Ross's experience and knowledge means his clients can be assured their loved one's estates are properly handled. Business Litigation: Ross works with businesses and individuals in all forms of business litigation, including breach of contract claims, collections, partnership and corporation disputes, real property claims, and construction litigation. He works with his clients to guide them through every single stage of the litigation process from drafting initial documents, getting the information and documents to build the case, and finally to trial. Professional Liability & Board Disputes: Ross represents individuals before administrative boards in both North Dakota and Minnesota. He has appeared before the North Dakota Board of Nursing, and the chiropractic boards in Minnesota and North Dakota. He works with his clients to ensure they receive a fair process and hearing.
