I am married to a wonderful woman and we have one child. We adopted her from Guatemala and she is the love of our life. I grew up in Coon Rapids, MN, went to college at St. John's (MN) and law school at William Mitchell. I started out in my father's firm 35 years ago and did a variety of types of law for a few years. I got involved in Social security law in 1995 and have been practicing exclusively in that since then. It is the most rewarding job I have ever had. We don't take every case that comes to us. In fact, we turn down over 75% of those who contact us. Many people don't understand what qualifies for social security disability. We take cases where we believe the person has a disabling condition. As a result, we end up helping those that truly need and deserve to recieve benefits. Over the years, i have met some truly incredible people. Unfortunately, I have also heard some incredibly sad stories. One that I have never forgotten is when a high school age young man stopped me before I went in to a hearing with and for his father. He told me I had to win because he (the teenager) could no longer handle being the sole support for his mom (who was disabled) and his dad. He just wanted to be able to go back to school. We won the case and his father, who was in his 50's hugged me with tears in his eyes. It is a moment that defines what we do and one i will nevver forget. In my free time I love to hunt and fish. I used to play soccer and was captain of my college team. I have been president of the Anoka County bar Association, I have served on the Judicare board of dirictors for over 20 years helping to provide free and low cost representation to low income families in Anoka County. I am currently co-chair of the social security section of the Minnesota bar association. My daughter is an amazing artist and my wife is dedicated to helping homeless people regain their dignity and find safe shelter. I am one of the lucky ones. I had a wonderful family growing up, I have a wonderful wife and daughter. I have a job I love and one in which I can help change the lives of people who truly deserve it.

I have been representing people with disabilities for 30 years, my entire legal career. My grandfather had a severe disability, and I was raised witnessing how hard life can be when living with disabilities. I understand what you are going through.. My firm provides personalize representation. We are not part of the mass marketing, grab every client mentality found in many of the TV advertising firms. We are a small firm, and will get to know you as our client. We do not treat you as just a number or another case. When you call me, you talk to me. We return all phone calls, something which is lacking in today’s firms.. When we discuss your case, I will always tell you when it is, and when it is not in your best interest to hire a lawyer. Contrary to what TV advertisers tell you, sometimes you just don’t need to hire and pay an attorney. Some disabilities are so severe, they will automatically entitle you to benefits. Some people are in favorable age groups (over 50) which makes them more likely to get benefits based on their application, without having to pay an attorney. If I tell you not to hire anyone, I will spend the time with you to discuss your case, and provide you with the information you need to file your application on your own, and be available to answer your questions.. Our representation will not end if we get an unfavorable decision at your hearing. We will take your case to the Social Security Appeals Counsel, and to the District Court if appropriate. Before you hire an attorney, be sure to ask them if they will take your case to District Court if you lose. Most representatives will not file these appeals.. I have offices in both Minnesota and Arizona. Most think this means I winter in Phoenix, and spend summers in Minnesota. Actually, my time is split equally between my two offices each month. You can always reach me, no matter which office I am in.. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my life and law partner Dennis Peterson. We enjoy traveling, gardening, volunteering and being home handymen.
