Before I joined Winthrop & Weinstine, I served as Assistant Attorney General, leading litigation and enforcement and regulatory actions for the Minnesota Department of Health, health licensing boards (including the Minnesota Boards of Nursing, Pharmacy, Marriage and Family Therapy, Physical Therapy, Psychology, and others), and the Minnesota Departments of Veterans Affairs and Corrections. I have always wanted to help people, and thought that I would be in public sector forever. But after being at the AG's office for four years, I realized that I could more directly fight for people's rights by representing them on the other end.
My Approach
Healthcare and professional licensees face regulatory uncertainty, on top of the everyday work of doing business. I help clients identify and navigate both business and regulatory needs, so they can focus on their practices. I have helped numerous clients obtain positive results when their licenses were on the line, after being contacted by a licensing board or regulatory agency and disqualified from working in their chosen profession. Whether it is a doctor or dentist being investigated, or an assisted living or home care agency whose license application was denied, I help clients through the often convoluted regulatory process and make sure they understand their rights, which includes an understanding of the timeline and the key staff within certain state agencies and boards.
I assist individuals and entities with health law, in matters such as responding to complaints by a regulatory board, audits, and proposed discipline against a professional license, and counsel them to help take away the uncertainty of what to expect. With my years of experience at the Attorney General’s office, I understand the process of administrative law, including at the Office of Administrative Hearings, and Fair Hearings before the Minnesota Department of Human Services, and their strict deadlines, and work diligently to use that process to my clients’ advantage.
