Jeff grew up in West St. Paul, graduating from Sibley High School, and pursuing undergraduate studies in political science and philosophy at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

 

He earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Minnesota Law School and Masters of Business Administration from the Carlson School of Management, both in 2000.

 

Jeff began his legal practice as an associate in the culturally rich San Francisco office of Foley & Lardner, a national law firm offering interdisciplinary counsel. While serving their Commercial Litigation and Business Reorganization department, he specialized in the field of corporate bankruptcy and worked on matters for Major League Baseball, Ameriprise Financial, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Banta Corporation, Voith Paper, the Industry Standard magazine, and San Jose Medical Group.

 

Jeff is currently admitted to practice law in Minnesota and is licensed as an inactive California attorney. He comes from the Butwinick Furniture family, a Saint Paul fixture for over 60 years in downtown Saint Paul, and believes that his upbringing in a family business allows a special perspective into the needs, concerns, and strategic goals of his business clients. He knows that clients' needs are as individual as the clients themselves, and that success means work doesn't always stop at 5:00.

 

Jeff frequently meets with clients on evenings and over the lunch hour so that they don't need to take any time off work.

 

Jeff is an avid sports fan and has been a proud Vikings season holder for years. He also enjoys Twins baseball.
