Originally from North Dakota, I moved to the Twin Cities to attend college. After graduating and prior to law school I worked and lived in Shanghai, China where I taught a variety of subjects at the local international schools. In addition to my primary practice areas, I have a strong background in Employment Law, Employee Benefits, Health Law, and Insurance. Because my clients rarely have just one legal issue, it is important to be well-versed in these closely-related fields. In my spare time I enjoy archery, travel, and sporting events.

Jerry Sisk has been handling and trying workers' compensation cases since 2003.  While workers' compensation insurers attempt to delay or avoid paying owed benefits to injured workers, Jerry has devoted his career to making sure his clients receive the compensation they deserve.. Earlier in his career, Jerry represented insurance companies so he knows first-hand how these companies defend against lawsuits by manipulating the legal system in their favor.  He knows what it takes to prove entitlement to benefits.  Because insurance companies have infinite dollars to fight your case they can hire expensive defense lawyers and investigators to assist in the denial of your benefits. Moreover, they can send you to their doctors to obtain medical reports which potentially can be used against you during your case.  Jerry understands this and works diligently to make sure that all the necessary steps are taken to win at trial.. Jerry grew up in Minnesota and spent all but his college years living in the Twin Cities.  When he was not participating in sports at Wayzata High School, he would be busy “flipping burgers” at his family restaurant.  In college, Jerry clerked for former Representative Jim Ramstad in Washington, D.C.   Jerry is a graduate of the prestigious James Madison College at Michigan State University and the University of Minnesota Law School.. Jerry is a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association, Minnesota Association of Justice, and Anoka County Bar Association. He is also currently the Treasurer for the Anoka County Bar Association.  He is a contributor to the Minnesota Association of Justice Trial magazine, where he is published.  He is frequent presenter throughout the State of Minnesota on various workers' compensation topics.. Jerry, his wife, and three kids reside in Blaine, Minnesota.  When he is not chasing his kids around the house and coaching their activities, he enjoys snowboarding, woodworking, bicycling, and doing anything outdoors.. Jerry prides himself on representing members of the Minnesota workforce who have been injured on the job and need ethical, responsive, and zealous representation.  No commericals, no highway billboards - just great lawyering.

I am married to a wonderful woman and we have one child.  We adopted her from Guatemala and she is the love of our life.  I grew up in Coon Rapids, MN, went to college at St. John's (MN) and law school at William Mitchell.  I started out in my father's firm 35 years ago and did a variety of types of law for a few years.  I got involved in Social security law in 1995 and have been practicing exclusively in that since then.  It is the most rewarding job I have ever had.  We don't take every case that comes to us.  In fact, we turn down over 75% of those who contact us.  Many people don't understand what qualifies for social security disability.  We take cases where we believe the person has a disabling condition.  As a result, we end up helping those that truly need and deserve to recieve benefits.  Over the years, i have met some truly incredible people.  Unfortunately, I have also heard some incredibly sad stories.  One that I have never forgotten is when a high school age young man stopped me before I went in to a hearing with and for his father.  He told me I had to win because he (the teenager) could no longer handle being the sole support for his mom (who was disabled) and his dad.  He just wanted to be able to go back to school.  We won the case and his father, who was in his 50's hugged me with tears in his eyes.  It is a moment that defines what we do and one i will nevver forget.  In my free time I love to hunt and fish.  I used to play soccer and was captain of my college team.  I have been president of the Anoka County bar Association, I have served on the Judicare board of dirictors for over 20 years helping to provide free and low cost representation to low income families in Anoka County.  I am currently co-chair of the social security section of the Minnesota bar association.  My daughter is an amazing artist and my wife is dedicated to helping homeless people regain their dignity and find safe shelter.  I am one of the lucky ones.  I had a wonderful family growing up, I have a wonderful wife and daughter.  I have a job I love and one in which I can help change the lives of people who truly deserve it.
