This was a difficult, long and drawn out custody case lasting over 4 years with several litigations by contentious Respondent. After a 10year gap of no interaction or relations with child, other parent wanted to go back to old custody order of 1/2 legal/physical custody and joint decision making. I had obtained a temporary full legal physical order during that time due to op arrest. This never got amended and now years later child has no recollection of op (who is virtual stranger) who wants to uproot and disrupt their life with drastic changes. Matt was recommended by friend which I hired on short notice. Matt was able to take my case with just 1 week before my court date. We contested the motion and countered, Matt was able to get me permanent legal & physical custody along with child support & back pay. Moving forth op did have opportunity for gradual parenting time with reunification therapy. Therapist resigned due to op behavior and we went back to court. My child no longer has to go through the process of reunification and no longer required parenting time against their wishes and op has to pay my attorney fees due to unnecessary litigation. Matt listens, is non-judgmental and responsive with questions, he is honest, knowledgeable and logical on the capacity of the case outcome. He is patient, understanding and does not let emotions nor anger from adversarial parties involved distort or distract from the case and facts. I was allowed to express my input and give suggestions on things I felt were important to include in the case. He even researched and found exhibits that benefited my case I was not aware of. Matt, Patrick and Jen are rockstars and I couldn't of asked for a more competent team in getting the ideal outcome for both me and my child. I highly recommend him especially if you have a difficult and complicated custody case.

Charlie Alden is a superb attorney. He works tirelessly for his client in an ethical manner. I highly recommend him.

Matt (Matthew)Gilbert is the worst attorney! He is dishonest, harasser, and terribly weak as attorney. If you ever become his client, he will harass you 2 years after you fired him and creates imaginary fees even he is not your attorney and was fired. He is not sharp either! He lost many of his deals, do research! He done absolutely nothing for me, got fired, the court order all fees to be covered by my husband. 3 years after firing him, he sends me harassing letters, in each of them changing tie amount I own him. Even though I don’t own him any money! But the truth is on my side! Very unprofessional and lier! If you want the worst person, here is your man!

Matt Gilbert is the best family lawyer I've ever worked with, by far, and I've worked with a few other family lawyers in the past until I was recommended to reach out to him. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, his strategies are also unmatched. He knows what he's talking about. We all know how difficult divorces can be and how they can drag on for years. Believe me when I say that there's no better person to have in your corner than Matt. I've recommended many people to him as he was recommended to me. I don't know if I would've gotten my son back if it wasn't for Matt. I'm forever grateful. Ps, the entire firm is outstanding. My mom also worked with them on other legal matters such as writing a WILL and they were amazing.

BEST FAMILY LAWYERS IN MINNESOTA I WANNA THANK PATRICK AND EVERYONE ON HIS TEAM

Charlie helped me navigate a business transfer by showing me how I could do this myself through the state website. I appreciate his knowledge and the challenge to do it myself so I can accomplish more through the site when I need to!

Charlie is a trustworthy individual and highly competent in tough litigation. He put his clients best interests ahead of his own, is a skillful negotiator, has a good sense of humor that appropriately lightens tense moments, and outworks his competition. While it may seem like he has a lot of time because he is so responsive to his clients, he actually has highly efficient systems and a great team which allow him to effectively manage a large amount of cases. I was struggling with a property dispute and reached out to Charlie for help. The situation settled with the highest and best outcome which would not have been possible without his guidance. On the family law side, Beth is knowledgeable about civil procedures and well equipped to advocate for her clients and their families.

Tried to make decisions for me and not let me have a say lawyer was not aggressive would not recommend to anyone

I can't express enough how grateful I am for Gilbert Law Firm, especially Matthew, who became my guiding light during the darkest period of my life. After facing disappointment from two previous attorneys and feeling trapped in an unjust situation, Matthew Gilbert (@ Gilbert Alden Barbosa PLLC) was a game-changer. Matthew is not just a hard worker; he's a true professional who knows his stuff inside out. What sets him apart is his fairness and reasonableness, which is a breath of fresh air compared to others I've encountered. He wasn't just my attorney; he felt like family throughout the entire process. Matthew provided advice like no other attorney I've worked with. He was always available to speak on the phone or in person, making me feel heard and supported during low and high moments. His dedication and unwavering support felt like having a counselor by my side. He fought tirelessly for my case, turning what seemed like an impossible situation into a glimmer of hope. Before hiring Mr. Gilbert, I had an unfortunate experience with a well-known law firm in Dakota County, which only added to my bills and stress. If I had chosen Gilbert Palden Barbosa PLLC from the beginning, my situation would have been drastically different, and I would have saved both money and sleepless nights. I can't emphasize enough how every detail of Matthew's work is worth every penny. The results speak for themselves, and I now find myself in a much better situation. If you're seeking justice and fairness, don't hesitate—choose Gilbert firm. Matthew's dedication, compassion, and professionalism are second to none. This is not fiction, but a true story, a battle against a broken system that lasted nearly 2.5 years. For the first 1.5 years, my previous attorney(s) did nothing but add to the financial and personal frustration, to the point where one of them seemed to be working against me rather than with me. It felt like the attorneys on the other side were intentionally prolonging the case. However, when Matthew Gilbert entered the picture, everything changed. unwavering hope in a sea of despair. Unlike my previous experiences, Matthew was not interested in prolonging the case or adding to my financial burden. Instead, he tirelessly sought justice on my behalf. Matthew went above and beyond to help me. It was a sign of his commitment to my case. Thank you, Matthew, for believing in my cause and taking it upon yourself to fight for justice against corrupted attorneys and a flawed system. In summary, my experience with Matthew Gilbert and his staff is a testament to their dedication to justice and fairness. If you're facing a similar uphill battle, I wholeheartedly recommend their services. Matthew's belief in my case and his determination to serve justice have made all the difference in the world. Choose Gilbert Alden Barbosa PLLC and find the ally you need to stand up against injustice. I want to extend a heartfelt shout-out to everyone at Gilbert Alden Barbosa PLLC who played a part in my case (Patrick, Jen, Judy). You all deserve an AAA+ rating. Thank you for turning my life around! trust in God, and work with Matthew for your legal needs. Your faith will be rewarded, and justice will prevail.
