Mr. Hunstad - I cannot thank you enough for your help over the last few months. The divorce was difficult enough but it was easier having a lawyer that would tell me the truth. -PK

Mr. Hunstad was both helpful and patient with me. He walked me through my employee contract step by step. While going through each part of the contract, he was able to put everything into laymen's terms if I didn't fully understand the technical aspects . He also had a great grasp of current laws, both state and federal Overall I would highly recommend him based on both knowledge and communication.

I was encouraged to hire an attorney for my divorce, I didn’t know where to begin looking. I found Andrew through the Ramsey County Bar Association. I did an initial consultation with him and hired him on the spot. Andrew is knowledgeable, helped me understand all the legalities. He works hard to be fair and provide an equitable outcome. I would recommend him, and have recommended him to several people.

I friend recommended I talk with Andrew Hunstad after my first attorney stopped communicating with me. I decided to hire him to take over my case.. Andrew was very professional and responsive to my calls and emails. From the beginning, Andrew listened to me. I told him what was important to me and he did not forget. Divorce is not much fun but finding someone who can explain the law, communicate my concerns, and deliver made it easier. Take my advice, talk to him before you hire anyone else.

Andrew Hunstad and the staff were helpful and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. They made a very difficult time for me as quick and as painless as possible. He is a real professional and made all legal matters a walk in the park for me. From the free consultation all the way until the finalization Andrew and the staff were extremely professional and knowledgeable about the process. Highly recommend!

I hired Andrew long distance by phone. We discussed my marriage and many of the unique financial aspects to it, and what I hoped to accomplish in the settlement agreement. Andrew was extremely patient with me and the emotional struggle I had with exiting a long term partnership that I did not plan to leave. He was kind and gentle with me but kept me on task. Andrew was really great at guiding me through the negotiations, reminding me of what mattered and what really didn't. Andrew knew that language requiring my ex to provide financial assistance for my adult daughter's horses was paramount for me, and he found a way to accomplish that despite there not being any child support, and in a way that my ex did notperceive it as "too much alimony". In other words, he allowed the opposing side to maintain dignity while still getting me a really generous settlement. The single thing that he did which stands out though, and one which my ex just hammered me about, is that Andrew fought really hard to protect my marital share of my ex's privately held company stock. While there was no street value at the time of the divorce, the potential was there. Andrew held firm about putting language in regarding those shares. Less than a year after the divorce, the company announced recapitalization. The $5,000 or $7,000 I spent on Andrew working through that - and it took subpoenas to my ex's HR department - will net me almost a million dollars once the shares transfer. I almost gave up on this battle as I felt like I'd won so many others. I'm so grateful that Andrew insisted I did not! Additionally, we had three homes in three states; a lot of moving pieces and complicated income and assets and debts. Andrew was methodical and calm and wise and dug in to get the complete information, but remained calm and friendly and available to me as if I was his only client. In the end, he went to court without me even there. I met him once, briefly; which in hindsight seems outrageous for a person who's legal work amounts to several million dollars worth of settlements. I couldn't be more happy with what Andrew accomplished for me and for how kind he was doing it. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a divorce attorney. His attention to detail and his knowledge of the law was priceless.

Mr. Hunstad, When we first met, we discussed my concerns related to the divorce and spousal maintainence, amongst other things. You were candid in your advice and told me what I needed to hear. Your understanding of the law and the emotions involved saved me from making a costly mistake. You literally saved me $7,000.00 each month. Thank you, again.
