George was born and raised in Minnesota. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Oregon and earned his J.D. from New York Law School in 1986. For the first four years out of law school, George worked as a public defender in Manhattan, New York. In that capacity, he tried numerous felony and misdemeanor matters. After moving back to Minnesota, he opened his own law practice in 1991. In 2001, he and Bill became partners in the firm.
Drug Crimes
Assault
Murder
Over the years, members of the firm have tried cases involving medical negligence, wrongful death, auto accidents, defamation, wrongful discharge, property line disputes, contract disputes, arson, murder, drug conspiracy, product liability, and much more. Because we carefully select our clients and cases, most of our clients’ claims, including major personal injury claims, have been settled without trial. Most of these have been settled upon confidential terms.

In over four decades of practice, he has obtained many superlative settlements and verdicts for his clients, with record results in several categories. His practice focuses on personal injury and wrongful death matters, particularly medical malpractice. He also has represented numerous doctors, nurses and other professionals in their licensing, credentialing, contracting and personal affairs. Although Bill prefers dialogue over confrontation and settlement over trials, he has been lead counsel in jury trials in many categories, including major cases involving medical malpractice, auto accidents, products liability, murder, kidnapping, wrongful discharge, defamation, prison riot, and more.
Employment Discrimination
Bill, George and staff are not just considered my lawyers, but a part of my family. They have worked on several matters for me, including a will/trust, a last minute business contract, and a complicated employment matter. In each of these instances, they provided dedicated service and compassion and gave me sound legal advice. The entire office has been outstanding to deal with and patient in answering my endless questions, no matter how trivial. The level of dedication to their clients is unparalleled and the breadth of matters they are able to handle truly makes them a standout law firm in the Twin Cities.
Employment Contract
When there is another type of employment contract, such as that with a subcontractor, the terms may need to be negotiated or there may be a matter where the terms were violated. From the beginning, it is good to have a Twin Cities employment lawyer there with you so you can make sure the contract is sound. If a violation does happen, there are many times when the matter can be negotiated and the business relationship can continue. Other times, the violation may lead to litigation. In that case, aggressive and knowledgeable representation is needed in order to secure the best possible result. No matter which route the case takes, you will have a powerful advocate in your corner so that you can move on toward a productive future.
What’s more is that automobile accidents have an economic impact, as wages are lost, hospital stays can be long, the automobiles are damaged, and there may be other property damage. On a national level, the total economic impact is estimated to be over $600 million.
Some firms use their website to brag about specific amounts of money that they have recovered for their clients in particular cases. We do not do that here. This is because the vast majority of our personal injury work is in the field of medical negligence. For many years, it has been an established practice in the medical negligence field for virtually every settlement of any value to be declared “confidential”. That is increasingly true in other practice areas as well. Confidentiality can mean different things in different circumstances. In virtually every case it forbids the parties to publicly name the litigants or associate the litigants with a particular money settlement. For some settlements “anonymous” reporting is permitted, which means that the general results can be reported to specialized legal publications, as long as any information that could identify the parties is excluded. In an increasing number of circumstances, settlement confidentiality requires that the parties are forbidden even from declaring that a settlement occurred, regardless of whether or not the parties are identified, and without any ability to reference the amount of settlement.
Medical Malpractice
When the unthinkable happened, my mother and I knew nothing about medical malpractice, but we learned fast. It seemed the law firms we contacted either thought our case had no merit or they didn’t want to jeopardize the healthcare professionals and organizations they had on retainer. We were turned away time after time.
Estate planning is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your family. You have the peace of mind that your family is taken care of after you have passed on, and they know what to do instead of having to guess.
