About

People often ask me how I can defend criminal for a living. My answer is always, as far back as I can remember I have always wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. I vividly remember as a child sneaking down after everyone had gone to bed to watch reruns of the original Perry Mason. I was awestruck that in every episonde Perry Mason would find the real culprit of the crime, most often not his client. He fought with such vigor and intellect, that I dreamed of growing up to be him. Most attorneys will tell you they became a lawyer beacuse they wanted to help others or to change the sytem. For me though, it was a desire to ensure justice was done and the right person was convicted, just like Perry Mason. I love what I do for a living, and each day I wake up knowing I get to do it again is a joy. However, being a lawyer is not the only thing I enjoy. When I am not in the office or a courtroom you can find me on the golf course. Although, my golf game could use a great deal of polishing I still love to play. I am also an avid baseball fan. Growing up in rural Wisconisin I bleed blue for my beloved Milwaukee Brewers. However, since moving to Minnesota I have started to follow the Twins almost as closely as I follow my Brewers. When time allows I love nothing more than the taking in a baseball game. The sounds of the crowd, the excitement of the long ball, and that sweet sound of ball hitting glove when a pitcher burns one across the plate striking out the opposing teams best hitter. It is the simple things in life that make for the best days. While I love being on the golf course, in the the baseball stadium, there is nothing I love more in this world than helping my clients. If you have been accused of a crime call me and let me help.
