Finding a lawyer in Hibbing

Hibbing is a city in St. Louis County on Minnesota's Iron Range, known for its open-pit iron mining, where civil and criminal cases from the city are heard in St. Louis County District Court. The region's mining economy, along with the family, criminal and personal injury matters common to any Iron Range community, shapes the kind of legal work local firms handle.

Choosing a law firm in Hibbing

Before hiring, check both Minnesota Supreme Court offices — the Lawyer Registration Office to confirm the attorney is currently authorized to practice, and the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility for any public discipline. Ask how often the lawyer appears in St. Louis County courts and whether they have handled workers' compensation or mining-related injury claims before. Settle the fee arrangement — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing before work begins.
