About Jean M. Gustafson

I graduated from the University of North Dakota School of Law, Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1991. I was a member of Law Review, and worked at the Thormodsgaard Law Library while attending law school. I attended a summer term at the University of Oslo, Norway and studied international legal studies there with law students from former Soviet block nations.

People about us

Daryl Doucette

“Jean has been a true resource to the HR profession in our community! She has recently given our organization insight and recommendations to update our employee handbook, presented some difficult topics (transgender issues and medical marijuana) at our all-staff training day back in May and is also an active member of the Lakes Area Human Resources Association (LAHRA). Thank you Jean! “

Tyree Sharp

“Jean is committed to Diversity and Inclusion in her practice. She represented me in a Child Protection matter and was able to show the Court my family’s story in a way that communicated the struggles we faced as a black family in Greater Minnesota.”

Jamie Dumbeck

“I had complete faith in Jean that she would be able to represent me in my criminal case. I am more than pleased with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend her to anyone else facing a criminal charge like I did. I can now put this behind me and get on with my life. Jean was amazing.”

Kelly Moser

“I was so impressed with Jean’s knowledge of elder care, estate planning, wills, etc! Jean very clearly described the process I would need to go through in layman’s terms to properly set up my estate planning portfolio. Jean gave me an estimate of costs while breaking down for me how the costs applied to her services and time. I had went to three other lawyers before meeting with Jean all of which had left me reeling at the costs or confused at what truly needed to be done. I highly recommend Jean and her services!”

Ranae Langhoff

I feel like Jean understood my situation. She listened and gave great advice and was very supportive in helping me through my divorce. I know she changed my life. She has helped me tremendously. I can’t thank her enough.
