Firm Overview

Binsfeld & Engebretson, P.A. is one of the few law firms in the Twin Cities to offer a full range of immigration services to both individuals and businesses. These services include asylum claims, family based petitions, all aspects of removal proceedings, appeals, employment petitions and naturalization matters. In addition to immigration,  Binsfeld & Engebretson offers a range of other legal services including defending those who have been accused of a crime, or who have had their civil or employment rights adversely affected by government officials or employers, or who need family law services.

The law firm originated in the 1980s when Phillip Fishman started a solo practice in Minneapolis. In those early days, Mr. Fishman was also teaching constitutional law at Augsburg College in Minneapolis where he recruited several of his top students, including Misti Allen Binsfeld and Rachel Engebretson, to work with him. This group of bright, highly motivated persons, working as a team, expanded the practice.  Misti Allen Binsfeld joined Phillip Fishman as a partner in the firm in 2000. Rachel Engebretson became an attorney in 2008 and continued her work with the firm. Today, the combined experience of the attorneys and staff at Binsfeld & Engebretson brings profound and expansive perspective to legal representation.
