Minnesota attorney Bridget Landry began practicing domestic relations, in order to help families. Given that people involved in divorce and custody cases are going through extraordinarily difficult times, Ms. Landry takes time to get to know her clients, so she can relate to them.. “Not only do they need a good attorney, but they need a person who can be there for them, to talk with them, and to help them through this stressful time in their lives,” she said. “I feel like this gives me an opportunity to better understand my clients and better represent them.”

In 2001 I began practicing family law in outstate Minnesota where I learned that family values are universal, and that regardless of the conflict we are presented with in family law matters, at the core, we are all motivated by a desire to ensure that our loved ones are cared for and provided for. I am reminded of this each time I represent a client in a family dispute, and more often than not, toward a permanent and workable resolution. I have been blessed by having had the opportunity to represent families in thousands of disputes of all varieties.  I would be honored to speak with you about your situation and how I might help.

I knew I wanted to be a lawyer since I was in grade school.  All I really knew about lawyers back then, though, was what I saw on L.A. Law.  When I entered college at St. Olaf, a liberal arts school, I did so with an open mind.  If another discipline piqued my interest more than law, I would pursue that.  Nothing ever did.  My constitiutional law classes in college cemented my decision to go to law school.. It was in law school at William Mitchell that I first became aware of family law.  It never occured to me that there was so much law - and so many rules - that applied to people going through a divorce.  Clerking for a Judge right out of law school, I saw first hand how much of an impact the lawyering can have on the results of family law cases.  That inspired me to pursue a career helping people in family law.. Outside of the office, I am a sports nut.  I curl in the winter (think rocks on ice) and I play softball in the summer months.   I am also a music lover.  I enjoy classic rock (especially Lynyrd Skynyrd - I've been to 20 concerts or so) and I play trombone in my church's brass choir.  I also enjoy traveling with my wife and two sons.

I have practiced family law in the Twin Cities area for over 30 years, and recently started a law firm with my daughter Madeline, a 2018 graduate of Mitchell Hamline School of Law. We are located at the Collaborative Law Alliance in Edina, Minnesota and serve clients throughout the state of Minnesota.. Let our family protect yours at this difficult time in your life.

Edina divorce attorney Niecie M. Strand enjoys individually working with people going through life transitions. That is what drew her to family law.. “While family law matters are stressful and difficult proceedings, it is important to understand that most change is that way,” Ms. Strand said. “Being able to help individuals navigate these changes and answer their questions is incredibly rewarding.”. Ms. Strand is extremely patient and able to stay calm through adversity. That comes in handy as family law matters are among the most difficult legal proceedings and individual can go through.. “I find it is helpful for my clients that I am able to stay calm when things get especially tough,” Ms. Strand said.. There are ups and downs with just just about every divorce case. Despite all those twists and turns, Ms. Strand never loses sight of what she is fighting for.. “It helps to take a deep breath,” Ms. Strand said. “This will likely get more difficult before it gets better. Keep your focus on the goal and let’s get there together.”. Prior to joining Cordell & Cordell, Ms. Strand worked in a general practice firm as a paralegal and attorney. Her primary areas of practice included family law, estate planning, and probate.

Edina divorce attorney Kelsey B. Daniels has dedicated her practice to family law because the work allows her the opportunity to assist others with legal issues that are of central importance in their lives.. “Whether I am advocating for my client to have more parenting time with his children or fighting for equitable division of assets through a divorce, my focus remains bettering the lives of my clients,” Ms. Daniels said.. Ms. Daniels regularly utilizes her communication skills in practice, which assists her in understanding her client’s perspectives and arguing persuasively with opposing counsel or before the court.. “If I had to tell my client one thing about the process in the first meeting, I would tell them that family law matters can be stressful and consuming,” she said. “Self-care, asking questions, and being open to receiving new information is important. I would tell a client that I am a strong advocate that will provide candid advice.”

Edina divorce attorney Gregory N. Bittle decided to focus on family law, because of his desire to help others in their time of need.. “It afforded me the opportunity to allow my experience to be of maximum service to those in need of legal help, providing meaningful help to individuals and families during some of their most difficult times,” Mr. Bittle said.. “We are in this together.”. Prior to joining Cordell & Cordell, Mr. Bittle practiced family law and personal injury litigation.
