Choosing the law firm that is right for you is an extremely important decision. Too many people believe that as long as a lawyer has a J.D. degree and has passed the bar, that lawyer is competent to handle your case. We believe that our profession deserves to be scrutinized more thoroughly so that you have confidence that your case is thoroughly understood within the context of Minnesota law.
Probate law is one of those things that is a mystery to most people and, fortunately, it is not something that you will have the opportunity to deal with many times in your life. When it does come up and a family member or friend dies unexpectedly, it may be a bit overwhelming to think about gathering the basic information you will need to navigate the process of probate.
