Following a successful 15-year career managing several well-known retail stores throughout the country, Mr. Lundell decided to refocus his passion for customer service and apply it to the practice of law. His determination to provide superior “customer” – or client – service is the keystone of his relationships with each and every client. “Whether carefully guiding parents through a highly emotional child custody dispute, or navigating a conflict between employer and employee, it is important to me that the people with whom I interact are provided sound legal advice in a language they understand. ‘You have to explain the why and the what next,’ is a saying I often look to when describing how I plan to approach a legal matter. My client needs to understand why the steps we are taking in their case are important so that they can assist me in obtaining the best possible outcome. They also need to understand the ‘what next’ so they can see the connection between what we are doing today and how it will affect what happens next week, next month, or next year.”
