About
Erik R. Overlid
I have worked most recently as a partner in a large national law firm, with a background in a wide variety of matters. Throughout my career, my niche has always been being the attorney my clients 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.
