I am a partner at Carson, Clelland & Schreder and have been practicing law for eleven years. I started my law career working in criminal prosecution, which brought me to the Courtroom 3-4 days per week, giving me a unique comfort appearing in front of the bench that many civil practioneers do not gain. My practice has now transitioned and focuses primarily on families and their legal issues.. Working in family law my desire is to advocate for my clients, applying a sensible, pragmatic and cost-effective approach. The goal is for clients to have control of the outcome of their legal matters, which is espcially important in family matters where the legal issue is their homes, children and financial livelihood. However, I am still able to leverage my courtroom experience when settlement isn't possible and Court involvement is required. I regularly participate in mediation with the goal of minimizing legal costs while still obtaining the outcome my clients desire. My primary areas of practice are divorce, custody and parenting time matters, child support, post-decree issues, and paternity matters. I am also a Rule 114 Qualified Neutral and offer family mediation services.. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors or chasing my two children. Having a family of my own, enables me to understand how vital the issues my clients are facing.

I am a family law attorney that helps clients in Minnesota navigate the next step forward in their divorce, custody, paternity, support, harassment (HRO) or domestic violence (OFP) case. I help clients figure out their goals and what would work best for their family within the context of the family law system. I then guide clients in implementing those goals so they can move forward in their lives. I understand how difficult (financially, emotionally, and sometimes even physically) this process can be. I take care of the papers and letters and phone calls that come along with the process so you can focus on moving forward.. I believe that the family law system gives families unique ways to solve their problems whether they are able to do it through the help of neutrals (such as mediators, social and financial early neutral evaluations or parenting consultants) or if they need the help of judges to make decisions.  My experience with each of these tools means that I can help guide you through which ever process works best for you and your family.  Call to set up a complementary consultation today!
