David D. Alsop

• Litigation
• Medical Malpractice

Shortly after our office in Minneapolis opened, David Alsop came to Gislason & Hunter. He wanted to practice in the firm where his father had been a partner. A native of New Ulm, David has successfully counseled clients with a broad range of concerns, and tried over 170 cases to conclusion. This experience has taught him to listen carefully, think creatively, and act decisively to achieve favorable resolutions. David has been selected as one of Minnesota Super Lawyers for over twelve years by the Minnesota Journal of Law and Politics. In 1995 David was admitted as a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates. In addition, in 2005 David was selected as only one of sixty personal injury lawyers in Minnesota for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America by Woodward and White. In 2008, David was inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers.

David practices defense law in all areas of civil litigation and personal injury, in state and federal courts. He has extensive experience in malpractice defense for hospitals, physicians and other medical providers, and frequently speaks to health care professionals on medical negligence and the prevention of malpractice suits.

In addition to being a partner with the firm, David serves on its Executive Committee.
