Although many lawyers will take on your personal injury claim if you ask them, few have the kind of experience I have. Besides working on serious accident cases my entire career, I’ve also successfully handled cases involving business disputes, employment law matters, family law cases, trademark claims, consumer protection cases, fair debt collection cases, land use cases, insurance disputes, probate matters, DNR enforcement actions, and criminal and traffic cases. If you need a lawyer to help you with a legal dispute, there’s a good chance I’ve handled something like it.. I opened my own law firm in 2019 so that I could serve my clients more effectively. My personal injury practice is now focused exclusively on obtaining the best possible recoveries for victims of serious accidents. I also continue helping clients in areas where my experience counts, including business disputes, employment claims, and family law matters. Thanks to the power of modern technology, I’m working more closely with my clients than ever before.
