About Attorney Peter Ladwein

Protecting families and their legacies.

In a world that is too often cold and transactional, I consciously choose to invest in my relationship with you to protect you, your life, and your legacy. I explain below how my core values inform my work with you.

I am experienced in both collaborative and adversarial legal situations, including in administrative, state, and federal courts. I prioritize amicable, cost-effective negotiated solutions for you, and I have the substantial experience needed to take your case to trial.

Read about my experience on my LinkedIn profile.

I am licensed to practice law in Minnesota and Illinois.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame Law School summa cum laude (with highest honors) in 2009.

Core Values

Diligence

I don’t like grass growing under my feet. I strive to be early and prepared, always. You deserve it.

Communication

I communicate early and often.

I do my best to understand you and your needs.

I want you to fully understand your options.

I want you to be confident in the decisions you make.

Effective & Efficient

I believe you want me to focus on you and your legal goals, not on financing a gilded office.

I leverage technology in order to reduce overhead and focus on you.

I enjoy meeting you on Zoom, by phone, or in person when and where suits you.

More About Me

My life experiences make me especially passionate to advocate for:

- those who have disabilities or different abilities;

- those who are marginalized because of immutable characteristics such as race, ethnicity, congenital traits, sex, gender, or sexual orientation;

- those who have experienced spiritual, emotional, psychological, or physical abuse.

I relocated to Minnesota at the end of 2024, after living and practicing law in the Chicago area, northern Indiana, and central Illinois. I enjoy podcasts and good storytelling. I love to hike, bike, swim, camp, ice skate, and otherwise enjoy the great outdoors. I do not enjoy mosquitoes. We all have our limits.
