I am committed to helping individuals reach reasonable compromises with their parenting and property issues and guiding them through safe, sane divorces.  My motto is "Children are not a prize to be won."  I believe children need both parents in their life and I work to maximize time with each parent.  I also enjoy working with older women whose husband's are trying to "turn them out to pasture".. On a personal level, I enjoy both my adult children and their families.  I am a devoted Grandmother.

I knew I wanted to be a lawyer since I was in grade school.  All I really knew about lawyers back then, though, was what I saw on L.A. Law.  When I entered college at St. Olaf, a liberal arts school, I did so with an open mind.  If another discipline piqued my interest more than law, I would pursue that.  Nothing ever did.  My constitiutional law classes in college cemented my decision to go to law school.. It was in law school at William Mitchell that I first became aware of family law.  It never occured to me that there was so much law - and so many rules - that applied to people going through a divorce.  Clerking for a Judge right out of law school, I saw first hand how much of an impact the lawyering can have on the results of family law cases.  That inspired me to pursue a career helping people in family law.. Outside of the office, I am a sports nut.  I curl in the winter (think rocks on ice) and I play softball in the summer months.   I am also a music lover.  I enjoy classic rock (especially Lynyrd Skynyrd - I've been to 20 concerts or so) and I play trombone in my church's brass choir.  I also enjoy traveling with my wife and two sons.

Trusted Experience. I have practiced family law for over 19 years and have handled hundreds of family law cases.  I understand that it is crucial to identify needs unique to you and your family so that we can focus on achieving your goals.. While always prepared to take your matter to court, because I understand likely outcomes in court, I can better negotiate a favorable settlement without subjecting you to the stress and expense of litigation.. Honest and Compassionate Guidance. I have a passion for what I do – guiding clients through an unfamiliar process during one of the most difficult times of their lives.   I will work closely with you to insure that you understand each step of the process.  I will focus energy and resources to effectively and efficiently resolve your family law matter..
