I graduated from Hamlin, now William Mitchell Hamlin Law School, in 1991. I’ve been practicing since 1992. My first job out of law school was with the Minneapolis City Attorney’s office, where I was a prosecutor in the criminal division for about three years, and then I joined a large civil litigation firm, and I’ve been practicing civil litigation ever since. I’ve tried almost every kind of case there is to try, everything from auto accidents to construction defects, products liabilities and employment cases. I am a certified civil trial specialist by – certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. I’m certified as a civil trial specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association, and I’ve tried cases in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Carolina and Florida.
