About Barbara Gislason
What makes lawyers effective, even exceptional, is the simple things they do year after year. Because I have long concentrated on Family Law and helped pioneer both the Animal Law and Art, Entertainment and Sports Law practice areas, facts and equitable principles are everything important to me. I interview my clients and witnesses with the enthusiasm of legendary sleuths, carrying with me the conviction that when I understand the essential truth, I can successfully advance my client’s cause.
A third generation attorney, I have gained a reputation as a skilled and highly respected attorney, and when necessary, a tenacious litigator. I represent clients in the areas of Family Law, Art and Entertainment Law, and Animal Law. Within the field of Family Law, I have experience with International Family Law, Matrimonial Law, and the numerous legal questions that have arisen in recent years affecting same-sex couples.
I have often been selected for the Minnesota Super Lawyers List, was selected as a “Top 40” Family Law Attorney by Minnesota Law & Politics, a Leading American Attorney in Art and Entertainment Law by the American Research Corporation, and called the “Top animal advocate attorney in the country” by Dr. Phil. I have frequently been asked to speak internationally on the topics of Animal Law and Neuroscience Law.
With more than 30 years of experience, I have represented thousands of clients throughout the State of Minnesota, with the majority of my clients in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. This gives me a deep understanding of the local court systems, and how to best help my clients.
I believe that most clients are seeking a compassionate listener who has the insight and skills to discover solutions to their problems and achieve desirable results. I have the energy, commitment, and experience.
My office is conveniently located on University Avenue between Interstate 694 and Highway 10, with free parking
