My goal is to deliver effective, thoughtful legal advocacy for my clients with efficiency and personal attention.
I believe that treating others, including opposing parties and their attorneys, with respect and integrity is the most effective means to achieve the best possible results for my clients. Treating all involved with dignity, not just during settlement negotiations, but throughout the lawsuit, puts my clients in a better position to negotiate a favorable settlement, or if necessary, to win at trial.
As a commercial litigator working in the Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN area, I have earned the trust and respect of many clients. For an initial consultation, call us today.
