Quality, dedication and commitment are words that describe my practice and my devotion to my clients. I graduated with honors from Hamline University School of Law in 1995. I am licensed to practice law in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and I handle cases in both federal and state courts.
I joined Mudge Porter Lundeen & Seguin after graduation from law school so I could practice with a firm that shared my high values and desire to deliver the best legal services available. I became partner in the firm in 2002. My law practice is client-focused and results oriented. I devote personal attention to each of my clients' cases, and I have won important trials and secured valuable settlements. More importantly, I help my clients solve their difficult legal problems.
In addition to an active law practice, I am an adjunct professor at William Mitchell College of Law where I have taught courses on appellate advocacy and legal writing. I was appointed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court to the Investigative Committee for the Office of Lawyer Regulation. I served on the Board of Governors for the State Bar of Wisconsin, and I was the president of the St. Croix Valley Bar Association.
