About
Erik R. Overlid
I have worked with clients large and small - from Fortune 500 companies to mom and pop shops - on a wide variety of matters. No matter who my client is, though, my niche has always been being the attorney they can trust to “figure it out” when they have particularly challenging issues - or people - no one else can handle. This one aspect of being a lawyer, problem solving, has always been the most satisfying part of the job for me, and it’s the number one reason why I’m doing what I do now.
Outside of my practice, I was born and raised in the Twin Cities - though I did spend about a decade of my early career in Los Angeles, where I met my wife, which is now like a second home to us. I like to golf, I like to fish, and I like to travel. Frankly, most people who meet me are surprised to learn that I’m a lawyer - and I like that.
