I was born in Washington, D.C., raised in St. Paul and my father was an Attorney.  I served in the U.S. Air Force, graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1972, and received my law degree in 1977 from Hamline University.. I have 37 years of experience in areas such as:

I specialize in Family Law, handling cases, including custody, spousal maintenance, child support, and property division.. Family law issues are as personal as law gets, and I use a personal approach with my clients. I want to make sure they feel as knowledgeable and prepared as possible for their case so there is a sense of ownership.

I help people navigate through the process of dealing with insurance companies after unfortunate circumstances and resulting injuries. I have over 20 years of practical legal experience, keen intuition, and an assertive approach to resolving issues. I understand that not everyone is familiar with the legal process, so I take the extra time to answer questions and ensure that my clients feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.. My law partner Lisa Cyr and I wanted to create a firm that was different. Our focus is to help real people with real problems and manage expectations throughout the process.

I have known from a very young age that I wanted to be a lawyer.  I am happy to say that being a criminal defense lawyer is my dream job.  In the time I have been a lawyer, I know that I have made a difference for each of my clients.. I grew up in the Twin Cities and have a passion for helping people in my community.

I have been practicing law in Minnesota State and Federal courts for over 29 years. I provide my clients practical advice with an eye toward finding a cost effective and acceptable solution to their legal issues.. I realize that contacting a lawyer can be a stressful time in your life fraught with uncertainty as to how the process will go, what to expect and how much it will cost. I endeavor to take the mystery out of hiring an attorney by providing you a realistic estimate of the cost of the legal services you need and the potential outcomes based upon the choices you make.. My practice areas include real property law, landlord/tenant disputes, litigation, administrative law, lien foreclosures, construction law, contracts, collections, probate, wills and trusts.. I contribute where I can to our community and my roots run deep here in Minnesota.. I am originally from St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Growing up in Minnesota, I took every opportunity to 'go north' and enjoy our great outdoors going many times to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I even spent one cherished summer at the end of the Sawbill Trail working for an outfitter.. My love for the outdoors expanded from canoe country to backpacking in the Canadian Rockies and the Canadian Coastal Range. It should be no surprise then that I attended college at Colorado State University to be closer to the mountains and the out of doors. I came back to Minnesota to attend law school and have remained here, again enjoying all that Minnesota has to offer, from biking trails to the theater, to great music, to opportunities to play ice hockey and cross country ski.

I draw upon experience to counsel clients on the many legal needs. I am networked with attorneys and professionals throughout the nation for your legal needs.

I assist clients with comprehensive estate planning and business planning in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, which includes sophisticated wealth preservation, transfer, and asset protection techniques. I work with many business owners and highly compensated executives, as well as many farm families. As a trust, estate, and business lawyer, a primary focus is tax minimization and the transition of family wealth to the next generation. I also regularly advise clients on making gifts to charitable organizations, and also count non-profit corporations among my clients.I regularly advise and assist clients with business transactions, including business entity formation, business succession planning and sales of businesses. Whether representing the buyer of a business or the seller, I am keenly aware of the pros and cons of both stock sales and asset sales, and have worked on a variety of SBA financed deals.

I am one of the founding partners North Star Law Group. I am the head of the Criminal Defense practice group, where we represent clients facing criminal charges throughout the State of Minnesota, including but not limited to, DUIs, Assaults, Domestic Assaults, Thefts, Shoplifting, Weapons Charges, Criminal Vehicular Operation, Damage to Property, Drug Crimes, Murder, various sex crimes, Misdemeanors, Gross Misdemeanors, Felonies, Traffic Violations, Threats of Violence, Probation Violations, and Appeals. Beyond that, we specialize in obtaining expungements for deserving clients throughout the State, including the often difficult-to-achieve expungements of DWI records.. The North Star Criminal Defense approach is based on the singular belief that just because a person is charged with a crime does not make them a criminal. Good people can make mistakes that lead them to the criminal justice system. Our defense of each client is threefold: (1) develop a personalized legal strategy based on the big picture for each client, including understanding both the criminal and collateral consequences that could come from the criminal case; (2) we are Not Always Minnesota Nice when fighting for our clients - we know when to negotiate, when to fight, and how to utilize both to achieve the just result for the client; and (3) we are prepared to take the case to trial if necessary, where our trial skills shine. The North Star Criminal Defense team is stacking trial win after trial win, and on complicated, challenging cases, including a nine-count attempted murder case where the self-defense theory prevailed.. This individualized approach is what led to the North Star Law Group taking form. The Law Group overall assists clients in most any legal needs, including business formation, litigation, and the newly formed legalized cannabis counsel. We strive to take advantage of technology to create greater efficiencies in our representation that yields better and faster results, plus lower costs for our clients. We have a unique firm structure that is designed to put the client first and not line the attorneys' pockets. And we have built a firm culture where we are hard-working, driven, and humble - even though we thrive in achieving the results needed for our clients. We are confident that we can provide the legal services you need.

I am engaged in the general practice of all aspects of civil litigation with a primary focus on employment law litigation in federal and state courts, including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, vicarious liability, whistleblower claims, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with business claims, and contractual disputes.I am admitted to practice in the State of Minnesota and am a Qualified Neutral in Civil Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Burger Inn of Court and an active member of the Minnesota State and Ramsey County Bar Associations.  I am a Super Lawyer in Employment and Labor law.  Prior to earning my law degree, I was a Buyer for Target Corporation responsible for the development, cost negotiations, and overall financial performance of my category assortments nationwide.

I am an active part of the metro area community.  I am involved in professional and personal organizations in my community.  I zealously represent my clients in the courtroom.  Outside of court I participate in such league activities as pool and trap.  I am involved in my church and my community.  I work to help people through their family law issues which tend to be some of the most difficult times in a client's life.

I am a neighborhood attorney who works to meet the needs of everyday people. Most of my practice is devoted to criminal law, but I also handle the tenant-side of landlord/tenant disputes, post-decree family law matters (i.e. child custody modifications), Harrassment Restraining Orders and Orders for Protection, and especially enjoy what my colleagues call "weird law," which is to say cases the likes of which they've never heard of before and which present a unique intellectual challenge under the law. I have successfully taken felonies, child custody disputes, and much more to trial.  Whenever possible I work on a flat-fee or contingency basis. Quite simply, I do not need to take food off your table to put it on mine and the goal of my practice is to make a living, not a killing. Please don't hesistate to contact me. I always offer a free consult.   Before becoming a lawyer, I worked as a researcher and editorial assistant at Harper's Magazine in New York City and for a rare book dealer in Maine.
