The best lawyer in all of North Dakota. Hands down.

Jared is extremely professional, genuine and intelligent. He has represented me in a past case as a public defender and is representing my husband in his case. He is very professional and assuring in what he does. He explains everything in detail in a way we can understand. He is he a REAL lawyer who... cares about his clients cases and not just money. We will ALWAYS recommend Jared Gietzen!!!

Excellent representation, provided hope without portraying false hope

I hired Mr. Gietzen immediately after talking with him by phone. He obviously was very familiar with cases similar to mine and knew what to do and how to go about doing it. Mr. Gietzen treated me with respect, spent the necessary time to answer all of my questions and discuss options for my case. As ...the case unfolded, he kept in touch, even after hours, to keep me abreast of developments. My case was resolved favorably, in part due to Mr Gietzen uncovering a failure in due process on the part of law enforcement. I would hire him again to handle any case I may have that falls in his practice's line of business.

Results!

Mr. Gietzen listened to me during our initial consultation, asked great questions to ensure he understood what he needed to and advised me to continue on with my medical appointments. He immediately noticed the court clerk's mistakes and called the clerk, emailed the judge and requested dismissal. Th...e judge didn't dismiss on that request, but in the end the judge did dismiss the case. Why did the judge dismiss? Because Mr. Geitzen gathered all the evidence to prove the petitioner untruthful! Mr. Geitzen was ready and he wasn't going to back down. Great JOB!!

Wouldn't trust anyone else

Mr. Gietzen worked on the criminal defense team for my husband and the subsequent civil case team. He always went above and beyond to get to the truth of the matter. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our legal needs in the state of North Dakota.

My hero

I found myself facing an attempted murder charge in an unfamiliar state. I knew no details of the altercation other than I had been knocked unconscious. After firing my first attorney for failing to do his job in a total of 8 months, I was blessed to have Mr. Gietzen on my defense team. He tracked do...wn the truth. He found the flaws in so called witness stories. He had evidence handed over to the defense that should have been given over from the start. He turned my whole case around. Thanks to him I was able to leave jail and come home to my wife and daughters.
