You must read the following notice before sending an e-mail message to Robins Kaplan LLP.
Any information that you send us in an e-mail message should not be confidential or otherwise privileged information. Sending us an e-mail message will not make you a client of Robins Kaplan LLP. We do not accept representation until we have had an opportunity to evaluate your matter, including but not limited to an ethical evaluation of whether we are in a conflict position to represent you. Accordingly, the information you provide to us in an e-mail should not be information for which you would have an expectation of confidentiality.
If you are interested in having us represent you, you should call us so we can determine whether the matter is one for which we are willing or able to accept professional responsibility. We will not make this determination by e-mail communication. The telephone numbers and addresses for our offices are listed on this page. We reserve the right to decline any representation. We may be required to decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with our other clients.

At Robins Kaplan LLP, our attorneys excel at managing and preserving wealth for clients, executing on the administration of wealth succession, and resolving wealth disputes with excellence and mastery.
Our national reputation for excellence includes wins in the fiduciary arena for trustees and fiduciaries, personal representatives, beneficiaries, guardians, and conservators.
Our wealth lawyers have an in-depth understanding of the complicated system of laws and regulations that control various fiduciary obligations, end-of-life wealth distribution, and property and asset valuation.
We know the best ways to navigate the emotional issues that often come up in wealth planning and administration, and disputes. Whether litigating fiduciary matters, inheritance or succession issues, or contested charitable donations, we help clients cut through confusion to find a path to resolution.
Our clients benefit from our close collaboration with the mediators, expert witnesses, tax professionals, and healthcare personnel we work with in order to maximize positive results and outcomes.
Experience

Managed by Brendan Johnson, who previously served as the presidentially appointed United States Attorney for the District of South Dakota, our South Dakota trust litigation practice combines the resources and experience of a national law firm with an in-depth understanding of South Dakota litigation and South Dakota trust disputes.
Our attorneys strategically plan and administer, mediate, or litigate on a wide range of wealth matters:
