Attorney Information
Overview
Communication is the key to any great relationship and the foundation of my practice. I pride myself on keeping my clients informed and in the loop. I have an extensive background in technology and all areas of IP law, and enjoy teaching my clients the intricacies of IP and legal procedure while guiding them through their legal pursuits and challenges. For me, being an IP attorney allows me to combine disparate sides of my personality - the puzzle solving and personal, and the argumentative and strategic.
In addition to my intellectual property litigation practice, I focus on giving back to the educational institutions that helped shape my career. I serve on the Board of Trustees for the Marshall School in Duluth, Minnesota, and as an alumni undergraduate applicant interviewer for Northwestern and Stanford Universities.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
