In that respect my practice of family law and contracts emphasizes respect for the family, protection for children and fair & balanced treatment of individuals. Without sacrificing zealous client advocacy I strive to find solutions that benefit clients from the start with limited expense.

I have been an attorney for 21 years working primarily with families. My first 9 years were as an assistant county attorney handling child protection, child support, juvenile delinquencies/truancies, guardianships/conservatorships and mental commitments. Then I developed a training program on a two year grant with a local legal aid office. The program trained battered women's advocates in basic housing laws. In 2000 I spent 7 months handling bankruptcy cases. Since 2001, I have worked exclusively on family law matters involving divorce, post divorce, custody, parenting time, child/spousal support and property matters.

On a personal level, my father and grandfather were attorneys who taught me that the law was an honorable profession that demanded my integrity and perseverance on behalf of others. I have two adult children and a grandson that I adore. And I sing in the Church choir.

I bring a diverse background to the legal profession. I have been a high school teacher, a professional musician, and have participated in various marathons. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Hamline University School of Law, and have been involved in some of the most high profile cases in recent history in Southern Minnesota, including cases involving termination of parental rights, wrongful death, civil commitment, and various other criminal matters.

My practice focuses on litigation in the areas of Family Law and Criminal Defense. I built my practice from the ground up with the intention of providing aggressive, ethical legal representation. For helpful information and links, please feel free to visit www.betterslaw.com.
