About Derek
Biography
I am excited to work in Buffalo, Minnesota - the town where I attended high school. After high school I attended the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities for my undergraduate degree and completed law school at the University of North Dakota. Following law school, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to clerk for the North Dakota Supreme Court in Bismarck, North Dakota.
After my clerkship, things came full circle and I was eager to get started with the law firm of Carlson & Jones. Since joining Carlson & Jones in 2010, my practice has largely focused on family law, including divorce, child custody, adoption, child support and paternity.
I work hard to meet the needs of my clients and to help families through some of their most difficult times.
