Minnesota Lawyer Unsung Legal Hero (2024)

“I like to place myself in the position of the client and conduct myself in a way that will be most beneficial to the client and FMJ.  I love the challenge of having many balls up in the air and not letting any fall to the ground.”

After living on the West Coast and in the Southern United States for 16 years, Sharon moved back to her native Minnesota in 1998. After raising her two sons, Sharon now enjoys all outdoor activities, particularly kayaking, time at the lake cabin and has recently taken up the great sport of golf, hoping one day to be good enough to be somewhat competitive on the course with her sons.
