ABST

Our firm was originally founded in 1981 with its doors opening as Hanson, Crockett & Anderson. Since then the firm has gone through several name changes: Crockett & Anderson (1985-1990); Anderson & Bailly (1991-1999); Anderson & Bottrell (2000-2006); and now Anderson, Bottrell, Sanden & Thompson (2007-present).

For over 30 years our lawyers have served not only the Fargo-Moorhead area but the states of North Dakota and Minnesota. Time has also brought growth. Founded by a few attorneys, the firm now has over a dozen lawyers working in diverse areas of the law including real estate, corporate, banking, debtor-creditor, family, and estate planning. When necessary to protect the interests of our clients the firm also maintains a significant litigation practice.

Our lawyers are licensed to practice in the state and federal courts of North Dakota and Minnesota.
