Who we are

We are a wife and husband team

practicing law in Minnesota. We bring a range of experiences to the table. Cameron has a background in litigation and a passion for old cars. Sharon has a background in nonprofit organizations and teaching and a passion for early medieval law codes. Sometimes we bring our dog to work. (The cats prefer to stay home).

Our firm

Our firm was founded in 1957 by Ross A. Sussman (Sharon’s step-father). Cameron joined Ross in 2010, Sharon joined them in 2016, and Ross retired in 2020 to spend more time traveling, reading spy books, and taking photographs. Ross built the firm on a few core values: Do good (great, excellent, the highest quality) work, give the client the information and tools to make informed decisions, don’t obfuscate, have fun. The firm, with a few more names and some updated technology, continues to operate on this foundation.
