As an attorney who comes from a long line of attorneys and judges I was raised to practice law the right way. After all, in Roman times, the practice of law was a healing profession much like doctors are today. Unfortunately, many people do not look at the legal profession in that way.. As a young boy I can remember sitting next to my grandfather and discussing cases in which he had a huge impact on people's lives and the joy that it gave him to be able to help people. As he devoted his life to serving the public, I devote my life to serving you.. Although I started my career in a general practice, after a year and a half I decided that I wanted to focus more on Plaintiff's Personal Injury matters and took a job with one of Minnesota's preeminent Plaintiff's Personal Injury lawyers. During my time with that attorney not only did I learn the ins and outs of Minnesota's No-Fault law as well as other Personal Injury law, I learned how to effectively, aggressively and passionately advocate on behalf of my clients.. I have seen first hand how to obtain great results for clients. We have all heard that the lawyer you choose makes a difference and that is absolutely true! You can choose one of the vast majority of lawyers who just look at you as a paycheck or you can choose the select few of us who look at you as a human being, as a person who is hurting and needs compassion!
