Welcome to Klemp & Stanton | Serving the Twin Cities
When something important is at stake — your business, your family, your land, your estate, your future — you need attorneys who do more than just handle the paperwork. You need attorneys who take the time to make sure you actually understand what’s happening, what your options are, and why the work matters. That’s how we’ve practiced law for more than 34 years — and it’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every matter we take on.
Klemp & Stanton, PLLP is a Mendota Heights law firm serving individuals, families, and businesses across the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. We handle business and commercial transactions, shareholder matters, estate planning, probate, divorce and family law, employment law, and real estate law — and we bring the same straightforward, client-first approach in everything we do.
What Sets Klemp & Stanton Apart from Other Minnesota Law Firms
A lot of law firms say they care about their clients. Here’s what that actually looks like at Klemp & Stanton:
- We explain our work. We don’t just do the job and send you a bill. We walk you through what we’re doing and why we are doing it a certain way, so you understand the process and feel confident in the outcome.
- We’re accessible. You can reach us when you have questions. We don’t disappear after the initial meeting. Business and personal matters are as important to us as they are to you. We recognize the need to get in the game on the front end, rather that chasing the problem down from behind.
- We’ll come to you. For many clients, we’ll meet at your home, your business, or your financial advisor’s office.
- We’re upfront about costs. We tell you a likely and realistic range of what the work will cost before we do it. No surprises.
- We move quickly. We get the work done in a reasonable amount of time. Your business contract shouldn’t sit in a to-do stack for weeks.
These aren’t statements we make lightly. They’re simply how we work.
