Magnus ensures his clients are educated about their case and what to expect as the litigation unfolds. Through dedicated work and an empathetic approach, Magnus shows his clients he’s an advocate they can trust, who always has their best interests at heart.

Outside of the firm, Magnus combines his passion for justice and love for animals as an avid supporter of animal rights.
