Civil Litigation (Lawsuits)

Minnesota Civil Litigation and Appeals Attorneys

Litigation is a centerpiece of Thomsen Nybeck's client offerings. The litigation team constitutes a substantial practice group that brings service and commitment to each client's pursuit of an end through any of a myriad of forums. In addition, the firm's attorneys provide a litigator's perspective to round out the counsel to client in all our practice areas.

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. With experience and perspective, we employ the strategies and direction to obtain the best remedy. While our trial attorneys excel in classic court case litigation, 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 alternative dispute resolution options 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.

Sometimes the most important service our litigators provide is helping our transactional clients avoid litigation.

  • How do we protect clients if this contract ends up in court?
  • If something goes wrong with a real estate or business transaction, will the client's needs be protected by the courts?
  • Is a lawsuit truly in the best interests of a client?
