Our office has <br /> represented Pequot Lakes for almost three years and we enjoy the relationship we have with the <br /> City Council and the staff. Our law practice is very specialized concentrating almost entirely on <br /> municipal and school law,public sector labor relations and land use and zoning. I have over 32 <br /> years of experience as an attorney. My legal assistant, Connie Olson,has been working with me <br /> since 1975. She has had extensive experience as a real estate loan closer and is very familiar <br /> with preparation of documents required in real estate transactions. <br /> Currently,I represent the City of Brainerd and the City of East Gull Lake for civil <br /> matters. I am the immediate Past-President of the League of Minnesota Cities Minnesota City <br /> Attorney Association. I held that position for two terms and currently serve on its Board of <br /> Directors. I am also a former President of the Minnesota Council of School Attorneys which is <br /> sponsored by the Minnesota School Boards Association. Our firm and I both have been awarded <br /> an AV rating for legal ability and general ethical standards by Martindale Hubbell,an <br /> independent attorney rating service. This is the highest rating that an attorney and firm can <br /> achieve and is awarded based on the confidential opinions of other attorneys practicing in the <br /> same areas of the law. <br /> My experience includes an extensive background in planning and zoning matters, and I <br /> am familiar with most local ordinances, and currently advise the City of Brainerd, City of East <br /> Gull Lake, and Brainerd Schools regarding real estate and zoning questions. I regularly <br /> represent private clients needing assistance in obtaining conditional use permits,variances and <br /> Planned Unit Developments in Crow Wing County, Cass County,the City of Lake Shore and the <br /> City of Nisswa. <br />
