I am an experienced family lawyer practicing in Wayzata, Minnesota.  In my fourteen years of practice, I had a lot of success inside the courtroom, from successfully arguing high net worth asset division, custody and spousal maintenance cases, to succeeding in the Minnesota Court of Appeals.   However, often my greatest successes happen when I can help my client negotiate a fair and final divorce settlement early in the case, saving them time, money and stress.    I work hard to educate my clients about the road ahead, and do my best at the beginning of representation to predict likely outcomes.  Together we look to figure out ways to make the case less contentious at the outset for the benefit of the parties, and when necessary, the children.
