Family Law

• Guardianship
  Logically following estate planning is estate, probate, and trust administration — putting the plan into operation. Our firm represents fiduciaries and beneficiaries in all Minnesota probate courts, preparing all documents and filings required under Minnesota laws and procedures, and preparing income tax returns for the estate, as well as any required estate tax returns. Trust administration does not usually require court pleadings or filings, but many of the same administration, distribution, or tax issues are present and require attention. In this area, we counsel fiduciaries regarding the rights and interests of beneficiaries, and recommend steps or actions to help the fiduciary operate the trust in compliance with the appropriate fiduciary laws and avoid personal liability for their actions, or inaction. We also assist with guardianships and conservatorships. We take special care during these difficult times to represent families with caring and compassionate counsel, guidance and direction. Our attorneys are well aware of the stress that legal proceedings often times add to a difficult situation and strive to complete the formal process as quickly as possible while maintaining an eye towards your expressed goals. Experience enables us to counsel surviving spouses and children during this transition and help them make sound legal decisions for their future.

• Wrongful Termination
  In addition to litigation, we also provide risk management, litigation avoidance, and other preventive employment law advice and counseling to assist employers with their day-to-day needs in the full spectrum of labor and employment law issues, ranging from employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour issues, and leaves of absence, to confidentiality and trade secret issues, labor relations, employment contracts and principal/independent contractor relationships. We help employers avoid litigation whenever possible by formulating a positive personnel program, which enhances employee morale, minimizes work disruptions, and increases the quality and quantity of work. The components of such a program include the preparation and revision of employee handbooks, supervisory manuals, personnel policies, job descriptions, recruitment and selection procedures, anti-harassment policies, disciplinary procedures and performance appraisal systems. We also handle investigations of workplace misconduct.
