Christina Hopke Attorney chopke@rinkenoonan.com 320-257-3877 Christina is an Associate who practices in the areas of Appeals, Employment Law, Litigation, and Real Estate Law. Being raised on a dairy farm, Christina learned early on that a key skill in life is knowing how to differentiate between the things you can control and things you can’t. Making these distinctions helps you anticipate how things beyond your control might unfold and strategize how to respond to the unexpected when it occurs. It also enables you to identify the areas where you can focus your time and energy to make the biggest impact on a situation. Christina strives to help her clients focus their time and resources on the things that they can control, to anticipate and prepare for the things that they can’t, and to thoughtfully address the unexpected when it becomes necessary. Christina is licensed to practice in Minnesota and the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota.
