Paul E. Darsow is a litigation attorney with approximately 25 years of experience handling cases
of varied complexity before state and federal courts in Minnesota and other
States. As a civil appellate lawyer who also tries cases, Paul’s combined skill
set gives clients an edge in any legal dispute.

Three core principles bestdescribe Paul’s work as an attorney: clarity, purpose, and results. Paul brings
clarity to his cases by helping clients to understand their legal problem, to
develop realistic and focused goals, and to prepare and execute an efficient
and cost-effective plan for solving their legal problems. He litigates with
purpose by developing and implementing a case-specific litigation plan best
suited to the client’s needs and objectives. Paul achieves results by working
hard to protect his client’s interests ethically, legally, and responsibly, whether
the case ends in a mediated settlement, a trial, or an appeal.
