Relentless Advocacy. Strategic Preparation. Unmatched Results.
Gad & Gad Law Offices is a Minneapolis-based law firm representing clients in criminal defense, civil rights, medical malpractice, and immigration matters. Led by Attorney Sarah Gad, the firm handles high-stakes cases where a client’s freedom, rights, livelihood, or future is on the line. Sarah is a nationally recognized trial attorney whose work has earned her repeated recognition as a Top Ten Under 40 Attorney by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys. Sarah practices alongside her sister, Attorney Susanne Gad, a former United Nations lawyer with more than a decade of experience in immigration and human rights law. Their backgrounds are different but complementary: Sarah brings trial advocacy, forensic analysis, and high-stakes litigation experience, while Susanne brings extensive experience navigating complex immigration systems and international human rights issues. After years of practicing independently, the Gad sisters joined forces around a shared principle: clients deserve exceptional legal representation, personal attention, and lawyers who are fully invested in the outcome. Every case is approached individually, prepared thoroughly, and pursued with a clear focus on achieving the best result possible for the client.
About the Firm
Gad & Gad Law Offices is a Minneapolis-based law firm representing clients in criminal defense, civil rights, medical malpractice, and immigration matters. Led by attorneys Susanne Gad and Sarah Gad, the firm has built a strong record of success in state, federal, and immigration courts across the country.
We take on complex, high-stakes cases where a client’s liberty, rights, livelihood, or future may be on the line. Because we believe exceptional representation requires time, preparation, and focus, we are selective about the matters we accept. When we take on a case, we commit ourselves fully to understanding the facts, developing the strongest possible strategy, and pursuing the best outcome available for our client.
Our Comprehensive Strategy
One of the defining features of our practice is the depth of attention we bring to every case. We do not rely on shortcuts, recycled arguments, or one-size-fits-all strategies. Every matter is approached with fresh eyes, careful judgment, and a clear understanding of what is at stake for the client.
We examine the record closely, test the evidence, identify weaknesses, and pursue every viable path toward the strongest possible outcome. Our clients receive the level of preparation, loyalty, and determined advocacy we would expect for our own families, because that is the standard we believe every client deserves.
Our Dedication to Clients and Their Families
Another defining feature of our practice is the commitment we make to our clients as people, not simply as cases. We understand that legal problems rarely affect one person alone. They can reshape families, careers, reputations, finances, and futures.
That is why our representation extends beyond the immediate legal issue. We take the time to understand what matters most to each client, communicate directly, and build a strategy around both the case and the life surrounding it. In the courtroom, we advocate with intensity. Outside it, we work to anticipate and minimize the collateral consequences that can follow a criminal charge, immigration matter, civil-rights violation, or serious injury.
Our clients know that they have lawyers who know them, stand beside them, and are fully invested in what happens next.
We built our firm around a simple principle: our clients deserve more than routine representation. They deserve lawyers who know their cases, understand what is at stake, and are prepared to do the work necessary to achieve the best possible result. That means careful preparation, direct communication, strategic decision-making, and a willingness to challenge the government, institutions, and opposing counsel when the facts or the law demand it. We do not treat clients like case numbers, and we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to their problems. Every case is different. Every client has something important at stake. Our job is to understand both, build the strongest position available, and pursue the result that matters most to the person we represent.
