I have a simple mission.  Do the best legal work I can, for every person, every single day.

I don't believe in lofty promises or salesman-like tricks.  My mentor taught me to practice law the old fashioned way.  Listen to your client.  Build a case.  Attempt to settle.  And then, if all else fails, work your tail-off to beat the other side.

If you haven't guessed, I can be blunt.  Some people take it personally.  You shouldn't.  My job is to protect your backside.  Anyone who gets in the way will frustrate me -- even if it's you.

I went to school at The University of Iowa Law School.  Finished in a good spot. I have worked for big and small firms.  I only like representing people.

In 2014, 2015, and 2016, I received Client Distinction / Client Rating awards from Martindale-Hubbell.

I am a member of The National Advocates 2016 Top 100 Lawyers in family law.

In 2016 and 2017, I was named one of Minnesota's Top 10 attorneys in client satisfaction by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys.

In 2017, I was recognized as a Distinguished Lawyer by the Expert Network.
