In addition to being admitted to practice law in six states, he has also been admitted pro hac vice to practice for clients in Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee. He has considerable experience at the appellate level, having argued cases with full or partial success before Minnesota and North Dakota Supreme Courts and Minnesota and Tennessee Courts of Appeals.
