Throughout my time at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, I investigated and prosecuted countless cases covering a wide range of substantive areas, including complex cybercrime, domestic and international terrorism, investment and securities fraud, healthcare fraud, and other white collar criminal matters. I also briefed and argued numerous cases before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Today, I draw upon this experience when representing individuals and organizations across a wide range of industries before state and federal regulators, agencies, and in connection with regulatory oversight and investigations.
My Approach
I became an attorney to help people navigate difficult situations and to ensure they receive fair treatment in the legal system. Having spent nearly 20 years as a prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota and the U.S. Department of Justice, I’ve dedicated my career to helping clients address complex legal issues and achieve favorable outcomes. Through this experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the inner workings of various government agencies (including the IRS, the SEC, FINRA, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), and I am able to leverage this experience on behalf of my clients.
My clients also benefit from my decades of hands-on federal trial experience, which equips me to provide strategic, informed, and effective advocacy through complex (and often challenging) legal matters. Outside the courtroom, I am experienced in government investigations, Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs), and before governmental and regulatory bodies, and leverage my familiarity with these processes on behalf of my clients. I work with my clients to present a clear, accurate explanation of the facts and to ensure that they’ve been fully heard.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending theater and dance performances, and traveling. To date, some of my favorite destinations have been Morocco and Egypt.
