Before attending law school, she graduated with Honors from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. Because of her business background, she is particularly equipped to manage cases that entail significant tax and financial issues, as well as closely held business interests and self-employed parties. She has been voted a "Super Lawyer" as well as a "Rising Star" by her peers.

Some of Linda's past and present volunteer experiences includes: Financial Early Neutral Evaluation Evaluator, Ethics Investigator to the Lawyers Board of Professional Responsibility, Board of Directors - National Association of Women Business Owners, Volunteer Attorney and Seminar Presenter - Chrysalis Center for Women, Volunteer Attorney - Dads and Families Center in Washington County, Director - Community Mediation Program, Chair - Collaborative Law Institute, Membership Committee and Member, Strategic Planning Committee.

Linda is a Hennepin County Conciliation Court Judge on occasion and finds that the exercise of "thinking like a judge" helps her present cases more effectively to the Court on behalf of her clients. She understands the needs of business owners and received the Young Woman Business Owner award from the National Association of Women Business Owners.

Linda's favorite opposing counsels are Max, Jack, and Ellie. Though they are ages three, five and seven they seemingly win every argument.

Linda is licensed to practice law in the State of Minnesota.
