Approaching my twentieth year of practice, I look back on a legal career that has been, and continues to be, personally and professionally rewarding. This stems not from concentration in a single area of practice, but from the variety of problems I have helped clients solve over these years.

My current practice remains varied, but it is focused primarily on commercial and consumer collection and family law (including adoption, divorce, and guardianship). The balance would probably best be classified as general civil litigation. I am admitted to practice in both state and federal courts, though the bulk of my practice tends to be in state courts. I am also admitted to practice in the Menominee Supreme Court.

I have successfully handled both circuit court trials and appeals. I have had two appellate cases to date that have been selected for publication by the Court of Appeals and a current case has been certified to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
