We are fiercely committed to fighting and winning every case we take on.
Gad & Gad Law Offices is a Minneapolis-based law firm specializing in criminal defense, civil rights, and immigration law. The firm is led by Attorney Sarah Gad, a nationally recognized advocate for justice—particularly for those whose rights have been threatened or violated, and for victims of government misconduct. Her exceptional record has earned her recognition as a Top Ten Under 40 Criminal Defense Attorney by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys. Sarah is joined by her sister, Attorney Susanne Gad, a former United Nations lawyer with over a decade of experience in immigration and human rights law. After years of practicing independently, the Gad sisters joined forces to build a firm grounded in their shared belief that every person deserves outstanding legal representation—regardless of their background or financial situation.

Our Winning Approach
I. Our Comprehensive Strategy
One of the defining features of our practice is our comprehensive, client-centered approach to every case we take. Unlike many firms, we don’t cut corners, rely on recycled templates, or rush to resolve cases through weak plea deals or quick settlements. When you hire us, you get a team that approaches your case with fresh eyes and relentless focus. We scrutinize every document, analyze every piece of evidence, and explore every possible avenue to secure the best possible outcome. Loyal, zealous advocacy is what we would demand for our own loved ones—and it’s exactly what you and your loved ones can expect from us.
II. Our Dedication to Clients and Their Families
Another defining feature of our practice is our wholehearted commitment to our clients and their families. Unlike most firms, we don’t treat clients like case files or numbers—we treat them like human beings. Whether you’re fighting for your rights or seeking refuge in the United States, we understand that the outcome of your legal matter will have a ripple effect on the lives of those around you. As your attorneys, we will be your fiercest advocates and most trusted confidants throughout the process. Beyond the courtroom, we’ll use every resource at our disposal to minimize the collateral consequences imposed by the legal system—so you can continue building a productive, meaningful life.
We are raising the bar.
There is no denying that our legal system is broken and is designed to set people up to fail. Not only does our legal system disproportionately hurt people of color, but it stigmatizes and marginalizes anyone who passes through it. Prosecutors want to convict you, even if you're innocent, and most defense & immigration lawyers just want a quick payday without putting in the work. After years of watching people fall through the cracks of a broken system due to poor policies and lazy lawyering—and above all, the toll that the status quo has taken on our most vulnerable and marginalized communities—we decided that enough is enough. We started Gad & Gad Law Offices to raise the bar and establish a new status quo— a legal system that treats clients like actual people instead of like case numbers; that requires lawyers to actually do their jobs; and above all else, where the rights and needs of clients come first—no exceptions.
