Charles W. Hanson

Growing up, Charles lived in several communities.  He understands the close-knit nature of small towns as well as the diverse populations of large cities.  Prior to his legal career, Charles was a member of the United States Air Force during the first Gulf War.  He received numerous medals and distinctions for his service and as a member of the Honor Guard.  After the Air Force, Charles owned his own business in New Ulm, where he learned the importance of good customer service and being a member of the community.  Charles brings his understanding of leadership and good customer relations to the practice of law.  His legal practice reflects his numerous and varied life experiences as well as his commitment to family and community.
