About Me

I am a business attorney and shareholder at Henningson & Snoxell, Ltd., located in Maple Grove, Minnesota. I have been practicing law since 1992 and am the chair of the firm's Business Law and Nonprofit Organizations Department and a member of the Real Estate Department. Coming from a large farm family in Nebraska, I understand the desire to protect the legacy of real property and family businesses for future generations. I leverage my expertise in both business and real estate law to help families achieve these goals efficiently and effectively.

I represent business and nonprofit clients of all sizes-from start-up ventures to multimillion-dollar companies across a wide range of industries. I guide clients through every stage of the business lifecycle, from formation and day-to-day operations to complex mergers and acquisitions and succession planning. I advise clients on a wide range of business transactions, from formation, mergers and acquisitions, general business and corporate law, real estate law, contracts, employment law, nonprofit law, and business succession.
