Overwhelming debt can happen to anyone — a medical crisis, a job loss, a divorce. Bankruptcy is a legal tool designed to give honest people a fresh start, and we help you use it wisely. From your first judgment-free consultation, we'll review your options, protect your essential assets, and put creditor harassment to a stop.

- Stopping wage garnishment and collections

Personal Injury
Fighting for your rights and compensation after an injury caused by someone else's negligence.
When someone else's carelessness turns your life upside down, you deserve an advocate who will fight for every dollar of compensation you're owed. Our attorneys have recovered substantial settlements and verdicts for injured Minnesotans — and unlike many firms, we never represent insurance companies. We represent people.
How We Help:
- Motor vehicle and trucking accidents
- Construction and workplace accidents
- Slip, trip, and fall injuries
- Serious and catastrophic injuries
- Wrongful death claims
Workers Compensation
Ensuring you receive the benefits you deserve after a workplace injury.
A workplace injury shouldn't cost you your livelihood. Minnesota's workers' compensation system is supposed to protect you, but insurers often delay, dispute, or deny valid claims. We know the system inside and out, and we make sure injured workers get the wage replacement, medical care, and benefits the law provides.
How We Help:
- Denied and disputed claims
- Wage loss and disability benefits
- Medical treatment disputes
- Permanent partial disability ratings
- Settlement negotiations
Family Law
Providing compassionate guidance through divorce, custody, and life's most important family matters.
Few legal matters are more personal than those involving your family. Whether you're facing a divorce, working out custody and parenting time, or resolving a support dispute, we combine firm advocacy with the compassion these situations demand — helping you protect your children, your finances, and your future.
How We Help:
- Divorce and legal separation
- Child custody and parenting time
- Child support and spousal maintenance
- Property and asset division
- Order modifications
Estate Planning
Helping you plan for the future with wills, trusts, and healthcare directives.

How We Help:
- Wills and trusts
- Healthcare directives
- Powers of attorney
- Asset protection planning
- Business and farm succession planning
Probate
Guiding families through estate administration with care during life's most difficult moments.
Settling a loved one's estate involves court filings, deadlines, and legal duties — all at a time when your family is grieving. We guide personal representatives and heirs through the Minnesota probate process from start to finish, keeping things moving efficiently and resolving complications before they become costly.
How We Help:
- Formal and informal probate
- Personal representative guidance
- Creditor claims and estate debts
- Will contests and estate disputes
- Final distribution and estate closing
Guardianship & Conservatorship
Protecting loved ones who can no longer make personal or financial decisions for themselves.
When age, illness, or disability leaves a loved one unable to care for themselves or manage their finances, the courts provide a way for family to step in. We help you understand your options — including less restrictive alternatives — and guide you through the petition process with the sensitivity these matters require.
How We Help:
- Guardianship petitions (personal and medical decisions)
- Conservatorship petitions (financial matters)
- Guardianship for adults with special needs
- Alternatives like powers of attorney
- Ongoing reporting and compliance support
