Kristi’s legal experience includes serving as a paralegal at a small and at a mid-sized law firm.  At both firms she gained valuable experience on large multi-party litigation cases.  She also worked as a law clerk during law school at a personal injury and estate planning Bloomington law firm. Kristi has been a paralegal educator both at the Minnesota School of Business as well as Kaplan University.  Kristi currently serves an adjunct professor at Northwestern College in St. Paul.

Kristi is an entrepreneur at heart and seeks to bring out the entrepreneur in all of her business clients by counseling them to fine-tune their business operationally, practically, financially and legally. Kristi brings sensible legal solutions to the table for every client she interacts with.

Kristi works most often with people who are looking to sell their Minnesota Business or looking to buy an already existing business through an asset acquisition or a stock acquisition.  She works with those people to make sure their business structure is properly set up, the right documents are in place to protect the ongoign interests of the client and that after the dust settles from the closing of the sale she sees to it that each business owner has their estate planning and real estate affairs in place.
