Ogborn Mihm, LLP

The attorneys at OMQ Legal have decades of experience representing business clients in high-stakes commercial and contract litigation. Unlike many business litigation firms that are law and motion firms, settle, and never actually go to trial, we have substantial experience trying such business cases to juries and judges. We have successfully represented clients in hundreds of jury trials, bench trials and arbitrations involving a wide variety of business disputes. While we represent a significant number of our clients on an hourly basis, we also consider alternative fee arrangements, such as contingent fee agreements, for appropriate business litigation matters.

We represent clients from the planning stages to the wind-down of business entities and at all points between. Our entity clients include those formed in South Dakota and conducting business here or requiring registration in other states and those formed elsewhere and seeking South Dakota business registration, registered agent services or other legal representation. Our comprehensive legal services are designed to assure the continuing existence of the entity and to insure the liability protections, effective governance structure and other benefits of a range of business entity structures.

Our attorneys have attended to their construction clients’ needs including drafting contracts, litigating construction claims, prosecution of mechanics liens, identifying and negotiating scope of work disputes including change orders, calculating and litigating delay and acceleration claims, design defect claims as well as environmental issues such as mold, asbestos and mercury claims for almost a quarter-century. The construction litigation group is led by Mike Ogborn and Mike Cross. Together, they have represented general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers as well as associations and individuals in construction defect claims. Mike and Mike are cost-conscious, but remain aggressive advocates on behalf of the clients. Their breadth of experience in the construction industry will benefit you in your construction-related case.
