A devoted and hardworking attorney, Josh Brekken has committed his practice to family law for over a decade. As the owner of Brekken Law, LLC, he helps Minnesota individuals and families navigate a variety of sophisticated legal matters including divorce/dissolution, child custody, child support, spousal support, property distribution, identification of nonmarital assets, post-decree modifications, prenuptial/antenuptial and postnuptial agreements, harassment restraining orders and orders for protection, and family law appeals.
Josh completed his legal education at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 2012, summa cum laude, after receiving his Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Nevada, Reno, in 2008. During law school, he was the Student Services Committee Chairman of the Student Bar Association and a member of the Minnesota Justice Foundation. He is licensed to practice law in the state courts of Minnesota. Mindful of the emotional and financial effects of any family-law issue, Josh seeks to effectively resolve conflicts before entering the courtroom. However, he is prepared to litigate contested cases when necessary and is an extremely effective advocate with significant trial and courtroom experience. Throughout his career, he worked at other esteemed law firms where he gained substantial experience litigating family law cases, in addition to civil and business law matters. This knowledge and experience helps him effectively analyze and handle all matters in the family law realm, including business ownership, complex real estate, and related high-end financial issues. Josh gives back to the legal community by serving professional organizations and offering pro-bono services to those in need. He volunteers with Tubman Family Services and the Volunteer Lawyers Network (in addition to taking on select pro-bono causes), and previously mentored at-risk school students at the Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau. Josh has been recognized for multiple years as a North Star Lawyer by the Minnesota State Bar Association for rendering hours of pro bono services to low-income citizens.

He is the former Vice President of the Minnesota 19th District Bar Association and was an Ambassador and Member of the Woodbury Chamber of Commerce for numerous years.
