We take the time to care about our clients. Family law cases are difficult because they relate to our most emotional issues of children and relationships. In times of high emotion a person needs an attorney who will not become embroiled into the client's emotions.. We give the client the help and advice he or she needs that acknowledges the upsetting facts without being dominated by them. We use caution and detailed business analysis to advise you if the settlement you are considering is fair or if you could do better in court.. Although most of our cases settle, if they do not, we are ready to force the issue with a trial. We can help you see to it that life after divorce is going to be stable for your children, safe for yourself and smart financially. You can take comfort in knowing that we have a network of other professionals to assure that you have the needed professionals around you at the time you need them.

I am a family law attorney located in Wayzata, Minnesota.  I understand that most people going through the court process for family matters will have a continuing relationship with the other party.  I work with my clients to achieve the best results possible without destroying their relationship with the other party.  If matters are not able to be resolved outside of court, I have the experience to be able to handle high level litigation through trial. My practice focuses on family law matters including divorce, custody, parenting time, child support, paternity, third party custody, and grandparent visitation.
