Representative Matters:

  • Reynolds v. Pennsylvania Higher Educ. Assistance Agency, 425 F.3d 526 (8th Cir. 2005), cert. denied, 127 S.Ct. 46 (2006). Successfully protected a groundbreaking bankruptcy opinion on appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and, ultimately, on petition for certiori to the United States Supreme Court. Pro bono case.
  • State Farm Fire & Casualty v. Aquila, Inc., 697 N.W.2d 636 (Minn. App. 2005). Obtained appellate court reversal of summary judgment. Appellate court determined, contrary to the trial court's ruling, that a natural gas provider could be found liable for the defective nature of its pipeline system without specific knowledge of a defect, and that Minnesota's statute of repose did not preclude recovery for damages caused by a gas explosion.
