Minnesota Civil Litigation Attorneys
Litigation is not an afterthought at Thomsen & Nybeck. The litigation team constitutes a substantial practice group that brings service and commitment to each client's pursuit of and end through any of the myriad of forums. In addition, our attorneys bring a litigator's perspective to all of our practice areas. How can we protect our client if this contract ends up in court? If something goes wrong with this transaction, what will a court say? Sometimes the most important service our litigators provide is helping our transactional clients avoid litigation.
Our firm handles a wide array of litigation for our clients. Our attorneys are equipped to wage battle on all fields, including state and federal court trials, jury trials, arbitrations, and state and federal courts of appeal. However, we constantly look for the solution that best suits the client, whether that means marching into highly contentious litigation or offering guidance through mediation, arbitration or other alternatives that may be available or required to resolve a dispute. Our lawyers are trial-experienced but not trial-foolish. We are prepared to help you in the manner that best fits your needs.
