I grew up in Minnesota and graduated from college with honors from Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Areas of Practice
Auto Accidents
Car accidents can be terrifying experiences. Often, at least some of the people involved are injured, sometimes severely, and the automobiles that crashed are damaged. The legal system can help the parties sort out who is at fault for the accident, and which party needs to pay the doctors' and mechanics' bills.
Pedestrian Accidents
In a collision between a car and a pedestrian, the results are almost always inevitable. You have no protections when you’re a pedestrian, and you’re at the mercy of the vehicle operator. As a result, the injuries springing from these accidents are both severe and one-sided.
Concussion and Brain Injury
In an instant, everything is different. A blow to the head can cause your life to change in a second. Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are unpredictable and extremely dangerous if not treated properly. To most people, you may look normal on the outside, but there’s damage on the inside affecting your ability to think clearly and impacting your ability to work.
Truck Accidents
Huge powerful vehicles of course deserve respect on the road, demand exceptional driver training, added caution, a dedication to obeying traffic laws, and a big dose of common sense. Even with the best of intentions, dangerous collisions still occur. And that’s when calling upon a truck accident lawyer becomes most important.
Wrongful Death
Coping with the loss of a loved one can be one of the most trying times of your life. When your family member’s death was caused by another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, the grieving process only intensifies In these instances, you may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit and receive the closure and financial compensation to which you and your family are entitled.
Boat accidents
A number of issues may lead to a boating accident, and subsequent injury to any persons involved. These can include speeding, errors by operators, insufficient training or knowledge of watercraft operation or equipment, defects in boat components or equipment, improper maintenance, and other issues.
