As a third-generation attorney, Barbara became familiar with the courtroom at a young age. Her grandfather and other relatives have served as judges in Minnesota, and she began observing court cases as a child, as her father was a trial lawyer. She is now able to create compelling arguments and has an intuitive ability to organize facts and figures in a way to support her client’s case.
Putting Your Needs First
A good attorney puts the goals of his or her client first. A great attorney also examines all decisions in a moral context, carefully considering how each action will impact everyone involved — this is what Barbara strives to do. She handles legal concerns related to:
- Family law: Finding solutions to divorce, child custody, spousal maintenance (alimony), child support and other family legal matters.
- Animal law: Leading the way in animal-related issues such as pet custody, contract disputes, nuisances, animal bites and more.
- Art and entertainment law: Safeguarding intellectual property, negotiating and drafting contracts, and advocating for clients in the arts.
She will construct your case in a manner that helps you avoid further litigation, so you can move forward with your life without struggling or looking back.
Litigation And Negotiation Backed By Psychology
Barbara was an undergraduate psychology major at Carleton College, and she has a true desire to understand why parties seek to advance certain positions. She can help you understand what the party on the other side of the table is thinking and why, and how to effectively negotiate toward a fair outcome. She has a keen ability to translate the essence of an oral agreement into a well-constructed and durable written agreement. This also makes her a skillful litigator when needed.
