"We were honored to join the team to help bring home a great result for the victims and creditors harmed by Petters."

– Joseph Anthony

“The Lunds case was complex and hard-fought all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court. The court decisions in this case are important not just for our client who was resolute in enforcing her rights, but for all minority shareholders in Minnesota closely-held businesses who are treated unfairly.”

– Janel Dressen

“This case required us to bring simplicity and clarity to legal claims and an estate plan that were neither. After a lengthy-trial, we were pleased when the court issued an order that completely vindicated our client.”

— Dan Hall, Attorney for Trustee

“We are proud that our colleagues and friends call us to help them navigate what are often career- and reputation-threatening allegations. This case was made especially difficult because plaintiff refused to provide relevant information in discovery, misrepresented information to the court, and would not make critical witnesses available for depositions. It was rewarding to overcome the plaintiff’s attempts to manufacture hurdles and to succeed at summary judgment and on appeal in the Eighth Circuit.” 

— Brooke D. Anthony

“Overcoming obstacles is fun. And the defendant tried to put up many obstacles in this case. He probably thought he’d get away with it. That was a mistake. The defendant did not recognize our team’s absolute determination to get justice for our client.”

— Arthur G. Boylan

“I am thrilled that we were able to overwhelmingly demonstrate to the court, on motion, the oppressive treatment of Rich and Yvonne by their business partners/siblings.  No one should have to endure that kind of treatment, but especially when it is your business partner.  Without question, a business divorce was needed in this case, and fortunately, Minnesota law fully supports the remedies requested and the summary judgment relief granted by Judge Gilligan. Business owners should take note of this case and its application to all Minnesota limited liability company owners.” 

– Janel Dressen, attorney for Richard Schreier, Yvonne Clintsman and related entities

“Portillo’s had no good reason to stop paying rent for its Roseville location. The restaurant was never closed due to the pandemic, and Portillo’s expressly agreed to keep paying rent no matter what happened to the business. Convincing the Court to order Portillo’s to pay full rent was a big win.”

— Phil Kaplan, Attorney for 1800 Baxter (Landlord)

“For months before the lawsuit started, Pei Wei had been playing games to try to convince Cedar Point to forfeit hundreds of thousands of dollars in future lease payments. The gamesmanship went too far when Pei Wei stopped paying rent, forcing Cedar Point to start a lawsuit. We fought hard for Cedar Point and we successfully recovered all of the money it was entitled to.”

– Phil Kaplan, Attorney for Cedar Point

“Shareholder and corporate governance litigation is our specialty. Anthony Ostlund was able to successfully and efficiently resolve this case to our clients’ satisfaction by combining our proficient understanding of the law and accomplished experience in this area with a planned and effectively executed strategy.”

— Janel Dressen, Attorney for Directors

“We are very proud of our work for UHS. We were able to successfully direct and manage an alleged $100 million plus complex, multi-million document case more efficiently and more successfully than the large, national firm which was originally retained for over a year to defend this case. More importantly, we were able to provide a timely and successful resolution to our client.”

— Richard Ostlund, Attorney for UHS

“This is a very gratifying result for a deserving client. The testimonial below from the client’s general counsel is both humbling and reaffirming of doing things the right way and treating clients with respect, which are the core of relationships we build at Anthony Ostlund.”

– Rich Ostlund

“It has been very gratifying to see justice served. I stay in touch with my clients. In fact, they are my dentists! This case represented a tremendous accomplishment for the client and we were honored to assist them in achieving their professional and financial goals.”

— Randy Gullickson, Attorney for Park Dental

“Our clients were faced with a bet the company case. If we had lost it is clear that our clients' business would have been destroyed. After a month long jury trial it took the jury less than four hours to deliver its verdict in our clients' favor.”

— Joseph Anthony, Attorney for Park Dental
