Meet Stephen Hance

  • Stephen Hance, JD

    Steve grew up in New Brighton, Minnesota and attended the University of Minnesota and William Mitchell College of Law (Mitchell-Hamline) (Cum Laude ‘96).

    Over nearly 30 years, Steve Hance has worked in a variety of arenas including civil litigation, business, real estate, criminal, bankruptcy, probate, family law, estate planning, securities litigation and more.

    This work provides perspective and understanding. What are the true risks, worst case scenarios, what are the actual likely outcomes and what are truly the best options. In a word - perspective.

    Stephen is now dedicated to business, real estate and estate planning.

“Steve was absolutely great helping me with a lawsuit as a minority shareholder. He explained the risks and challenges clearly, always making sure I understood the next steps. Bringing a lawsuit against a business is a difficult thing to do, but I always felt that I was in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire Steve again should the need arise.


— JASON L., HANCE LAW FIRM BUSINESS CLIENT

“Steve has been providing us legal consultation since the start of our company in 2005. He has drafted several partnership contracts and navigated us through a complicated lawsuit. We feel fortunate to work with a lawyer who has mastered the practice of law and also understands business.”

— JOE M., HANCE LAW FIRM BUSINESS CLIENT
