It seems like every year I say this 2 or 3 times. Here's a little update on what I did this year: 1. Settled two personal injury cases for over $150,000 each 2. Settled a complex commercial litigation for nearly $1,000,000 3. Formed 7 new entities for clients 4. Appeared in conciliation court 9 times. This is just a very efficient way to get sizable disputes settled. 5. Initiated 19 lawsuits. Most of these being in Washington, Ramsey, and Hennepin counties. 6. Defended 6 licensees against regulatory investigations. 7. Continued with outside general counsel work. And, probably the best step I took all year was to block off Thursday's starting at 3 for golf league at [Keller Golf Course](https://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/parks-recreation/golf/golf-courses/keller-golf-course) in Maplewood. I think having that 1 thing to look forward to and having to work around really helps keep a focus on keeps me fresh. I hope you enjoy Labor Day and you are able to do those things that keep you fresh. Only 25% of the year left to go! - [court](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/court), - [golf](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/golf), - [law](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/law), - [licensee](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/licensee), - [outside counsel](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/outside-counsel), - [personal injury](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/personal-injury), - [summer](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/summer) ![Dan Gallatin](https://www.gallatin-law.com/hubfs/assets-mjfw/site%20images/Dans-Desk.jpg) ## [Dan Gallatin](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/author/dan-gallatin) Dan is a lifelong resident of Minnesota.
