is truly one of the best attorneys in the state of Minnesota for serious personal injury or wrongful death cases. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Gary has a great reputation in Minnesota handling personal injury cases. He and I worked together to co-author a book that has now reached #1 bestseller status on Amazon.com. Our book deals with insurance company tricks, and is entitled: "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, What your Insurance Company Doesn't Want you to Know Until it's Too Late"."
"I recently joined forces with Mr. Hazelton to co-author “Wolf in Sheeps’ Clothing (What Your Insurance Company Doesn’t Want You To Know Until It Is Too Late)†which became a best seller on Amazon.com. Mr. Hazelton has been doing a great job helping people.I endorse this lawyer."
