I’m a Bismarck attorney that spent my youth in Napoleon and the surrounding areas, built grain bins across the State, and worked on drilling rigs in the Bakken before heading to Vanderbilt Law. My practice is built on a straightforward approach: understand your problem, telling you what it takes to fix it, and getting it done efficiently.

I help North Dakota clients with matters involving:

• Business Law – formations, contracts, governance, and day-to-day counsel for small and medium-sized companies
• Civil Litigation – business disputes, real estate conflicts, torts, and construction claims
• Intellectual Property – patents, trademarks, and trade secrets for inventors, startups, and oilfield service companies
• Real Estate – commercial and residential purchases, leases, and disputes
• Probate, Wills & Trusts – estate planning, incapacity planning, and probate administration

Whether you’re launching a new venture, protecting an invention, settling an estate, fighting a contract dispute, or just need someone who can read a balance sheet and understand the legal needs of your business, I deliver clear answers and cost-effective results.

Flat-fee pricing on most estate-planning, business formation, trademark, and real estate matters. Litigation and complex work handled on reasonable hourly or hybrid arrangements.
