Gilbert Law PLLC · White Bear Lake

Heather M. Gilbert

Firm websiteLawyer ID in OLPR search: 0392838

Draft for human review. This entry came from AI research on the firm's site and the OLPR search. No person has reviewed it, and we have not spoken with this attorney or firm. Being listed is not a recommendation.

At a glance

What we could and couldn’t confirm

This lists what the official search showed and what we did not read. It does not score or compare lawyers. Each item is detailed, with its source and date, further down.

Read in the official OLPR search

  • Authorized to practice in Minnesota: Yes. Admitted 05/11/2012.
  • Public decision issued: No. That is this one search field; the official record below has the wording.
  • Firm profile matches the OLPR row: strong. That counts how many details agree. It is not a finding about the lawyer.

The firm says, not checked another way

  • What the firm says about the first meeting.
  • Access and language support the firm describes.

Not confirmed

  • Fees. We did not find them on the pages we read.
  • The attorney registration record. The state’s search asks for a reCAPTCHA check, so we did not read it.
  • Whether the firm’s statements are current, or true for your matter.
  • Skill, results, responsiveness or fit. A website and a public record cannot show these.

Before you call

Questions to ask Heather’s office

Built from what this firm’s own pages say and what we could not find. The same list is not used for every firm.

  1. Your website describes the fee as: “Not found on the pages we read.” Does that cover my situation, and what would be extra?
  2. Your website says: “By appointment, virtual option listed.” Is that still current, and how long is the meeting?
  3. Who at Gilbert Law PLLC will do the work, and who will I hear from?
  4. Will you give me the fee in writing before I decide?
  5. What have you seen in situations like mine that I should plan for?

The pages we read did not state: MSBA Certified Specialist status; ACTEC fellowship; Fee and first-meeting terms. Ask if these matter to you.

Official record

Official record

  • Registration system

    Not checked. The attorney registration search asks for a reCAPTCHA check before showing results, so we did not read this record. Please look it up yourself. Lawyer ID 0392838, as shown in the OLPR search, should find this record.
  • Authorization, as shown in the OLPR search

    The OLPR lawyer search row for HEATHER MARIE GILBERT (St. Paul) shows "Authorized to practice in MN?" as YES and a date admitted to the Minnesota bar of 05/11/2012.

    Official record checked

    olpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending

    Limits: This is the OLPR search, not the registration system. Matched by name; the OLPR row lists St. Paul while the firm lists White Bear Lake as its mailing address. Search by name or Lawyer ID to see the current row; results have no permanent link.

  • Does the firm profile match the OLPR row? Strong match

    Lawyer ID 0392838 returns one OLPR row: GILBERT, HEATHER MARIE, admitted 05/11/2012, St. Paul. The firm profile gives a 2012 J.D. and Minnesota admission in 2012, and the middle initial M. The firm lists White Bear Lake as its address.

    Official record checked

    olpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending

    Limits: Admission year and middle initial agree. The city differs: OLPR shows St. Paul and the firm shows White Bear Lake. Ask the office which address is current. The OLPR row was read by Lawyer ID in the lawyersearch.mncourts.gov search that OLPR links to; results have no permanent link. The firm-profile details are the firm's own statements. Strong, partial and unresolved describe how many independent details agree. They are not a finding about the lawyer.

  • Public discipline, as shown in the OLPR search

    The OLPR lawyer search row for HEATHER MARIE GILBERT (St. Paul) shows "Public decision issued?" as NO.

    Official record checked

    olpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending

    Limits: OLPR states that only public matters are available. Private discipline, dismissed complaints and pending complaints are not shown. This says nothing about skill or suitability. Matched by name; the OLPR row lists St. Paul while the firm lists White Bear Lake as its mailing address.
