April 2, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />of Berglund & Berglund, Ltd., are applying for the City Attorney position with Ramsey, <br />including applying for the City Prosecutor position. They have more experience than <br />Joseph Van Thomme and would do an outstanding job for the City of Ramsey. <br />I have known John Berglund for over 30 years and he is a highly respected attorney in <br />Anoka. Mr. Berglund has extensive experience in civil litigation, real estate matters, <br />planning and zoning matters and contract disputes. He has been involved in many cases <br />dealing with cities and has worked closely with city staff on a variety of development <br />matters throughout Anoka County. I believe John would provide excellent civil services to <br />the City of Ramsey and its citizens. <br />John's son, Mark Berglund, handles most of the criminal matters for their private clients. I <br />have handled many matters where Mark was defending individuals prosecuted by my <br />office. Mark has always represented his clients in a zealous and honorable way. Mr. <br />Berglund has incredible social skills, insight, and, in fact, handled a conflict jury trial for the <br />City of Ramsey. He is an exceptional lawyer, quite skilled in the courtroom and is well <br />respected by the judges and all the other prosecutors in Anoka County. In the event the <br />City of Ramsey elects to hire Berglund & Berglund as the City Attorney, I know that the City <br />of Ramsey not only would be happy with their representation but equally as proud. <br />I would be pleased to discuss any questions you have regarding John or Mark Berglund's <br />experience and credentials. In the event you have any questions, please feel free to call me. <br />Yours very truly, <br />HICKEN, CQ_T, �� WARD & ANDERSON, P.A. <br />ichael .. cott <br />EMAIL: M I .COTT @HSHLAW.COM <br />MJS /jal <br />
