Consumer Fraud

Corporations do many great things in our country, such as provide valuable goods and services, employ large numbers of people, and make important contributions to our communities. However, sometimes corporations treat people unfairly by taking their money and then not living up to promises. This is fraud – it’s illegal and it’s not right. One example of corporate fraud that I specialize in involves health insurance companies denying claims to good people who have paid their premiums and happen to have gotten sick. I’m proud of the opportunities that I have to stand up for working families against powerful corporations that are trying to crush them – I’m passionate about it and I’m good at what I do.

Individualized attention and responsive communications.

Your livelihood and peace of mind are at stake when a corporation is not treating you fairly or when an insurance company is denying your claim in spite of your insurance policy. I understand how important it is to you to quickly resolve the situation so you can move on with your life. We’ll discuss your goals very early on so that we’ll both have the big picture in mind as we move forward. I’ll respond quickly to your phone calls and emails so that you always know the status of your case. We’ll make large decisions about your case together because I always want you to be comfortable with the direction of your case.

Aggressive trial preparation from the start.

Consumer fraud cases require focused attention from the very beginning. As a trial lawyer with over one-hundred trials under my belt, I know what evidence will be persuasive to a jury and I understand that trials are won by disciplined preparation. Large corporations and insurance companies are much more likely to offer a favorable settlement to you – or back down completely – when it is clear that we are ready and anxious for trial. If these powerful interests will not back down or agree to fair settlement terms, then we’ll be ready to fight for your rights at trial.

Ready to serve you.

I specialize in cases where insurance companies wrongfully deny claims to people who have insurance policies. I also handle many cases involving common law fraud and the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act. I offer free consultations and evening and weekend appointments as necessary. It would be an honor to serve you.
