I have waited several years to write about my experience with Gislason & Hunter (hereinafter, “G&H”) for many reasons. I hired G&H around 2016 after the passing of my father. I hadn’t talked to the only other beneficiary to my father’s estate, my brother, a criminal defense attorney, in 2 years. My brother did many unethical things )falsely accused me of crimes, framed me for crimes, lied about he was entitled to money with only me listed as beneficiary to name a few infractions in the estate which is what led me to hiring G&H. I provided all my information and organized everything in a binder. After first meeting with opposing counsel, I was yelled at and accused of withholding information from my attorney. I pointed out I had been charged 5 hours to review my documentation, which included the information I was accused of withholding. Things just kept getting worse from there and my confidence in the skill set lessened. I believed them to be working on behalf of protecting my brother, a fellow “brother in law,” as the work done on my case was so incompetent. On top of fighting my brother’s continuous false allegations, all of which the law firm had reviewed, despite this I was constantly talked down to and falsely accused by my attorney who never believed me until I reminded him of this already being reviewed and then resending a copy of documents or pictures to prove my innocence. I felt like I was fighting not only my brother but my own law firm who was not on my side representing me. I started doing legal research on my own because of the incompetence and almost purposeful failure of G&H to protect me and move this estate along (my father had names on everything so it shouldn’t have taken several years and multiple conversations a month with my brother to resolve this. Essentially, it appeared my brother was dragging this out (and G&H doing nothing about this to stop it and (again) protect me, was to bankrupt me in legal fees. After about the 5th false allegation from my attorney, I got upset and questioned how I was charged to review data when he didn’t seem aware of any of my documents. I was then told this attorney was too busy and had to assign me to another lawyer who I found out was going out on paternity leave around a month into working with me. I had to go through with the new attorney and spend more time and legal fees reviewing and making plans. When he went out on paternity leave, I was reassigned to the original attorney. We had a conversation to negotiate with my brother that if he stopped all legal battles I would buy him out of his share of my father’s property. I said I can’t afford to keep going with the legal battle and buy the property, and he wasn’t paying any bills or helping care for he property which was not addressed by my attorney on my behalf. My attorney wasn’t taking notes and offered up a deal without letting me review before sending and did the opposite of what I said to do and when I caught wind, I confronted my attorney asking if he kept notes because we seemed to spend a lot of time reviewing previous conversations (time=cost to me) and he made an error for which he said now it was made we couldn’t take basic. I had enough and fired G&H. I wrote the owner and a senior partner about my experience. The senior partner said he would take over and get this over immediately. Another lie. I tried reaching out about legal matters that were going to impact me as my brother refused to pay property taxes and our names were about to be published in the newspaper. It took 4 freaking months and my husband and I taking time off work and driving 2 hours to meet up with this attorney and ask why our needs were not being addressed and it was impossible to get this finalized or any communication from G&H or our problems addressed (once you hire an attorney, you can’t go to the other party to talk…everything goes through the attorney). I would never recommend this company. Dishonest, failure to protect, advocate, be efficient and incompetent, unethical.

BEST ATTORNEY! Down to earth, great person Reed! The office is amazing. Everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable.

I must have accidentally hit the wrong one. We've have nothing but great luck and friendly service. Thanks again

You are going to be put on a list for the PPP fraud in America. You stole millions of dollars from the American people. I don't know how you sleep at night but maybe you should sleep I don't know how you sleep at night but maybe you should sleep with Shell's brewery 20 million.

Very knowledgeable, organized, thorough and very helpful. Could not have better representation. Thankful I found such good people to take my case.

Great people and competency.

Very helpful
