EXPERIENCE
I am proud of my education, experience, and track record of successful results for my clients. A client often feels lost and scared in the unfamiliar criminal court system. In over 30 years of practice, I have had numerous occasions where my clients commented on the reduction in stress and worries by my guidance through the process and procedures after hiring my law firm.
LEGAL COMMUNITY
Over the span of my career, I have worn many hats: a defense attorney for thousands of individuals, a prosecutor for two cities, a Chair of the HCBA Lawyer Referral & Information Service Oversight Committee, a Member of the Board of Directors of the Innocence Project, a Steven A. Pihlaja Justice Partner Award recipient, a volunteer with the Legal Aid Society, as well as a position on the Board of Directors of ARTSPACE. I am an active member of the Hennepin County Bar Association for over three decades where I helped shape the Misdemeanor Defense Panel through which I regularly volunteer my time to provide pro bono legal services to those in need. I believe in giving back and helping those who cannot afford legal representation, as well as representing clients within their means.
