About Kelly

 

At SWENSETH LAW OFFICE, we understand the obstacles and opportunities owners and operators face when doing business in rural North Dakota. We work with owners ready to forge ahead, grow their family businesses, and protect the family farmstead.  
 
Our paramount goal is to be your one-stop shop for legal and financial guidance so that you can focus on your growing business. That's why we have an attorney and certified public accountant on staff and ready to help make things less complicated. 
 
With the recent addition of a new attorney, we also offer family law and family mediation services by our qualified neutral. Mediation is one of the many methods we employ to provide strong, mutually-beneficial solutions to our clients facing family conflict. 

If you've considered taking action on behalf of your family or your business, call 701-662-5058 today to schedule an appointment to meet with SWENSETH LAW OFFICE.  Let us relieve that burden from your mind.
