R. Stephen Tillitt
The son of a prominent attorney in Alexandria, Minnesota, Steve was drawn to Gislason & Hunter because it combines large firm capabilities with small town friendships and values. Despite his easygoing demeanor, Steve is a fierce competitor and tireless champion for his clients. One of his satisfied clients has Steve's photograph hanging in his living room on a bronze plaque reading, First Class Lawyer.
Steve handles a broad range of civil matters, including personal injury, products liability, premises liability, commercial and business disputes and construction cases. Certified as a civil trial specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association, Steve typically tries several cases before juries every year and has taken over 60 jury trials to verdict. He is also active in alternative dispute resolution, both as an advocate and as a neutral mediator and arbitrator.
