The point being, I'm passionate about defending Minnesota's working class, because Minnesota's working class are my people.. In addition to growing up in Minnesota and reaping the benefits of our world-class public school system, I cut my teeth as a young attorney in notoriously-litigious Los Angeles, CA. If Minnesotans are famous for their niceness, Los Angeles litigation attorneys are just as famous for their ferocity. Having the opportunity to hone my skills as a lawyer with and against some of the world's best attorneys was an invaluable experience, and the lessons I learned there work to my clients' advantage now.

I only practice criminal law and make it a priority to stay up to date on the latest developments in this area to ensure my clients get the best results possible. I am passionate about helping my clients with all aspects of interaction with the criminal justice system. This includes representation through the initial phase of a case in Superior Court, through trial. I also handle post-conviction relief in the form of probation modification, appeals and writs.

I have more than 20 years of experience as a practicing attorney, mostly within the discipline of Family Law.  While I have experience in other areas, such as business formation and civil litigation, I have been handling Family Law cases since the day I was sworn in as a lawyer.  I believe I have the right temperament for this particular area, as it takes a delicate balance of legal acuity, mental toughness, and empathy for my clients.  Too much of any one of these traits and the case can be derailed or the client can feel abandoned.. I am a family man myself.  I have been married for more than 15 years and have three young children.  My career and my family help me keep both in focus, as both are incredibly important to me, but placing focus too much on one, will cause the other to suffer or fade.

I have more than 15 years of experience in legal practice, 12 years of which is within the discipline of family law only. While I have bigger law firm experience, I provide customer service and values of a client-centric, smaller law firm. I also have extensive experience as lead counsel on cases throughout my career; I have led and tried many cases throughout my many years of practice.

I have been practicinng law for for more than 34 years now.  It is my goal to provide excellent legal services at competitive rates to businesses of all sizes.  In doing so I strive to provide a personal approach in helping businesses deal with legal issues that affect their business such: entity formation (i.e. corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships), contracts, leases, commercial disputes, real property, corporate law, partnerships, employment law and trademarks.  My experience covers not only transactional matters (i.e. drafting of contracts, documents, etc.) but litigation in these areas as well.  I believe that by handling both litigation and transactional matters my experience has provided me with valuable insight into any type of a situation that a business may encounter.  My usual procedure with existing clients is to emphasize means to avoid disputes and/or litigation by taking precautionary procedures, as I have found them to be more cost effective.  However, when litigation cannot be avoided, my office is prepared and experienced enough to assist my clients in bringing about a speedy and successful result.. Clients are regularly advised of the status of their matters by our office as they are always provided with copies of documents.  Itemized billing statements are also provided.. I am also very active in the community.  I have served as legal counsel for the Devonshire Division of PALS (Police Activity League Supporters) for the last several years, while previously serving on the Board of Directors of the Chatsworth Chamber of Commerce.  I am also a past president of the Northridge Chamber of Commerce and a past president of my local Optimist Club (a service organization) in which I am still active.  Lastly, I am also quite active in my church, serving on various committees and leadership positions, including previously serving on the board of a camp and conference center supported by my church.

I have been an attorney for over 30 years. During my career, I have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in various employment, real estate and business disputes. I have had tremendous success in both jury trials and arbitrations. Because my firm is small, I can give each case the attention it deserves so that the client has the best chance of achieving victory at trial. I never forget that your case is the most important case to you. I also know that my clients do not want to be involved in litigation because it takes away time and resources that should be devoted to running and growing a business. That is why I provide my clients day-to-day advice to ensure their compliance with state and federal laws and to develop risk management programs. And if one of my clients is involved in litigation, I work diligently to resolve the case without compromising the client's interests and goals. Because my opponents know that I have the experience to win at trial, I can achieve excellent settlement results for my clients. I have extensive training and experience in negotiation and settlement techniques. Not only do I use these skills to help my clients, but I also act as a private mediator, helping others settle disputes. I mediate all types of cases including real estate disputes, business disputes and personal injury case.. I have been named to the Southern California Super Lawyers list as one of the top attorneys in Southern California every year since 2013. I was also nominated for a 2012 Trusted Advisor Award by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal. I was one of only 40 attorneys in the entire San Fernando Valley who were nominated. I have also been recognized by the Los Angeles Superior Court for my volunteer services as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Neutral. I am a member of the State Bar of California and I am also licensed to practice in the United States District Court, Central District.

I have always felt that it is MY job to worry the claim or lawsuit from start to finish.  My clients can be concerned about, and interested in their claim or lawsuit, but the worry is MY job.  This makes for the best partnership between lawyer and client, and is one of the most important things a lawyer can give to a client.. Over the course of almost 30 years as a lawyer, I have become not just an advocate, but also a counselor and friend to many of my clients.  Our firm not only gives our clients the best, experienced representation, but also,a chance to recover what "the system" has taken away.

I am proud to have protected those in need and helped to right the wrong that my clients have suffered over these past 21 years. Iam grateful to have been a Super Lawyer every year for 11 years and humbled to have been nominated as a Trial lawyer of the year.
