AITKIN — Attorney Daniel Hawley will become the newest district court judge in Minnesota’s 9th Judicial District.
Gov. Tim Walz announced the appointment last week. Hawley will replace retiring Judge Erik J. Askegaard and will be chambered in Aitkin.
The 9th District encompasses a large swath of Northern Minnesota.
Hawley is a partner at Gammello-Pearson PLLC, where he practices in the areas of family law, criminal defense, civil litigation, real estate, corporate and business law, estate planning, and municipal law.
He has also served as vice president of the Aitkin/Crow Wing Bar Association and the 15th District Bar Association, president of the Crow Wing County Law Library Board of Trustees, and chair of the board of directors of Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity.
“Daniel Hawley is going to be a remarkable jurist,” Walz stated in a news release. “His distinguished career, marked by a breadth of experience across diverse areas of the law, will undoubtedly bring depth, balance, and fairness to the people of Aitkin County."
