About
I joined the Swenson Lervick Law Firm in May of 1996, after starting my legal career in Fargo, North Dakota in 1990. I have been rated as AV Preeminent® by Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ and am certified as a Labor and Employment Law Specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association. In addition to my employment law practice, I handle many types of litigation, including personal injury cases and business disputes. I also serve as the City Attorney for the cities of Alexandria and Starbuck and am a Qualified Rule 114 Neutral (mediator and arbitrator). I am licensed to practice law in Minnesota, North Dakota and Iowa and have served as the president of the Douglas County and Seventh District Bar Associations. I am a member of the Society for Human Resource Management and a charter member of the West Central Minnesota Chapter of SHRM. I lecture frequently on employment law topics, am a co-founder of the West Central Minnesota Employment Law Update, and the author of Human Resource Legal Resource at http://humanresrourcelegalresource.wordpress.com. Dedicated to community service, I have served as a director for Theatre L’Homme Dieu, Young People’s Place, Community Nursery School, Alexandria Rotary Club, and the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. In 2011 I was received the Chamber’s Friend of the Chamber Award which is given annually to a person who has gone beyond expectations to benefit the chamber and its members. Originally from Marshall, Minnesota, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of North Dakota in 1987 and with honors from Drake University Law School in 1990. I also received a masters degree in mass communications from Drake University in 1990. My wife, Joni, and I live in Alexandria and have three adult sons.

In 2001 I was in a single vehicle roll over in someone else's vehicle and had a broken arm. I walked up Broadway in Alexandria looking for a lawyer to help me out since the Ins. company was trying to get me to claim under a family member's insurance instead of them. He was the only lawyer that met with me right away. He took care of everything. Any time the ins. company refused to pay their legal obligation he called and it was handled withing a couple of day. I would, and have recommended his services to numerous friends and family members.
