Practicing exclusively divorce & family law in Minnesota since 1993.
I have practiced exclusively divorce and family law in Minnesota since 1993. In addition to other practice areas listed in my profile, I have extensive experience in interstate and international family law, having practiced with 18 other states, and 22 countries on 6 continents. I am the author of the first Minnesota Divorce and Family Law Blog, which can be found on my website. I choose to be a small business so that I can offer very personalized service to each of my clients. I welcome inquiries through my website, blog, by phone, or in person.
