Steady, strategic guidance from a Minnesota divorce lawyer with over 30 years of experience
Dan Fiskum, Minnesota Divorce and Family Law Attorney
I have practiced divorce and family law in Minnesota for over thirty years and have spent the past twenty years in the same office in Minnetonka, Minnesota. As a Minnetonka divorce lawyer serving the greater Twin Cities area, I chose to build my practice here because it allows me to work closely with clients who value thoughtful decision-making, efficiency and sound judgment-rather than volume-driven litigation.
I do my best work for clients who want clear, steady guidance through a difficult transition. As a Minnesota divorce lawyer based in Minnetonka, I work best with people who:
- Want a lawyer who is calm, experienced and thoughtful, even when emotions are running high
- Are looking for straight answers, not promises or theatrics
- Value strategy and judgment over unnecessary conflict
- Want to protect their children, finances, and long-term stability
- Understand that divorce is rarely easy, but believe it can be handled professionally and intelligently
- Are open to resolving matters efficiently when possible and litigating only when it truly matters.
A Strategic, Realistic Approach to Minnesota Divorce Law
Early in my career I learned that divorce and family-law clients value clarity, competence, and emotional steadiness far more than aggression and theatrics. My approach can be summed up in a single phrase: strategic realism.
Some clients want to avoid chaos. Some clients are overwhelmed. Some clients simply want to protect their future and avoid unforced errors. I respect my clients’ intelligence and emotions, and I take the time to fully understand their situation.
I explain how Minnesota divorce law applies to their specific circumstances, including issues involving custody, parenting time, property division, and support, and what they are likely to encounter in mediation, Early Neutral Evaluation, or court, and how decisions made now can affect them later. Together, we develop a realistic and effective strategy aligned with their goals.
This approach has two advantages. It is effective – and it gives clients peace of mind.
