Welcome to Niemi, Jerabek & Kretchmer, a full-service family law firm offering both traditional litigation and Alternative Dispute Services for marriage dissolutions, paternity, post-decree issues, and appellate work.

In addition, Andrea K. Niemi (AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell), under PACT for Families, provides a variety of alternative dispute resolution services.  

 


Family law is one of the most important and sensitive areas of legal practice because of the long-term consequences to the welfare of all parties.   Therefore, we approach each case with the profound respect it deserves.   

In most instances, the best outcome is produced through a negotiated settlement. That’s why we diligently attempt to resolve cases through a reasoned approach that achieves our client’s objectives while minimizing the cost and impact to all parties, particularly children, whenever possible.   In fact, 95% of all divorce cases in Minnesota eventually settle.

However, we recognize that sometimes it is not possible to achieve a fair and reasonable outcome short of litigation.   In those cases, we are ready, willing and able to aggressively advocate for our client’s interests by applying the full range of our acknowledged legal expertise.
