My expertise in intellectual property started with my work as an inventor and a patent liaison, agent, and patent attorney. After graduating from Cornell University with a master’s degree, I became a chemical engineer for 20 years at 3M Company (3M), a company that used patents extensively to maintain above-average returns in its businesses. It was here that I acquired a broad base in diverse technologies–research and development, process development, and manufacturing–to learn the patent process, and became a named inventor on six patents. My nine years as a patent liaison and then patent agent where I managed the patent portfolio of the corporate process research group, taught me how to ask the right questions in any technology to draft commercially valuable patents that were hard to design around. I was an inventor on six patents and drafted six complete patent applications under the mentorship of 3M patent attorneys while I also became registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) as a patent agent. In 1998, while working full time at 3M, I began pursuing a law degree to gain more insight into patent writing and prosecution, as well as other forms of protection such as trademarks and copyrights. After graduating from William Mitchell College of Law in 2002 to become a patent attorney of the U.S., I also became licensed to practice other law in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida. I'm now a patent attorney with a broad technical background and a strong awareness of relationships between patents and business.

My focus is family law, and my approach is focused on helping clients navigate the complex and emotional experience of family law issues including divorce, determining parenting time, child custody and support, dividing property, and deciding alimony. My goal is always the best possible outcome given my client’s objectives. I also seek to minimize the negative emotional and economic impact of the divorce process on children within the family system. (Studies have shown that children in high conflict divorces do not do as well later in life, as the children in low conflict divorces.) While I am a fierce advocate for my clients, I never deliberately fan the flames of conflict and anger that may hinder the process of resolving the case or that eventually have a harmful effect on the children. I guide my clients through every step of the divorce process, from filing the initial petition, preparing for and attending mediation, participating in settlement conferences, and if necessary, preparing and appearing for trial. While most of my cases settle out of court, I have the experience to manage your case through a full-blown divorce trial. My trial experience in divorce, includes the establishment of child custody and parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance/alimony, and the division of marital property. I have also litigated modification of child custody and parenting time for marital and non-marital children, modification of child support, enforcement of orders for spousal maintenance and child support, third party and grandparent custody and visitation, orders for protection, and harassment restraining orders. Prior to becoming an attorney, I owned a small business, and I draw on that experience to negotiate fair and equitable property settlements, parenting plans, and even prenuptial agreements that help protect the rights and assets of soon to become newlyweds.
