We are a full-service family law firm offering both traditional litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution Services for marriage dissolution, custody,  paternity, various post-decree issues, and appellate work.

The Mission of Niemi, Jerabek and Kretchmer is to provide competent and professional legal representation and dispute resolution services for families and children so that through creative and equitable solutions, they can live productive and healthy lives.

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 clients' 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 - and respectfully -  advocate for our clients' interests by applying the full range of our acknowledged legal expertise.
