With over 30 years of experience, I specialize in family law, dedicating my career to serving children and families. What sets me apart as a family and divorce lawyer, is my personal understanding of the challenges my clients face, as I have been a child of divorce and experienced my own divorce three decades ago.

I deeply recognize the impact our choices during and after divorce have on our children. I firmly believe that "Children are not a prize to be won." They deserve the continuous love and support of both parents. My role as family lawyer is to guide and support my clients through the complex legal system, advocating for them so they can focus on healing themselves and their children, and building a strong foundation for the future.

In addition to my practice, I prioritize volunteering my legal services. To demonstrate this commitment, I offer a monthly free session called "Answering Your Divorce Questions" at my office, covering the basics of divorce, custody, parenting time, and related family law matters. I am proud to be recognized as a volunteer attorney with Central Minnesota Legal Services and regularly contribute to the Law Clinic at the Wright County Law Library. These efforts align with my dedication to helping parents understand the legal process and develop child-friendly parenting plans.

Having experienced the hardships of family law disputes both personally and professionally, and now as a family law lawyer, I find great satisfaction in giving my clients hope for a brighter future.
