It is a fact of modern life that most businesses and individuals will at some time be in need of a lawyer who can "go to court" and be fully prepared to act on the client's behalf in the courtroom.  Trial law is commonly divided into two areas:  criminal and civil.  Any legal case not involving accusation of crime is usually considered a "civil" case.

Litigation is the legal process leading to and through trial. Lano, O'Toole & Bengtson has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the premier civil trial law firms in Northern Minnesota.  Our lawyers all have substantial experience in civil litigation and trials.

Areas of our civil trial and litigation practice include:
