Keep disputes from standing in your way.

Legal disputes inevitably arise while doing business or managing everyday affairs. When they do, the lawyers of Duxstad, Bestul & McNaughton provide civil litigation support for individuals, small businesses, farmers, and financial institutions. The issues we help resolve include contract disputes, collections, foreclosures, evictions, quiet title actions, boundary line disputes, property damage claims, insurance disputes, estate disputes, and construction claims.  In a rural area such as ours, civil litigation often involves agriculture or ag-related businesses.

Our efforts are aimed at either recouping a client’s damages or protecting a client from damages sought by others. With every case, we explore the most cost-effective strategies to obtain a fair resolution without delays.  Disputes may be unavoidable, but the expertise of Duxstad, Bestul & McNaughton in civil litigation can keep them from impeding your life and business.
