Greg’s practice and legal skill set developed and expanded with the needs of his clients – businesses of all sizes, from sole proprietorships to large insurance companies.  Clients often want a single lawyer on “speed dial” to troubleshoot their legal questions – on whatever topic – as they arise.  They want their lawyer to answer the phone and respond to emails promptly.  Greg does answer his own phone – sometimes on the first ring – and he prides himself on being responsive.  Clients know their lawyers have other clients, but they should never feel that the other clients are in the way.Though he began his career as a large case litigator and continues to enjoy the intensity of courtroom work, early on Greg found it equally rewarding to advise businesses about how to stay out of court.  Since the late 1990s, Greg has served as outside General Counsel for many companies, advising them on everything from their initial business formation and startup issues to their ultimate sale, dissolution or merger – “sunrise to sunset.”  Along the way, he handles their legal issues of almost every kind, including in the areas of employment (drafting and enforcement of employment contracts and non-competes, employment law compliance audits, discrimination charges), customer and vendor contracts and disputes, insurance coverage advice, regulatory matters, account collection and litigation of all sorts.  Greg’s practice illustrates the old saying that “The law is a seamless web.” Greg is active in the legal community, serving as Chair of, and frequent contributor to, the Hennepin County Bar Association’s flagship magazine, Hennepin Lawyer.  He co-chairs the HCBA Torts and Insurance Section as well.  He is active in his community, chairing and serving as officer of various local boards.  His hobbies include photography and performing in triathlons.

For me its about helping people at a bad time in their lives.   I work hard for my clients to explain the issues, the risks and be creative about possible solutions to my client's challenges and problems.    I was not always an attorney and worked as an engineer before I  went to night law school while I worked full time.   I really think this gives me a different perspective from most attorneys when dealing with complex issues.

Born and raised in Minnesota.  I follow the age old golden rule, by treating others as I wish to be treated, specifically by showing others respect and providing constructive criticism when necessary.

Every day, I wake up excited to help my community. With a background as diverse as my clients, I bring a unique perspective to my practice that many lawyers can’t match. Having navigated my own divorce and early-life legal challenges, I deeply relate to my clients’ struggles and fight for their rights with unmatched empathy and dedication.Growing up in St. Paul, I always wanted to make a difference. I joined the Navy a week after high school, serving as a nuclear engineer. My military service taught me responsibility and a strong commitment to excellence. I take great pride in serving my country and my community.

Every day I see good people who are struggling financially. So many clients come to me after struggling, physically and emotionally, to control their debt for several months or even for several years. During the past eight years, I have made it my mission to help consumers and businesses that are facing a debt crisis to gain control of their finances and to start on a path to a financially secure future. Whether a client comes to me for help resolving overwhelming debt, getting relief from a bank levy or wage garnishment, or is looking for a financial fresh start, I promise to advise the client of his or her best options to resolve the issue and to achieve the client’s goal in a manner that is professional, compassionate and cost-efficient. I understand that bankruptcy and debt negotiation can be scary, but I can help improve your financial situation, guide you throughout the entire process, and help you achieve a financial fresh start.
