Planning ahead for your final arrangements is a final act of love for your family and friends. Unfortunately, a guy was in a situation where that didn't happen, and he's passing the hat just so he can cremate his father. Instead of mourning, he's fundraising. I love working with this firm.

I highly recommend Jeff and I will certainly be calling him again if I have any other estate planning needs in Minnesota.

I heard about her through an NPR report on Wills & Estates, and a caller to the program, unsolicited, talked about how Ms. Kristianssen has saved his family a lot of money by understanding tax law implications when moving a trust / estate from Montana. She did not disappoint! She is kind, explains legal terms in a layperson-friendly way, and doesn't charge you for things you don't need (she could have charged us for updating the trust documents but told us those were fine as is.) Highly recommend. If you need to do your will or estate planning, don't wait - just DO it, already, and save your loved ones the hassle, confusion, trauma and cost of not having your estate pulled together. Our total bill was about $570. FYI, another attorney wanted to charge me $3,500 for the same work.

After several consultations with other lawyers around the Twin Cities I chose Mr. Patterson. I will…read moretell you, it was one of the best decisions that I could've made.

I was the opposing party in a Dakota County family-court matter in which Clarence Patterson III…read morerepresented the other side. He never represented me. This review concerns my direct experience with his courtroom advocacy and written positions. I understand that attorneys must advocate firmly for their clients. But in family court, words can alter a person's life before disputed facts are fully examined. At an August 28, 2025 hearing, the transcript records Mr. Patterson saying that I "love to talk about guns," that my "relationship with guns is concerning," warning that people could be "caught in the crossfire," and later portraying me as someone who "needs a gun to solve his problems." I stated on the record that I hated guns, had never owned one, and would never have one. I found it profoundly disturbing to be portrayed through repeated gun-related language when I was expressly denying any interest in owning a firearm. The same transcript records Mr. Patterson referring to "his bipolar disorder" while denying my concern that mental-health labeling was being used against me. I experienced the combined gun and mental-health framing as stigmatizing and dehumanizing--an effort to turn disputed allegations into a frightening portrait of an armed and mentally unstable person. A separate and extremely serious discrepancy involved Dakota County Crisis. A sworn filing in the case stated that a crisis-team member had contacted counsel and that the entire office had been alerted about me. A Dakota County Crisis supervisor later wrote that she had searched the system and consulted with colleague supervisors, found no record or recollection of such an alert, found no documentation of a duty-to-warn event, and stated that the team does not communicate directly with attorneys. In my view, a discrepancy involving a claimed government warning was too consequential to be left unresolved. It deserved a prompt, transparent, and documented explanation. Mr. Patterson also asked the court not to consider approximately fifty exhibits because he said he had not received them. I am not claiming in this review that the service objection itself constituted misconduct. I am describing the consequence as I experienced it: severe allegations were presented while a substantial body of my responsive evidence was not considered at that hearing. The matter ultimately resolved by stipulation before the scheduled evidentiary hearing. The most severe characterizations were therefore not adjudicated through that scheduled hearing. The litigation nevertheless caused profound personal, financial, and reputational harm. I found Mr. Patterson's approach unnecessarily escalatory, stigmatizing, and damaging. I would not recommend him. Strong advocacy does not require turning another human being into a caricature of mental illness and violence. Family-law attorneys exercise enormous power, and that power should be matched by factual precision, restraint, professional judgment, and accountability.

No, Anna milked us for every penny she could!!!! It took me 4 times to explain to her how military retirement works. Not real complex you work for the military for 20 years or more and you get a retirement payment. She could not understand that. We had no children involved and no disagreements but it cost over $15,000.00 and SHE DID NOT EVEN FINISH THE CASE!!! Even though we had an agreement, we finally had to remind her we had an agreement when we came to her but she wanted to suck more money out of us. We went to meditation in Aug 2015 and I thought everything would be wrapped up within a month.....ah not so much. It is now April 2016 and the attorney finally withdrew because she kept adding things and rewriting things that were meaningless. She also wanted us to pay for ANOTHER attorney to help her complete the Stipulations!!! If she couldn't do it...what were we paying for in the first place. She was also INCREDIBLY SLOW at getting things done. There are FAR BETTER attorneys in the Twin Cities STAY AWAY FROM MS. HAGSTROM!!!
