About Ohnstad Twichell P.C.

We May Be Just the Firm You’re Looking For

Choosing a law firm can sometimes be tricky. On one hand, you likely want the resources and combined legal talents of a large firm. On the other hand, you don’t want to be just another client. Instead, you want the personalized attention that small firms tend to offer.

Thankfully, you don’t need to choose one or the other when you work with Ohnstad Twichell, P.C. As one of North Dakota’s oldest and most established law firms, we have the personnel and diverse legal experience to help you with almost any legal issue you may be facing. Our team consists of 24 attorneys and 34 additional staff members working in three office locations. That makes us large enough to take on a wide variety of legal practice areas and small enough to show each client that they are a top priority.

The History of the Firm

The law firm of Ohnstad Twichell, P.C. was founded in 1939 by Manfred R. Ohnstad. In 1955, the firm partnered with Daniel R. Twichell, and the name has remained since then. The firm has deep roots in the Red River Valley, with offices in Casselton, Hillsboro, Page, and West Fargo.

The firm has grown to become one of the largest law firms in the region, yet continues to remain committed to its core values: integrity, respect, teamwork, community, and excellence. As the firm grows, its employees remain anchored to its core values to provide clients exceptional legal service in a number of practice areas.

The staff at Ohnstad Twichell are a team of dedicated and talented professionals committed to improving the lives of their clients and creating strong communities by providing custom legal solutions with integrity and excellence.

With the move of its West Fargo office to the new location at 444 Sheyenne Street in West Fargo, the practice is poised for future growth and remains the community-minded law firm that provides personalized, broad-ranging legal services that meet the needs of its clients.
