I currently practice law in Minnesota and in the United States District Court for MinnesotaI value providing effective, quality, reasonably-priced legal services to my clients.I focus my law practice on estate planning (e.g. wills, healthcare directives, trusts) and consumer debt relief (e.g. Chapter 7 & 13 bankruptcy, negotiating with creditors, foreclosure prevention).I have served as chair of the Consumer- Debtor Subcommittee of the Minnesota State Bar Association. I volunteered at the free legal clinic at Hennepin County’s Project Homeless Connect. I have worked with vln and other nonprofits to provide legal help to people who otherwise could not afford it.I graduated from William Mitchell College of Law (now Mitchell Hamline). I helped found the William Mitchell Journal of Law & Practice. As a founding member of the Journal I participated in developing the Journal’s Business Plan and served as a member of its editorial staff. I participated in organizing the Journal’s first symposium: “No Strings Attached—Regulating Judicial Campaign Speech: Judicial Elections in the Aftermath of Republican Party of Minnesota v. White.” The symposium brought together Constitutional Law Scholars from Minnesota and the East Coast to examine how the Supreme Court’s ruling might come to affect the independence and integrity of the bench.
