Clausen & Hassan

Brian Clausen is the toughest, most diligent, responsive, experienced, honest, respectful, and hard-working attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with (and I am one). I came to Brian with a difficult legal situation and less than a week to prepare to litigate it, and Brian was on. The. Ball. He was in constant communication with me, had researched all the relevant legal nuances, prepped me for the hearing, and had an excellent defense prepared. Fortunately, he did not need itu2014Brian also recognized that the best solution for me, and indeed, all parties in this situation was a creative settlement that he crafted before we even walked into the courthouse. I went in to the hearing hoping for that settlement, but confident that Brian would be the legal bulldog I needed in that situation if it was not agreed to.

This is a review for Brian Clausen. nnMy case is in reference to a custody battle. I have met several lawyers in the area before being introduced to Brian. From the phone conversation to meeting in person, this man, Brian, is respectful, patient, diligent, caring and honest. These are just a few characteristics I witnessed in my time of meeting him. I immediately felt taken care of and in good hands. He responds to his clients and potential clients in a reasonable manner. You get what you pay for and I highly recommend Brian. You will not be disappointed in his character. This review is a non-client endorsing his character and professionalism. I was not able to retain Brian, but if had the funds I definitely would. Although I did not hire him, I had a taste of what he delivers.His actions speak for his words and beyond. Anyone dealing with a custody or divorce battle, Brian would be highly recommended.

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, concerns, 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.nnBrian 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.nnI 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. Brianu2019s fees are reasonable, fair, and worth every cent.n

With Highest Regard!nnI am truly grateful to attorney Brian Clausen for his guidance, expertise, and professional approach to my case. In a time of immense stress, Brian was able to provide a level of comfort with his tremendous attention to detail, preparation and accessibility.
