Biography

Cresston Gackle started Cresston Law LLC after clerking for three years for a judge in Hennepin County in the Family, Civil, and Juvenile Divisions. As a clerk, Cresston researched Minnesota and federal law and legal rules, reviewed thousands of pages of filings, drafted hundreds of orders on petitions and motions, and filed thousands of documents. He communicated effectively with the public, including attorneys and self-represented parties, on difficult and emotional issues, and administered a busy court calendar, scheduling hearings and entering events. He also observed how counsel negotiate cases in the Family, Civil, and Juvenile Courts, and how judges and others evaluate facts and law. Before his clerkship, Cresston attended the University of Minnesota Law School where he was a certified student attorney in the Child Advocacy & Juvenile Justice Clinic. In that role, he represented children, grandparents, relatives, and guardians ad litem in delinquency, third-party custody, and child protection cases. In addition to his clinical work, Cresston focused on practical research experiences at the Minnesota Board of Public Defense – Appellate Office, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, and the University of Minnesota Law School. Cresston wrote memos based on research and review of thousands of cases and hundreds of pages of documents; he is credited for research assistance in published law review articles in Yale Law Journal (125 Yale L.J. 2), UC Davis Law Review (50 U.C. Davis L. Rev. 961), and NYU Law Review (92 N.Y.U. L. Rev. 101). Through his clerkship and clinical experience, Cresston developed a commitment to serving those in need in the juvenile and family courts of Minnesota. He observed how strong and steady advocacy can make the difference between a successful resolution of a case and endless conflict. Cresston strives to ensure his clients are heard, their interests are respected and valued, and their cases are resolved favorably. View More ›
