About

 I am dedicated to providing my clients with sound legal representation and to taking the intimidation factor out of hiring an attorney.  I understand that seeking legal representation is a difficult decision and I take pride in knowing that I provide my clients with a quality service. I grew up in central Wyoming and attended college in Bozeman, Montana.  Prior to attending law school I worked is a small personal injury firm as a paralegal and became familiar with personal injury and insurance claims handling. After several years working as a paralegal my husband and I relocated to Minnesota and I attended law school. I gained employment with the Wright County Attorney’s office for two years during law school and handled misdemeanor prosecution.  As a result of that experience I gained a wealth of courtroom experience as well as the ability to negotiate well in various high stress situations.  After law school I began working as a public defender on a volunteer basis and recently on a contract basis. Then I maintained my own private practice before joining the team at Mundahl Law.Working as a prosecutor and a defense attorney have given me the ability to understand both sides of the criminal justice system and the ins and outs of the legal process.  As a result, I am better able to serve my clients because I am able to see the case from both sides of the fence and develop strategic solutions.  I treat every legal issue with the utmost professionalism and defend my clients aggressively while treating their matters delicately.

She was very dedicated and extremely informative on how my case was/is going. Heather knows her stuff and put the opposing party to shame with facts and rules. I couldn't me more happy to have a lawery like her by my side in these difficult times. She kept me calm and walked me through what was being done through each step.

My divorce was really messy and Heather was there to help me through the whole process. She was very responsive, professional and fought hard for me! I would definitely recommend her!

Heather gave me straight forward advice and it turned out I didn't need to hire an attorney. She laid out my options in common sense language and I would recommend anyone dealing with a criminal matter to meet with Heather.

I met Heather through someone my dad knew and she was able to take my case after my previous lawyer had to drop her clients due to an emergency. I was a panick stricken single parent fighting for custody of my daughter and knew that my ex had been drawing out the process due to his never ending funds. Heather was real about costs, offered ideas about how to keep cost to me down, was realistic about options that we had and answered the questions I had and made me feel heard. My case lasted a few years and I feel beyond lucky that I was patient for the results that I wanted ( it only lasted that long because of not receiving paperwork from the other party and I didn't want to bring it to court because it could've cost me more in the long run). I do recommend Heather Olson to anyone that would need her services. You'd be lucky to find someone as driven to do the right thing for you.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Heather for over two years now; I’ve hired her for two criminal matters and gotten the results that worked for me on both cases! She takes a case very seriously, and really does just an outstanding job at explaining all obtains while making a clear and intelligent recommendation for her client. She has impressed me so much that I am going to hire her going forward with my family law issues! Extremely professional, trust me hire her!

Extremely misleading regarding how much time/money it would take to get a divorce. Did not respond/answer calls/emails in a timely manner. My husband and I agreed on almost everything and it still took them over 6 months, all of my retainer plus ANOTHER $700.00 to even draft the papers. I took time off from my job to drive to Buffalo for meetings that were not necessary. When I brought up my concerns, she threw the other lawyer and her assistant under the bus and only gave me %15 off my last two statements.
