Attorney Information

Overview

Russell R. Cherne graduated from Albany high school in 1993 and has been a life long resident of Central Minnesota, with the exception of attending law school at the University of North Dakota. After growing up on a dairy farm and learning the meaning of hard work and dedication, Russ went to law school in order to help people during those times in their lives when they need an attorney. Russ practices in the areas of family law including divorce, paternity, custody, child support and adoptions as well as criminal defense, business litigation, elder law and estate planning (wills, probate, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, and powers of attorney), employment law (contracts, dispute avoidance, litigation and litigation avoidance) as well as personal injury. Russ loves helping people, spending time with his children and family, hunting, fishing and no longer milking cows.
