Minneapolis, Minnesota, Attorney—Family Law and Attorney Coaching

When you visit our downtown Minneapolis law office, we start with a simple question: How can I help you? And we mean it. As your attorneys, we are here to help you. We know that people experiencing family law problems often need extra support, someone to listen to them and help them make decisions that may affect the rest of their lives. As experienced lawyers, we strive to provide this support. At the law offices of Kathleen M. Picotte Newman, we use Minnesota law to help our clients make informed decisions about their lives, relationships, and families.

The Experience to Handle Complicated Divorce Matters

Divorces become complicated because couples have invested emotionally and financially in their lives together. They have children who will be affected, or they have complex property that can prove difficult to divide fairly. We help with complex divorce matters, including division of closely held businesses, non-marital property, and investments. We also assist couples with child custody and the creation of parenting plans so that they can maintain relationships with their children.

Accomplished Trial Advocacy

While you may not have to go to court, choosing a lawyer who can advocate forcefully for you at trial may help you be successful in settlement negotiations. It also puts you in a more secure position to know that the lawyer you are working with is the one who will ultimately represent you with strong and convincing advocacy in the courtroom.

While we are experienced negotiators who obtain excellent results in settlement negotiations and mediation, we are also tough trial attorneys who consistently obtain excellent results. We will work with you to obtain the best result we can based on the facts of your matter. Kathleen Newman has 25 years of legal experience and has been doing trial work throughout that time. She is a Board-Certified Family Law Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. She has been listed as one of the Best Lawyers in America for 12 years,* consistently named as a Super Lawyer by Minnesota Law & Politics Magazine,‡ and is a fellow in the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
