"His achievements are numerous from receiving a commendation from the Sibley County Attorney's office, St. Paul Citizen of the Month Award, WCCO Good Neighbor Award and the Presidential Medal of Merit, to writing 19 books, to getting the Creative Thinker Award for Lawyers. He's even acted as a co-host on a TV show called, "Great Puzzles in History" where he gave insight into the legal system.

The range of cases he handles, which includes everything from discrimination to wrongful death claims to fraudulent business practices, keeps him studying he says, but also keeps him fresh and enthused. It explains the sparkle and the humor but also the aura of curiosity that drives him and causes others to lean forward into the conversation as much as he does."
