Clausen & Hassan, LLC

Going through a divorce is an extremely difficult situation and the choice in representation is crucial, you only get one chance to make the right choice. After analyzing the reviews and having my initial intake with Farhan and his team, there was no doubt this was the absolute best fit. Farhan is methodical and surgical in his approach and the wealth of experience he brings to the table is second to none. My divorce has now extended over almost 4 years concluding at the Minnesota Court of Appeals where our position was affirmed. Farhan, with his extensive knowledge and experience, once told me that an important aspect of his job is making sure he finds the best professionals for our case such as custodial and therapeutic professionals, financial mediators and a parenting consultant. Having navigated the Minneapolis landscape for almost 25 years, he found the best fits for my case. Farhan provided effective representation from being initially served papers through trial court and eventually landing in appellate court; winning at all levels. He is sincere and works diligently to do the right thing. During this process, I have seen lawyers working for their careers and personal accolades, but not once did I ever question his objectives or motives. He is genuine and well versed in the law and will tell it to you straight. I was always kept in the loop and updated of changes and he was very open and honest with me hearing my concerns and feedback. Often times he would tell me what was going to happen well in advance there were never any surprises. I felt extremely comfortable and confident in his professional acumen, and was put at ease with his thoughtfulness and understanding of the strains these situations impose. If I were to sum it up, Farhan is fair, knowledgeable, consistent and understanding and he will immerse himself in your case to provide the best possible outcome. I am confident you would truly be in excellent hands.

Divorce is hard. If youre looking for a divorce attorney, its not without a lot of pain and remorse. At the dawn of my separation I had phone consultations with half a dozen different attorneys during a super scary/uncertain time, and Brian Clausen was different-- he put my mind at ease immediately, and I knew from our first conversation that he was the right mix of gentle and bulldog. He was tough and appropriately feisty; he acknowledged my emotions and helped me make logical decisions with a focus on the future in the midst of a chaotic mess that I just wanted to be done with. He saved me from making decisions out of desperation and exhaustion, while still respecting my limits. Hiring a knowledgeable, experienced attorney is an investment! Clausen and his team worked hard for me, and Im grateful.

When it became clear that I needed representation for my divorce, I looked for a lawyer that was intelligent and thorough. Farhan exceeded my expectations, first helping me achieve a fair divorce settlement and then a year later in a more challenging custody case. Farhan made sure that we were prepared for both cases, which at times required setting aggressive deadlines for me getting him information so that he could organize our case. What I appreciated the most about working with Farhan is that he favored a team approach when working with me, we discussed strategy and he honored my wants and needs while advising me on options and consequences. I highly recommend Farhan to represent you in family law cases and did recommend him to another friend who had had equally favorable experience.

Mr. Clausen represented me during my child custody case, and I would highly recommend him. I was emotional through this experience and Mr. Clausen always respected my feelings and listen to what I wanted and what I had to say. Mr. Clausen explained realistic expectations within my situation, and I always felt he had my best interest at hand. He is detailed and explored many options and outcomes that may arise throughout the process of my case. Mr. Clausen is knowledgeable, professional and respectful. In addition, the team behind the firm Clausen & Hassan were great to work with and easy to talk to.

Farhan represented me in my divorce case. During my first interaction with him, he spent considerable time with me explaining the whole process, and answered all the questions I had at that time. During the process of the divorce, he was always very responsive to my questions and requests, and I felt he took the time to hear my concerns (and then act accordingly in my best interests). I felt well-represented during the entire process.
