“I worked with Ms. Bisbois for several years and worked on multiple trials with her during that time. She is a poised, articulate advocate that can captivate a judge or jury. She has a vast knowledge of the criminal law and trial practice in Minnesota. I have had the opportunity to watch her in trial on several occasions recently and she was masterful in handling a very complex, high profile, difficult case. I have and would again refer close friends and family to Ms. Brisbois.”
“Jill is a highly intelligent and experienced criminal defense attorney.”
