Wells Lawyers

Criminal defense and immigration attorney.

I was raised in Minnesota. My academic journey took me to St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in Winona, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in business, graduating cum laude. I furthered my education at the University of St. Thomas School of Law, where I held the position of senior editor for the Law Journal and worked as a certified student attorney in the Elder Law Clinic. My legal practice is centered around family law, real estate, and estate planning.

I handle all types of Minnesota workers compensation claims along with personal injury cases and social security disability. I do not recover unless you recover. Insurance companies try to pay as little as possible for your claims. As such, you need someone experienced and knowledgeable to fight for the benefits you deserve. Since 2003 I have been practicing as a Minnesota workers compensation attorney. Feel free to contact me for a free initial consultation.

I am passionate about helping people, especially when it relates to the burdens of debt and getting a fresh financial start. I began specializing in bankruptcy in 2014. When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family. Currently, the majority of my free time is spent chasing my toddler around, but I also enjoy photography and crafting.

I practice law in St. Cloud. I am a graduate of William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. I understand the financial pressures my clients face because I experienced some of these same pressures growing up. I know that most of my clients end up in debt through no fault of their own. People call me because their income fell or their expenses rose. For instance, people get laid off because the business closes or moves away. Or they get divorced and when there was barely enough money to run one household before the divorce, suddenly there are two...

He takes the time to understand each client's situation, present their options, and move forward with the client's best interests and wishes in mind.
