About
After spending nearly 20 years in a firm setting, Kevin founded his own practice devoted to representing labor unions and non-profit organizations.
Kevin advises labor unions on collective-bargaining rights and obligations, processing grievances, unfair labor practices, representation petitions, and everything in between. He has argued on behalf of Unions and their members in dozens of arbitration cases. Kevin has particular experience representing public employees in Minnesota with extensive knowledge of the Public Employment Labor Relations Act, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, and a government entity’s obligations under Minnesota’s Open Meeting Law. Kevin also frequently advocates for veterans to enforce their rights under the Minnesota Veterans Preference Act and has presented CLEs on the VPA. Kevin frequently provides training to union officers and stewards on the union member rights under state and federal law.
Kevin serves as general counsel for several labor unions and non-profit corporations. In that role, he drafts and interprets contracts and advises corporations on statutory and regulatory compliance at the federal, state, and local levels. Kevin also appears on behalf of corporate clients in court and administrative proceedings. He has managed a variety of civil litigation files, from drafting pleadings, to discovery and motion work, through verdict and appeals.
For almost 20 years, Kevin was a municipal prosecutor for several cities in Ramsey, Washington, and Dakota counties in misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases. He has helped draft legislation to reinforce public employees’ rights in employment and has been asked to testify at the state legislature with respect to proposed bills. Kevin has been frequently recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star, an honor bestowed upon less than 2.5% of eligible attorneys.
He is a 2005 graduate of Carleton College and a 2008 graduate of Mitchell Hamline College of Law. Kevin is licensed in the States of Minnesota and Utah, United States District Courts for the Districts of Minnesota and Utah, and the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
