If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that I would become a personal injury attorney, I would have laughed.  But here I am – and I absolutely love my job.  Why? Because I love the people, I love the practice, and I take great pride in what I do.. I decided to become a lawyer because I wanted to fight for people—individuals—in a complex legal system that too often favors those who can afford to play the game. My first legal job was in a public defenders’ office, where there was unfortunately never a short supply of clients that desperately needed my help. What I learned there was that sometimes the most empowering thing for clients was to simply have someone take the time and listen to their problems.. Navigating the legal system and fighting insurance companies can be daunting. When people are injured in an accident or by a defective product they can feel lost and unsure of what steps to take. Because I come from a rural background where lawyers are few and far between, I know the idea of talking with a lawyer can frankly be a bit intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be! As a lawyer I seek to serve as a guide for these people and their families, easing the burden of what can be the most difficult period in a person’s life.. PRACTICE. At OFT Law, I’ve had the opportunity to work on behalf of injured or sickened clients in a wide variety of personal injury cases. Not only is it interesting, but it is also extremely rewarding.  I am inspired by how transformative not only the compensation that I am able to help recover, but also the closure that making a claim against a wrongdoer provides, can be in bettering the lives of clients.. The strategies involved in litigating these cases are as varied as the injuries themselves, something I find exhilarating. I am motivated by the problem solving aspect of law, unraveling the complexity of injury cases and advocating for those who need it most.. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in psychology in 2012, and obtained my J.D. cum laude from the University of St. Thomas Law School in 2015.. While in law school, I argued before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of a man whose civil lawsuit against several probation officers alleging he was wrongfully incarcerated for several months was dismissed at the lower court. Fortunately for our client, we prevailed in that appeal—and I felt reassured and proud knowing that taking his case to the next level helped him continue in his pursuit of justice and compensation.. That drive carries forward into my work at OFT Law, because we are a law firm that takes great pride in the work we do for clients. What makes OFT different from other personal injury firms is the collaborative nature of our practice, weaving together the individual expertise of each attorney to make sure injured clients and their families get the best representation possible.

I'm an attorney who represents lenders in documenting and closing commercial loans, loan workouts, collections, and foreclosures. I approach workout and collection files with a combination of legal and business advice and common sense that has been a proven solution for minimizing any losses and maximizing return. I have also successfully represented debtors negotiating loan workouts with lenders. This experience has given me unique insight into the thought processes on both sides of the equation, which in turn has bolstered my ability to achieve the best result possible. In addition to representing lenders and the occasional borrower, I have significant experience representing real estate investors, businesses, developers, landlords, and tenants in the acquisition, development, leasing, and financing of commercial real estate. In these matters, my philosophy doesn't change: minimize the client's risk and exposure, and put the client in a position to maximize the return on investment.

I work with a number of private and public companies, assisting clients with formation, debt and equity financing, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. I have represented buyers, sellers and institutional investors in many different types of public and private M&A transactions. I have represented strategic and private equity clients in scores of M&A transactions with aggregate deal values totaling billions of dollars. For almost a decade, I have represented private equity investors in the purchase, sale, refinancing and restructuring of their portfolio companies. I have accumulated extensive experience dealing with the many complex structuring, financing, securities and tax issues that arise in these portfolio company transactions. In addition to my transactional work for clients, I am general corporate counsel for many companies. In that capacity, I work with clients to address their full range of legal needs.. Prior to attending law school, I served as a manager for an industrial supply company in Chicago. I am the current president of the Minnesota Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth, which is the premier global association for professionals involved in corporate growth, corporate development, and mergers and acquisitions for mid to large companies.

I have personally represented hundreds of individuals charged with a crime in the State of Minnesota.  My mission from Day 1 has been Results.  I do everything I can to make sure that my clients are not subjected to a criminal record, jail or prison time, license withdrawals, asset seizures, and the like.. I have over 15 years in private practice as a criminal defense lawyer, but am still able to keep my fees relatively low because I spend few dollars on advertising, which is not all that common in the industry.  I attended the University of Minnesota with a degree in Political Science making the Dean's List multiple times.  I obtained my law degree from Hamline University, and graduated near the top 20% of my class.  I have spent time teaching law classes at a local college, and am a current member of the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  I am also the Attorney Speaker at the Hennepin County 1-day DWI Program in Bloomington and Minneapolis.. My strengths as a lawyer are my aggressive style, my ability to focus on the important issues in the courtroom, and my research and writing abilities.  In fact, other very experienced attorneys often consult my firm with regard to procedural and constitutional issues in their cases.  For a free consultation, feel free to contact anytime, day or night.

I have extensive, nationwide, experience in truck crash cases, having handled trucking cases in fifteen different states. I represent people who have been catastrophically injured (or the families of those who’ve been killed) as a result of the negligence of truck drivers and trucking companies. I was named a Minnesota “Attorney of the Year” by Minnesota Lawyer, a legal publication, for a truck-accident wrongful death case. In 2014 alone, I recovered over $16 million for my clients in accident cases, including separate cases of over $4 million and $5 million.

I have dedicated my law practice exlucsively to all areas of US immigration and nationality law - permanent residency, naturalization, petitions for family members, removal (deportation) defense, consular processing, employment-based immigration (both permanent and nonimmigrant), and asylum. In particular, I thoroughly enjoy working with LGBT persons seeking to navigate the US immigration system. US immigration law can be confusing and perplexing. I always strive to work clocsely with clients to carefully prepare their case.

i have been committed to defending the rights of people charged with a crime for over 18 years.  I have a reputation for excellence in the area of criminal defense, defined by an aggressive and innovative approach to the interpretation of various criminal laws in the state of Minnesota.  I provide a service to my clients that not only involves a vigorous defense but also gives personal attention and compassion.
