Minneapolis, Minnesota

I help individuals navigate the complex, and sometimes daunting, issues facing them and their families throughout contested family law matters. I strive to provide sound advice and guidance while also providing access to the resources needed both inside and out of the legal process.

Focusing primarily on property, custody, and support issues, I represent clients in all types of legal matters. I understand that family law matters create a particularly stressful time for clients and their children and I therefore take time to fully understand situations, desires and plans for the future. My clients rely on me to help them navigate the complex issues surrounding discovery, negotiations, motions and trial.
