A FULL SERVICE TWIN CITIES LAW FIRM. LEARN MORE
With 19 lawyers, DOUGHERTY MOLENDA provides legal services in a wide variety of practice areas and industries.
AN EFFECTIVE TEAM.
Our attorneys collaborate across legal disciplines to create efficiencies and to provide better legal counsel. For example, a family law case may involve complex real estate issues. With five family law attorneys and seven attorneys certified as Real Estate Specialists by the Minnesota State Bar Association, we are equipped to provide much more to our family law clients than just family law advice. The same is true for other areas of the law. Collaboration is not necessary in every case, but when it is, our collaborative team approach is a vital asset to our clients. It's what sets us apart.
OUR NAME HAS CHANGED. We are excited to announce a transition for our law firm. As of January 1, Severson, Sheldon, Dougherty & Molenda, P.A. has become Dougherty, Molenda, Solfest, Hills & Bauer P.A., and our new home page can be found at www.dmshb.com. More
