For the last year, thanks to the hard work of all of our staff, and you, our clients, no one who works at this office has gotten Covid while working here, and we have not spread a single case to any of our clients, while getting all of our client's legal needs taken care of. With the spread of vaccination the end is in sight, normal times where we can meet our clients in person in the office are just around the corner.
During the transition we will be having some in person, in office appointments for clients who have already been vaccinated, and for whom the CDC recommended period of time has passed since their last shot. Of course, for anyone who would prefer a phone or video appointment for safety, convenience, or any other reason those types of appointments are always available.
The weather is warming up and outdoor-in person appointments are now available. The updated CDC guidelines indicate that masks are not needed for vaccinated people outside if not in close quarters; although as a precaution we will continue to practice social distancing. If you have not had your vaccination, masks will continue to be a requirement.
Through the transition safety of all staff and clients will continue to be our top priority, we look forward to seeing you soon.

I have gotten a few calls lately from people asking about asking for a change in custody of their child before school starts in the fall. One client asked me if it was too early to start, I told him, and others that the time to start planning for fall is now. The...
When some people think of landlords they think of tycoons, big shots who collect rent in limousines or German sports cars. While some landlords may fit that definition, the majority of landlords do not. Thousands of landlords in Minnesota and other states own a...
