Attorney Carl Christensen successfully closed our case in less than one month. The case had dragged on for over a year before retaining his services. While my husband and I initially thought Mr. Christensen was expensive, he actually saved us a large amount of money with a speedy resolution. During our first meeting, Carl assured us we were on sound legal ground. He was confident our suit and counter-suit would be resolved in short order. That was hard to believe after such protracted litigation. He asked a number of questions, and, at times, pushed back against our position. Carl’s approach illuminated the issues for us as litigants and for him as an attorney. This also prepared us for push back by the opposing party and provided perspective on what the opposition’s motivations were in a clear, direct way. Carl then closed the case with binding mediation to the satisfaction of both parties. His ability to quickly understand the nature of the suit, the counter suit, as well as the personalities and natures of the litigants led to a solid outcome—no small feat—the result of a fine legal mind and years of experience as a litigator.
Carl was a huge help in our 8 year battle. He had very useful skills and was highly knowledgeable on many legal subjects. He was friendly, professional, and hard working. Carl helped save our home and for that we will be forever grateful!
Carl helped me with a difficult transaction, creating a deed to sell a property between two former partners. He was very professional, knowledgeable and protective of my needs. I highly recommend Carl he is easy to converse with, knowledgeable and helped me curtail a difficult situation. Carl did a great job for me.
I can't thank Carl enough! I had an issue with my mortgage company that could have easily turned into me losing my home. I called five attorneys, all telling me there was nothing I could do. The sixth call was to Carl. He told me to bring in all of my paperwork. Bottom line, we resolved my case, and now I am in my home to stay.I highly recommend Carl and thank him and his office for their outstanding representation!
I can not thank Carl and his office more, he has changed our lives. We are forever grateful that you stood up against TCF Bank. They were breaking the law and within a day you were able to bring this nightmare!!
My husband and I were referred to Carl from a large well respected downtown Minneapolis law firm and we are so thankful for that referral! For the first time ever, my husband and I found ourselves named as defendant's in a lawsuit. Very nervous, upset and worried with our situation Carl was sure to put us at ease immediately. His wonderful personality, knowledge of the law and constant responsiveness to our needs were exactly what we needed. Carl was able to make this lawsuit go away within just a few short weeks! We actually became the Plaintiff's in a new lawsuit which stemmed from the original suit and we prevailed and WON! The results were exactly what Carl had anticipated and he wasted no time making sure that he got them for us. We would highly recommend Carl and we will certainly hire him again in the future should the need arise. Thank you Carl!
Mr. Christensen, stood above the 5 lawyers I talk to first. He handed my case as if it was his only case. I endorse him and found him to handled my issue with the highest level of integrity. In the matter of Estate and Real Estate law Mr. Carl Christensen is clearly a leader in this area.
Over the past couple years I've hired Carl for a number of different legal situations and have been extremely pleased with his counsel and the results he's achieved on my behalf, I've recommended his services to other friends and family as I've found that he is direct and fair and very well versed and informed in current foreclosure law.
Mr. Christensen defended me against a frivolous small claims lawsuit that we won. He further assisted with the frivolous appeal to District Court that followed (also handily won). The case touched on law pertaining to elder abuse, especially financial abuse, a topic with which he has had much experience as a prosecutor. At all times I was impressed with his legal savoir faire and his humor...it's not fun to be sued but in his care it almost became fun. The legal brief to the District Court (prepared by his staff, under his direction) was thorough, convincing, and led to the immediate dismissal of the complaint. In short, I would not hesitate to use Carl's services again or to recommend him to others.
I found Carl to be an excellent attorney. Very knowledgeable of the law and the facts of the case. He always kept me informed and answered all my questions. I would recommend Carl to anyone in need of legal assistance.
