About Steven M

Steven M Coodin took a conventional path into the law, starting with a liberal arts education and finishing at a regional law school. He earned a B.A. from the University of Manitoba in 1996, majoring in psychology and minoring in sociology. He went on to receive his J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2001.

After law school he entered private practice. In 2002 he opened Coodin Law Office, LLC and worked as a solo practitioner. He handled the responsibilities that come with running a small firm: client intake, case management and courtroom appearances. Those early years shaped the way he approaches client work and firm management.

In 2005 he joined forces with a colleague and became a partner at Coodin & Overson, PLLP. That move marked a shift from a one-person operation to a partnership model. It also introduced new administrative duties and collaborative casework. As a partner he has participated in the strategic decisions that guide a small firm and helped supervise associates and staff.

Coodin practices in Minnesota. He maintains membership in the Washington County Bar Association. Over more than two decades in practice he has continued to serve individuals and businesses in the state. His career has involved both solo and collaborative practice, and he has experience managing the practical and procedural aspects of running a law office.

Colleagues describe him as steady and attentive to detail. He is known for handling the day-to-day work that keeps cases moving forward. He balances written work with court appearances, and he has a background that includes client counseling, litigation tasks and case administration. His experience spans different practice settings, from single-attorney representation to a small partnership environment.

He is based in Minnesota and remains active in the local bar association. He currently practices law in Minnesota as a partner at Coodin & Overson, PLLP, handling legal matters for clients across the state.
