Thanks for the kind words about my late colleague Peter Nordberg. Hopefully, his legacy will serve as a reminder that — contrary to what often appears on this site and others — there are in fact some erudite and principled attorneys in the plaintiffs’ bar.

Thanks for the mention, and you are quite welcome for the mention in the Star Tribune. You are one of my go-to sites. You give me lots of food for thought for my posts on Motherly Law!

Thanks, Anna from Motherly Law
