Throughout his twenty six years of practice, Tom has successfully represented injury victims in complex personal injury, workers compensation and disability cases. A large portion of his practice is devoted to representing disabled individuals in both private disability and ERISA disability cases. He has successfully represented disabled individuals in the initial application stage, appeal stage and through federal and state lawsuits. Tom’s practice is state-wide representing individuals in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and a substantial number of clients in Northern Minnesota.

Tom has lectured nationally and locally at Continuing Legal Education courses and seminars, teaching other attorneys and legal professionals strategies, theories, and skills in personal injury, workers’ compensation and disability cases.
