Terzich & Ort, LLP

At the Minnesota law office of Terzich & Ort, LLP, our divorce lawyers focus our practice exclusively on family law, representing men and women throughout the 13-county metropolitan area surrounding Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Under Minnesota law, the property and debt that make up a marital estate must be divided equitably between a husband and wife upon dissolution of a marriage. At Terzich & Ort LLP, our team can help you work out an agreement for the equitable distribution of assets and obligations of your marriage.

Our partners are known in the legal community for providing high-quality legal counsel at reasonable rates, and for offering prompt and courteous service with a high level of responsiveness.

First and foremost, we consider ourselves problem solvers. While we have extensive trial experience and can protect your interests in family law litigation, we prefer to look at trial as one of the many options you have to accomplish your goals. Before we start on that path, we will sit down with you and identify all the different strategies for accomplishing your objectives, taking into consideration the financial and emotional costs of each approach, as well as the anticipated time frame and your likelihood of success. Though you ultimately decide how you want to proceed, we will give you our recommendations, based on years of practice experience and a comprehensive knowledge of the law and the process. In all matters, our focus will always be on doing what is best for you.
