Johanna Clyborne was called as an expert witness by the opposing counsel in my divorce trial. I was pro se (representing myself) and I am not a lawyer. She was supposed to opine on my military pension. She instead offered speculation on my security clearance and nature of separation. She is not an expert witness in either area. Opposing counsel and Johanna tried to pull a fast one. They violated the MN rules of civil procedure by not introducing a her expert witness report prior to trial. After more than an hour of testimony - which I objected to on the grounds of her lack of qualification, speculation, and failure to follow civil procedure - Johanna was dismissed from the stand and all her testimony was stricken from the record. The judge chastised opposing counsel for her lack of competency - which I thought was generous as it seemed very calculated to me rather than legal bumbling. This shameful performance should be cause for Johann's sanction and / or dismissal from the National Guard as she clearly is using her military position as an officer for profit. She is doing this unethically as there is no way she can establish herself as an expert in military pensions (which our judge agreed was true) and apparently pulls this sort of move on veterans as a form of character assassination regularly. @mnnationalguard you paying attention?

Johanna Clyborne represented me for several years through the course of my very complicated divorce.  Opposing attorney was a highly rated and aggressive one. So, I need to switch from a good counsel to the outstanding Mrs Clyborne. Her deep knowledge of the law, professionalism, and dedication are impressive. Mrs Clyborne outbid opposing party numerous times, and navigated me through this process. I am very grateful for impressive and outstanding work that Johanna Clyborne does for me. I am referring her to all my friends who also highly impressed by Mrs Clyborne.

After struggling to obtain my half of my former husband's military pension, (I was awarded over 20+ years ago in our divorce) I was thinking I would never find an attorney with the expertise to help me thru the military maze of getting the pension points, getting my award,  and even understanding any of it? I looked for 3 years!!  I couldn't believe my luck when I was referred to Johanna Clyborne!!! She knew exactly what to do from the beginning to the end. She stayed with me all the way thru the complicated process. Very supportive,  professional, kind, and all around "EXPERT" at her job!! I absolutely knew I could trust her advice. She made me feel that I no longer had to stress/worry over my situation.. She ultimately won my case in the end!! I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with mitary family law issues. THANK YOU JO, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

Wonderful place to get all of your legal needs put professionally in order.

Barb Brekke is attentive, warm, and efficient. She made sense of the financial mess my father left as he progressed slowly into dementia. Through her legal counsel I was able to become my Dad's POA, sell his house, configure his bank accounts so they made sense, and have piece of mind, knowing someone understood what I was going through. Thank you for everything you've done for my family and I! I couldn't recommend you more to this prompt, local firm.
