About

I have 30+ years of experience, practicing in North Dakota and Minnesota. I concentrate in personal and small business bankruptcies, but also provides services in drafting wills, healthcare directives, powers of attorney for financial decisions, probate, and guardianship & conservatorships.I provide a free initial telephone consultation regarding any of my practice areas.  For bankruptcies and basic estate planning, I am usually able to offer a flat fee quote in the initial telephone consultation.  And, I am usually able to provide an estimate of the cost of hourly fee legal services (i.e., probates).

She answered every single question i had understood that my life is just about as chaotic as it comes. Amazing and has been helping every step of the way. So much appreciated and made me feel like i have a safety net with her. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs her expertise.

I am SO HAPPY that I finally called Cheryl! What a load off my mind. I made the mistake of thinking I could do everything myself without hiring an attorney and I filed pro se. I spent countless hours stressing and filing out paperwork. After my 341 meeting, I was overwhelmed and devastated thinking I had really screwed things up. I then reached out to Cheryl’s office through their website and I had an email reply from her within hours. She was able to fit me in for a phone call that afternoon! She was kind and patient, and super helpful. I can’t express the relief I felt finally getting real answers and advice that I could trust. DO NOT BE AFRAID to give her a call! She has free telephone consultations so you have nothing to do lose. I am forever grateful for that phone call. Thank you, Cheryl!!

I hired Cheryl in the past to draw up my will. She was extremely accessible and good to work with. This time I just had a question about power of attorney and thought I’d need her services again. Cheryl explained that she’d be happy to help but also informed me that I could find the nrecessary forms on the ND Supreme Court website and that the forms were simple and straightforward, easily done without hiring legal services. I was impressed, she did not take advantage but instead saved me money.

It is not easy to decide to file for bankruptcy, but it is sometimes necessary to start over. Cheryl is very professional and took me through the process step by step. I felt that I knew what to expect from beginning to end. I followed the plan and my plan was successfully discharged, giving me the chance I needed to start over. Cheryl was responsive to my questions and helped me understand everything. I can't imagine having a better attorney for bankruptcy.

I had some personal legal issues that I needed help with. Cheryl was recommended to me by a friend. When I called, she made an effort to get me in right away. The informational meeting was thorough, she explained all charges, went through the process step by step and set my expectations for her involvement and the actual court appearance. I had many questions and by the time I left the initial meeting I knew I could trust Cheryl and signed up with her. After that meeting, I felt like I could breathe again. The entire process was smooth, when we went to court, Cheryl was incredibly prepared and had explained some of the potential questions, etc. She was diligent with collecting paperwork and always returning my call quickly. She is not only fantastic, but her staff is very responsive, caring and professional. If I ***ever*** have another issue that requires a lawyer - she will be my very first call. Her prices are reasonable and I was very pleased with the outcome. It was nice to be able to hire her as my attorney as I never once had to question her knowledge or extreme thoroughness! Things went well in court and I was pleased. I do not think that things would have gone so smoothly without her attention. I recommend Cheryl without hesitation.

Cheryl (not an assistant!) called me within 24 hours of my requesting information regarding a bankruptcy. She was so kind, non-judgmental, and gave valuable advice.
