Jack’s practice focuses on business and real estate litigation. He is certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association as a Civil Trial Law Specialist and is a proud member of Minnesota’s Academy of Certified Trial Lawyers. The Minnesota State Bar Association reports that in 2020 fewer than 3% of all registered attorneys in Minnesota are specialists in their field.
For over 25 years, Jack has litigated matters on behalf of his clients throughout the country, representing plaintiffs and defendants. His trial experience includes both jury and court trials.
Because of his vast trial experience, Jack has seen the effects litigation can have on a business, its owners, and individuals that are not directly tied to the cost of litigation. Litigation is an emotional process as well, particularly for those experiencing it for the first time. Jack prides himself on explaining each step of litigation to his clients throughout the process to know what to expect before it happens. He recognizes that litigation can be costly, and he advises his clients on the cost/benefit of taking particular actions during the lawsuit. Jack does not litigate for the sake of litigating.
Jack volunteers at a local area high school as its mock trial coach as part of the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Mock Trial program. When not at the office, you can find Jack on a golf course or at home with his dog.
