Practice Areas
Focused counsel for builders and businesses
We concentrate on two things and do them well: getting contractors and suppliers paid, and keeping Minnesota businesses on solid legal ground.
Mechanic's Liens
Pre-lien notices, lien preparation and recording, deadline management, and lien foreclosure actions to secure the payment you've earned.
Business Law & Transactions
Entity formation, buy-sell agreements, commercial contracts, and day-to-day counsel for Minnesota companies of every size.
Construction Law
Contract drafting and review, change-order and delay disputes, bonding claims, and prompt-payment matters for the construction industry.
Commercial Litigation & Collections
Resolute advocacy in state and federal court — breach of contract, payment disputes, judgment enforcement, and commercial collections.
