About Brian
Biography
For over the last 26 years, I have practiced extensively in all areas of family law including divorce, complex asset and debt division, child custody, parenting time, support, spousal maintenance, and paternity. I am licensed in the State of Minnesota and Federal Court. I believe in thorough preparation for my cases and active involvement with my clients. I am a strong advocate for my client’s position. I am also a member of the Dakota County Bar Associations. I have volunteered with several organizations, including the Tubman/Chrysalis Center and the Ramsey County Volunteer Mediation Program. I have over twenty-four years of litigation and alternative dispute resolution experience. I am also a mediator and Qualified Neutral under Rule 114 of the Minnesota General Rules of Practice and am also on the provider list of the Ramsey County Financial Early Neutral Evaluation Panel.
